Important Changes to General Anesthesia License Renewal

Important Changes to General Anesthesia License Renewal

The season of Ohio dental license renewal is about to begin. This year, there is a very important new step that oral and maxillofacial surgeons must follow:

General anesthesia permits will no longer be automatically renewed with your dental license.

What You Need to Know

• Separate Renewal Process: Renewing your general anesthesia license now requires a second, separate process in the Ohio eLicense system.

• Firm Deadline: Renewal must be completed by December 31, 2025.

  • Failure to renew on time will result in immediate loss of the license.

  • There is no extension or grace period.

  • Once lapsed, the only way to regain the license is to submit a new application that meets all current requirements, including a full office evaluation by the Ohio Dental Board
