Do you have the CE hours you need? We can help you get there.

Dr. *|LNAME|*, we have 2 controlled substances CE courses coming up on the TDA Dental Concierge. Here’s why you should take them:
  1. They can help you work toward meeting your TSBDE controlled substance requirements. 
  2. They’re good for regular CE hours toward your license renewal, too. 
  3. After you finish, the app will automatically update and track your hours for you!
