Mandatory Licensure Renewal Course
This course meets the Dental Board of California’s mandated license-renewal CE requirement of responsibilities and requirements of prescribing Schedule II opioid drugs. This webinar is live and interactive.

Opioid misuse and overdose are at an epidemic level in the state and the country, driven by a myriad of factors including COVID, poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and professional overprescribing of opioids. This course aims to address the complex issues associated with substance use disorders and the role of dental professionals in addressing the opioid crisis by screening for substance use disorders, referring patients for sobriety and recovery support, and providing evidence-based pain management. This course satisfies the biennial mandatory course requirement of opioid training for California dental licensees and the DEA MATE requirement for registrant renewal.

Learning objectives:

• To identify patients at risk or with a substance use disorder
• The requirements as a prescriber and dispenser of Schedule II opioids
• Evidence-based strategies for dental pain management patients with opioid addiction
• Current trends in substance use that may be seen in dental practice
