Dec 30, 2025

The following notice was shared with the Georgia Dental Association by the Georgia Board of Dentistry.

Notice: Extension of Renewal Deadline to February 6, 2026

This deadline has been extended to February 6, 2026. During this time, all licensees with an “Active” license status shall be authorized to practice lawfully, despite their license displaying an expiration date of December 31, 2025.
