Which of the following is true about the continuing education requirements for retired dentists?

Retired dentists in North Carolina are indeed exempt from all continuing education (CE) and CPR requirements. This exemption acknowledges the status of retired dentists, who are not actively practicing and therefore do not need to maintain the same level of education and medical readiness as actively practicing professionals. This policy allows retired dentists to enjoy their retirement without the ongoing demands of professional education while ensuring that only those practicing maintain the necessary credentials to ensure patient safety and care standards.

The other options suggest requirements that do not apply to retired dentists. For instance, maintaining active certification or completing ongoing education hours would only apply to those still practicing dentistry, not to those who have formally retired from the profession.
