Continuing Education for Dentists in Tulare and Kings Counties

Continuing education is not just a licensing requirement. It is the foundation of clinical excellence and patient safety. Tulare Kings Dental Society provides structured, relevant CE courses designed specifically for dental professionals practicing in the Central Valley. Our 2026 CE schedule includes:

2-hour Study Club sessions at restaurant venues

6-hour CE courses held at the Visalia Wyndham

8-hour Infection Control courses pending board approval

CPR training opportunities throughout the year

CDPA, ICN, OSHA, and Office Emergency courses

All classes are designed to meet California dental requirements while providing practical, real-world value. Members receive six individual CE passes per year, excluding CPR, helping reduce education costs while maintaining compliance.


From opioid compliance to pediatric pearls and office emergencies, our continuing education events focus on the issues dentists actually face in practice. You leave with actionable knowledge, not just a certificate.

Professional Networking That Strengthens Your Dental Practice

Tulare Kings Dental Society is more than a CE provider. It is a professional dental association built on collaboration. Dentistry can be demanding and complex. Being part of a local network ensures you are never navigating challenges alone. Membership gives you access to:

  • A trusted referral network of general dentists and specialists
  • Peer consultation and mentorship opportunities
  • Direct communication with local colleagues
  • A platform to build professional relationships
  • A stronger collective voice in regional dentistry

When dentists connect regularly through study clubs and events, better patient care follows. Referrals become seamless. Professional advice becomes accessible. The entire dental community becomes stronger.
