Florida Laws & Rules Exam Prep for Dentists and Dental Hygienists
One course for each license. Learn the statutes and rules in plain English, practice with questions that explain every answer, then rehearse with a timed practice exam.
The short answer
Florida requires every dental and dental hygiene license applicant to pass a written Laws & Rules exam with 75% or better. Per ADEX, both are 90-minute computer-based exams at Prometric, with up to 67 items for dentists and up to 64 for hygienists (confirm at adextesting.org). Our courses cover each for $49 one-time (90 days), with a free preview.
