Approved Courses

Verification of Completion

Verification of completion of ultrasonic scaling is to be retrieved from the provider who taught the course if taken within the last 5 years.

If the course was taken longer than 5 years ago, you can request a new certificate from COMDA in writing.  IF COMDA has a record of your course completion, you will be required to pay a fee of $25 for a replacement certificate.

If COMDA does NOT have a record of your course completion, you will need to retake the course.

If you need to retake the course, please see the list of approved courses.

Licensees

As a licensee, if your ultrasonic scaling certification is documented on your license, you can request a license certification.  You can make your request to COMDA in writing along with the $25 fee for a certification of a license.  The ultrasonic scaling information will be included in the license certification.
