Georgia dental licenses renew on a biennial cycle: under Board Rule 150-3-.05, all dental and dental-hygiene licenses expire at the close of December 31 in every odd-numbered year. Dentist licenses are administratively revoked on July 1 of the following even-numbered year if not renewed; dental hygienists have a late-renewal window from January 1 through June 30 of that same even-numbered year. Renewals are processed online through the Board's eGov portal at gadch.mylicense.com/eGov; paper renewal forms are not available.
