Licences, CE, X-ray checks and indemnity for the whole practice, in one place.
A dental practice tracks two kinds of deadline: credentials held by each clinician, and registrations, inspections and policies held by the practice. ExpiryEdge records both with expiry dates, documents and owners, and reminds the clinician and the practice manager at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days, so renewals and CE are done before the date rather than after an inspection.

Quick answer
A dental practice tracks radiation equipment checks, CE or CPD and indemnity renewals by giving each one a record with its due date, document and owner, then setting reminders early enough to act. ExpiryEdge holds clinician licences, CE, BLS and indemnity against each person, and X-ray inspections, sterilizer testing and equipment service against each surgery, with reminders at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days and escalation if a date passes.
What a dental practice keeps current
Dentist and hygienist licences or registrations
Continuing education (CE / CPD) hours per cycle
BLS / CPR certification for clinical staff
X-ray equipment registration and inspection
Sterilizer / autoclave spore testing logs
DEA and state controlled-substance registrations (US)
Malpractice or professional indemnity insurance
OSHA and infection control training
HIPAA privacy and security training
Radiation safety training for staff who take X-rays
Equipment service: compressor, suction, handpieces
Premises lease and service contracts
Who uses it in a dental practice
Practice owners
Carry the licence, the registrations and the liability for the whole practice, and want one list of what is due rather than a desk of renewal letters.
Practice managers
Run the renewal calendar for every clinician and every surgery, and assemble the evidence when an inspector, insurer or payer asks.
Associate dentists and hygienists
Get their own reminders for licence renewal, CE hours and BLS, and upload the new certificate straight to their record.
Compliance and infection control leads
Keep sterilizer testing, radiation checks and infection control training current, with SOP checklists for the recurring routines.
Multi-location dental groups
See every practice on one screen, compare which sites are behind, and standardise renewal cadences across the group.
People, equipment and the practice, each with its own records
Licence, CE and BLS against each dentist and hygienist
Licence renewal cycles and CE requirements are set by each state board or national regulator, and a clinician registered in two jurisdictions has two dates to meet. Hold each credential against the person with the certificate attached. Reminders go to the clinician and the practice manager together, starting 90 days out so CE hours can be completed before the renewal is filed.
One record per licence, per jurisdiction
CE certificates attached to the clinician record
Clinician and practice manager notified together
X-ray inspections and sterilizer testing on a schedule, with the log attached
Radiation equipment inspection intervals and sterilizer monitoring frequencies are set by your state or national authority and by the manufacturer. Record each X-ray unit and autoclave per surgery, set the recurring check, and attach the report or log each time. SOP checklists cover the steps, owners and sign-off for routines such as weekly spore testing.

The evidence an inspector or insurer asks for, already filed
Every renewal, reminder and uploaded document is timestamped. When an inspector, indemnity provider or payer asks for proof that a clinician was licensed or a unit was inspected on a given date, export the records by person, surgery or practice as CSV, PDF or XLSX.

Role-based access for each site
What changes for the practice manager
Licence dates in one spreadsheet, BLS cards in a drawer, the X-ray inspection report in an email from last year, and the indemnity renewal on the owner's personal calendar. Nobody knows what is due until something lapses.
Every clinician credential and every surgery check sits on one dashboard with its document. Reminders reach the clinician and the practice manager at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days, and anything overdue escalates to the practice owner.

Give each item a record with its due date, document and owner, and attach it to the right place: CPD and indemnity against the clinician, radiation checks against the X-ray unit in each surgery. Reminders should start early enough to book an engineer or finish CPD hours, typically 90 days out. ExpiryEdge sends reminders at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days to the owner and the practice manager, and escalates if the date passes. Inspection intervals and CPD requirements vary by country and regulator, so set the dates from your own regulator's rules.
Hold each licence against the clinician, one record per jurisdiction, with the licence number, issuing board, expiry date and a copy of the current licence. Attach CE certificates to the clinician record and set a reminder ahead of the end of the CE cycle, so there is time to complete any outstanding hours before the deadline. Reminders go to the clinician and the practice manager together. Licence cycles and CE hour requirements are set by each state board or national regulator and differ between dentists and hygienists, so check the rules with the issuing board.
Create a BLS or CPR record for every clinical team member, including dentists, hygienists and dental assistants, with the card attached and its expiry date. Filter by practice to see who is valid, expiring or expired. Reminders go to the staff member and the practice manager, starting early enough to book a class, because group courses often need weeks of notice. New hires can upload their current card through a link with no login, so the record is in place before their first patient.
Record each prescriber's DEA registration and any state controlled-substance registration as separate items, because they usually renew on different dates and with different authorities. Store the registration number, expiry date and certificate on each record, and set the first reminder early enough to cover the renewal process and any state registration the DEA renewal depends on. ExpiryEdge reminds the prescriber and the practice manager and escalates if the date passes. It does not file the renewal with the DEA; check current renewal requirements with the DEA and your state authority.
Keep the evidence where the deadline is. Every licence, certificate, inspection report and sterilizer log should sit on the record it relates to, with a timestamp. Use recurring items for routine checks and SOP checklists for the steps behind them, so you can show both that the check was done and who signed it off. When an inspector arrives, filter by practice and export the current status and history in CSV, PDF or XLSX rather than gathering paper from several drawers.
Group every clinician and every piece of equipment by practice. Each practice manager sees and manages their own site; group operations sees every practice, filtered by what expires in the next 30, 60 or 90 days. Standard reminder cadences and SOP checklists can be applied across the group, and clinicians who work at several sites keep one record for their personal credentials. When a practice manager leaves, their renewals move to a new owner in one click.
