BLS Certification Requirements for Dental Offices

Dental professionals are typically required to maintain Basic Life Support (BLS) certification as part of their role. This applies to:

Dentists

Dental assistants
Clinical team members involved in patient care

Most dental offices follow American Heart Association (AHA) standards, which require hands-on, instructor-led training.

If your team needs clinical-level certification, BLS is the correct course.

BLS vs CPR & First Aid — What Dental Offices Actually Need

There’s often confusion between CPR classes and BLS certification.

BLS (Basic Life Support) is designed for healthcare providers and includes team-based response, 2-rescuer CPR, and clinical scenarios
CPR & First Aid is intended for the general public and non-clinical environments

For dental offices, BLS is the standard requirement.

BLS Training Pricing for Dental Offices

Pricing for on-site BLS training is based on several factors, including your location, the training format you choose, and the number of students in your group. Since every dental office operates a little differently, pricing is customized to fit your specific needs.

For example, offices in Bellingham and surrounding areas may have slight variations in pricing depending on travel and scheduling considerations. The training format also affects cost—HeartCode BLS (online + skills session) and traditional in-person classes are structured differently and may vary accordingly.
