Not exactly sure what you are asking but ....

A dentist has to complete a certain number of continuing education hours each year (varies depending on state of licensure) - so yes, you do have to go back to "school" just to make sure you stay current with changes in techniques, materials and so on.

If a general dentist wants to become a specialist they have to go "back to school" to attend the residency they are considering (oral surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, etc)

If they want to learn a specific skill or achieve a certification such as IV sedation they would have to go back to school as well, unless it was taught to them at their dental school (unlikely) or residency (if they attended one)
