Hours of operation: Monday through Friday from 7:00 am - 4:00 pm.
The Dental Flight provides comprehensive general dental service for
active duty members of Task Force Rock. Dental services offered include:
preventive dental health procedures, routine fillings, oral surgery, prosthetics
(crowns, bridges, and removable appliances), periodontics (gum maintenance and
surgery), and root canals.
Generally, routine appointments are available
within 10 duty days. Some dental specialty services require more coordination
and therefore may not be available in the 10-day window. Some services are not
available within six months of projected separation or retirement.
Routine annual appointments for examinations and dental cleanings can be
made through your Unit Health Monitor or scheduler or by calling the 314th
Dental Flight at 987-7304 or 987-7331.
Emergency dental care
appointments are available from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. by calling our
appointment desk listed above. During this appointment you will have your dental
problem evaluated, and if necessary, prompt treatment provided.
In some
cases, non-urgent treatment may be scheduled at a later date, so we can preplan
the proper resources to meet your dental needs. On non-duty days or after normal
duty hours, access to emergency care to relieve severe pain, control bleeding,
or treat swelling caused by infection can be obtained by calling the primary
care manager on duty.
On Saturdays, emergency dental care is also
available by reporting to the family practice clinic during their Saturday
hours.
All non-active duty beneficiaries can be given emergency dental
care that is necessary to relieve immediate pain and suffering. Many dental
insurance programs, to include the Family Member Dental Plan, the Retiree Dental
Plan, and the Reserve Dental Plan (all administered by Concordia Dental Plans,
1-800-866-8499), all provide for emergency service visits.
If you have a
civilian dentist, it is usually best that you first attempt to contact that
dentist to ensure continuity of treatment.
