The primary mission of the dental service is to maintain optimal
dental health of active duty members. All active duty personnel
receive a periodic dental examination and teeth cleaning and have priority for
routine treatment over all other categories of beneficiaries. Family
members enrolled in the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) are not entitled care at
this facility. Retirees and their family members and active duty
family members not enrolled in TDP are eligible to receive care on a space
available basis only. Information and enrollment forms for TDP are
available at the TRICARE Service Center located adjacent to the Dental
Clinic. Dental Clinic duty hours are 0715 to 1630
hours. Dental sick call is held every weekday at 0715 and 1230
hours. Emergency care is available to all categories of beneficiaries
to relieve swelling, bleeding, or severe pain. After duty hours, a
dental officer is on call and patients should call (919)
580-4184.
