Appointments are for active duty service members only. Dependents of active duty, retirees, and dependents of retirees can be seen for emergencies, but will need to follow up with their civilian provider for dental care. A dental provider is available for after-hours emergencies through the Military Health System’s Nurse Advice Line. 

Dental Options Other Than Military Dental Clinics 

For dental care other than at a military dental clinic, TRICARE offers dental coverage for service members, families, and survivors. Additionally, retired service members, their families and certain survivors may qualify to purchase dental coverage through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program.
