What type of dental care does TRICARE provide?

TRICARE provides a range of dental care through the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) and the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) for eligible beneficiaries. These programs are designed to offer comprehensive dental services, including preventive care, diagnostic services, basic restorative treatments, and other essential dental care requirements for active duty service members, their families, and retirees.

This structure allows beneficiaries to receive a wide variety of dental services, making it a valuable resource for maintaining dental health. The inclusion of these programs emphasizes TRICARE’s commitment to ensure that those who have served in the military and their dependents have access to necessary dental care beyond just emergency services.
