DENTAC

The United States Army Dental Activity (DENTAC) units were established to provide comprehensive dental care to soldiers and military beneficiaries, ensuring the dental readiness of Army personnel worldwide. Originating in the 1970s, DENTACs operate at major Army installations, serving as the local command for dental treatment facilities and personnel. Their mission encompasses routine dental care, emergency services, and deployment support, directly contributing to overall force health protection. Over the decades, DENTACs have adapted to advances in dental medicine and operational requirements, playing a vital role in preserving the Army’s combat effectiveness and quality of life.
