Dental Corps

The Dental Corps is a specialized branch within many national armed forces, dedicated to providing dental care and oral health services to military personnel. Established in the early 20th century, such as the U.S. Army Dental Corps founded in 1911, its mission has been crucial in maintaining troop readiness by preventing and treating dental issues on and off the battlefield. Over the decades, Dental Corps units have deployed alongside combat and support units in major conflicts, including both World Wars, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and recent operations in the Middle East. Today, the Dental Corps continues to advance military medicine, utilizing the latest technologies and techniques to ensure the health and well-being of service members worldwide.
