The Dental Corps at Great Lakes Naval Training Center has played a vital role in supporting the health and readiness of U.S. Navy personnel since the early 20th century. Established to provide dental care for recruits and personnel, the Dental Corps expanded significantly during both World Wars to meet the demands of rapidly increasing troop numbers. Over the decades, the unit has integrated advanced dental technologies and preventive care programs, ensuring sailors are fit for duty. Today, the Dental Corps at Great Lakes continues to deliver comprehensive dental services, supporting the mission of the Navy’s largest training installation.
