Eligibility and Priority

• Priority for dental care is given to active duty service members to ensure mission readiness.
• Dental care for other eligible beneficiaries, such as dependents and retirees, is provided on a space-available basis.  

TRICARE Dental Program (off-base care)

Due to the limited nature of on-base dependent care, most family members use their TRICARE dental insurance at off-base host-nation clinics. No referral is needed. We highly advise enrolling your family in a dental plan to ensure they have immediate access to care. 

• To learn more about the TRICARE Dental Program (administered by United Concordia) for active duty families, please visit: www.uccitd.com 
• For information on all plans, including retiree options through FEDVIP, visit: www.tricare.mil/dental
