Care for your country and career. As an Officer in the Dental Corps, you will undergo training, experiences, and challenges that extend far beyond the scope of a civilian dental practice. Serving in our force, you will provide care to Navy and Marine Corps personnel, their families, and retirees while enjoying the flexibility to perform in a wide variety of academic, clinical, and operational settings.

Typically, you may serve in well-equipped shore facilities or even aboard large ships at sea. In times of national emergency, you may be called upon to augment the Medical Corps by providing mass casualty and trauma care.

With flexible training options, members of the Dental Corps are able to maximize both their civilian and military experiences. What’s more, you will enjoy an unrivaled sense of pride and fulfillment known only to those who serve.
