ARMY DENTAL CLINICS IN EUROPE TEMPORARILY SUSPEND ROUTINE OR ELECTIVE CARE
Due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in Europe and in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus and protect the health and welfare of its beneficiary population, effectively immediately, all Army Dental Clinics in Europe are temporarily suspending all routine dental appointments.
Routine, or elective, appointments are those that do not require immediate or urgent care and can be postponed until risk of transmission of COVID-19 is lower.
Elective care includes; routine cleanings, fillings or restorative work, including pediatric and orthodontic care.
Patients with routine appointments will be notified of appointment cancellations and provided information on when and how to reschedule.
Army Dental Clinics will, however, continue to see patients on an “emergency” basis.
For more information, please contact your local Army Dental Clinic.
