Dental care in USMC?

Hi I would like to know hows the dental care for people in the Marines, like can you go to the dentist and get a tooth fixed and the Corps will pay all the bill?. I'm asking because I'll be joining the Marines in some time and last night at a party I chipped a tooth by accident, its not a big thing like a tooth broken in half or something like that but I did chipped it a lil bit.... again I would like to know hows the deal with the dentists when you're in the military because I'm thinking that maybe after I'm in I could get that tooth fixed and paid for by the government.

All service personnel receive free medical and dental. But it doesn not apply to your dependents. Your tooth will be repaired as long as it is not cosmetic work. They will not perform cosmetic dental work.





Don't worry Devil Dog, the Navy will take good care of you. :-)
Reply:First you have to become a Marine! I would get it fixed now because the Navy Dentist are not the best in the world unless it comes to pulling the teeth out.


They love to pull the wisdom teeth!!!!
Reply:Boy, that is the lamest excuse yet for joining the Marines ! Yes, the dept of Navy will accomodate you eventually, for the chipped tooth ! It may not happen right away, but eventually it will be done !

The short answer is yes, they'll fix it for free, but check the two web sites to be sure.
Reply:You get free dental while in the Marines..





The Navy dentist will rip out, patch, clean, and fill any bad fangs you may have.





Your fangs should be the LAST thing on your mind if your interested in becomming a Marine.
