The 435th Dental Records and Reception Element schedules approximately 5,000 dental visits per month. The primary mission is to provide care for active-duty members assigned to Ramstein. Family member care is important to the dental clinic and is provided after active duty mission requirements have been met – approximately 50 percent of dental visits are utilized by family members. Due to the large amount of eligible patients, a new phone system and expanded appointment time availability has been established. Active-duty family member exam and cleaning appointments can be accessed daily through the appointment line at 479-2210. Select option 2 to see if active-duty family member exam cleaning appointments are available. Patients can call daily to check for open appointments. Also remember:
Dental emergencies such as uncontrolled bleeding, swelling, infection, pain and broken or chipped teeth should be brought to the dental clinic at 7 a.m. or noon. Patients can also call 479-2210 for a scheduled sick call appointment slot.
Annual exam and cleaning appointments are provided once a year for active duty and family members and they do not have to be during the sponsor’s birth month.
All specialty care must be screened by a general dentist before referral. This may involve an evaluation appointment.
Family members also have the option of seeking care on the economy with the United Concordia dental program. Using this program will give the individual the ability to schedule two cleanings and exams a year with no out of pocket expense, and the flexibility to choose their own time frames.
This program also covers more of the co-pay on orthodontics (braces) than in the United States.
Broken appointments reduce access to care and are expensive to everyone in our community. Emergencies and special needs may require cancellation of an appointment; cancellations should be done at least 24 hours in advance, so the slot may be offered to another. For further needs contact the dental clinic at 479-2210.
