Navy Dental Care - FY 1958

In addition, dental care w^as provided to personnel in many areas of the United States where no permanent dental facilities are available by dental officers attached to the Navy mobile dental units. Approximately eight million dental examinations, treatments, and operations were accormplished in all branches of dentistry except orthodontics for military personnel and their dependents.

Fiscal Year 1958 was the first complete fiscal year in which dependents outside the continental limits of the United States and at specifically designated "remote areas" within the continental limits of the United States received dental care under the Dependents' Medical Care Act. During this period, some three hundred and thirty thousand dental procedures were accomplished for approximately ninety thousand dependents.
