Walk-in Readiness Exams (DRC4/RED Servicemembers ONLY)

Walk-in dental readiness exams are intended to address access to care issues, however, it is still the primary responsibility of the servicemember to proactively schedule readiness appointments prior to their exam expirations dates. It is highly advised to contact the dental clinic to schedule an exam at least 30 days prior to the annual exam due date. Due to high demand, exam slots are limited and are treated on a first-come, first-served basis. Prolonged wait times may be experienced. The following outlines eligibility criteria for walk-in exams:
 
Active Duty (COMPO 1) Walk-in Exams: 1^st-3^rd (or 4^th if there are 5 Wednesdays) Wednesdays; Noon-2:30 p.m.
Activated COMPO 2/3 Walk-in Exams: 4^th (or 5^th) Wednesdays; Noon-2:30 p.m.
Additional 2025 Activated COMPO 2/3 Walk-in Exams on select Fridays as follows (8:45 a.m.-10:30 a.m.):

• SEPTEMBER: 26
• OCTOBER: 17, 24, 31
• NOVEMBER: 7, 14, 21
• DECEMBER 5, 12 

COMPO 2/3 not on activated orders may still receive dental readiness exams, which must be scheduled in advance. Service Members must be on activated orders for greater than 30 days to be eligible to receive routine dental care (cleanings, fillings, crowns, etc.). Treatment is not guaranteed and is dependent of activation period and Jordan Dental Clinic access to care availability.
