Important Information
Dental emergencies experienced after duty hours should report to the nearest emergency room or call 911. A serious dental emergency is defined as swelling, trauma to the head and neck region, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty swallowing/breathing, or excruciating pain. Please note, there are NO afterhours emergency services on Fort Knox.
Walk-in Readiness Exams
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.
NEW: Walk-in Wednesdays have moved to Building 2020 (SRP Site) and will be held in conjunction with MEDDAC’s Medical Readiness Clinics. All Army components are welcome to attend.
