TRICARE Dental Program

The TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) is a premium-based, worldwide dental insurance plan that you or your family members may purchase.

Family members may enroll in the TDP at any time, regardless of your duty status. The plan offers continuous coverage when your status changes—from inactive duty to active duty and back again. Family members will pay reduced monthly premiums when you are activated.

Note: Active duty family members enrolled in the TDP in overseas areas must submit a Non-Availability Referral Form (NARF) before obtaining dental implants or orthodontic care from a host-nation provider.

For more information, call 1-800-866-8499 (CONUS, toll-free), 1-888-418-0466 (OCONUS, toll-free), or 1-717-975-5017 (OCONUS, not toll-free ), or visit the TRICARE Dental Web Site.

If you are already enrolled in the TDP, refer to the TRICARE Dental Program Benefit Booklet for specific coverage, cost, and administrative details.
