Active duty service members usually receive all dental care from military dental treatment facilities. If enrolled in TRICARE Prime Remote, you are automatically covered by the Tri-Service Remote Dental Program, administered by the Military Medical Support Office (MMSO). More information about active duty dental benefits is available at TRICARE's Dental portal or in the TRICARE Prime Handbook or the TRICARE Prime Remote Handbook.

For all other beneficiaries, TRICARE offers two dental programs—the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) and the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP). Each program is administered by a separate dental contractor and has its own monthly premiums and cost-shares.
