\"ExchangeDALLAS \u2013 <\/strong>Soldiers, Airmen, retirees and families at Joint Base Langley-Eustis have a reason to smile a little brighter.<\/p>\n

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service opened a DOCS Dental mobile dental office<\/a> at Fort Eustis on July 8. Patients can receive dental services including checkups, X-rays, cleanings, crowns, bridges, orthodontics, oral surgery and more at the mobile office until it is replaced by a permanent location in Bldg. 1527, near the Exchange administrative offices, later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth, including dental health<\/a>, is critical to military readiness and resiliency \u2013 Soldiers and Airmen can\u2019t deploy if they don\u2019t have a clean bill of dental health,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange\u2019s senior enlisted advisor. \u201cBringing the dental office inside the gates makes it easier for service members, retirees and their families to access this vital health service.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Exchange operates permanent dental offices at Forts Irwin, Hood and Stewart\u2014with plans to expand to more installations\u2014but the JBLE location is the first mobile office. The mobile office is housed in a 53-foot-by-34-foot trailer and can serve three patients at a time<\/a>. Tri-Care and most insurances are accepted.<\/p>\n

Increasing health and wellness services is a focus of the Exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be difficult for members of the military community to find time and transportation to get to off-installation medical appointments,\u201d Reyes said. \u201cThe Exchange is aiming to make living a holistically healthy lifestyle easier and more affordable for the nation\u2019s heroes and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n
