Dental Readiness Assessment for National Guard/Reserve

The Department of Defense (DoD) [Health Affairs] Policy #01-025 has directed the uniformed services to ensure all members of the National Guard/Reserve undergo an annual dental examination. The DD Form 2813, DoD Active Duty/Reserve Forces Dental Examination, will be used to assist the TDP-enrolled National Guard/Reserve forces in documenting member dental health.

TDP participating dentists will complete the DD Form 2813 at no additional cost to TDP enrollees. The National Guard/Reserve member is responsible for obtaining the examination, providing the form to the dentist, and reporting the result to his or her service branch. The DD Form 2813 is available for download in the Forms/Materials section of this Web site. National Guard/Reserve members are encouraged to contact their service branch representative to determine their service-specific requirements for this document before scheduling their annual dental examination.
