What is Dental Readiness?

Dental Readiness is determined by how much or what type of dental treatment you need or may require. This is broken down into four dental readiness categories:
  • Dental Readiness Class 1 (DRC 1) -- Congratulations! Administratively, your dental record is current and all of your dental treatment is complete. Make sure to schedule a dental exam every 12 months.  If you aren’t sure when you had your last dental exam, log into your MEDPROS to find out.
  • Dental Readiness Class 2 (DRC 2) -- Your record is administratively current, but you have dental conditions for which we strongly recommend you schedule routine care (crowns, fillings, etc.). These conditions are unlikely to result in a dental emergency within 12 months.
  • Dental Readiness Class 3 (DRC 3) -- You need our help and immediate attention! You require treatment to correct dental conditions that are likely to cause a dental emergency within 12 months. Examples of such include large cavities that need fillings, root canal treatment, problematic wisdom teeth that need to be extracted, etc. Make an appointment immediately!
  • Dental Readiness Class 4 (DRC 4) -- You require a dental examination or do not have a dental record. Hence we are not able to validate your true dental readiness. Correct this deficiency today

Dental Readiness Class 3 or 4 places you in a "non-medically ready" category. Please contact us immediately to remedy this situation. Remember- dental readiness is a key component of Soldier readiness and total body wellness. Let us help you maintain yourself in the best possible health!
To check your medical readiness, log into your MEDPROS.

Make a dental appointment by calling the Saunders Dental Clinic at 845-938-3121.
