General Information

We are an eight-chair dental clinic located inside the Fox Army Health Center, Building 4100 Goss Road on Redstone Arsenal. We are primarily an appointment driven active duty clinic open to our active duty patients within the surrounding 50 miles. We provide various dental treatments, including examinations, fillings, cleanings, oral surgery, endodontics (root canals), and prosthodontics (crown and bridge). Our continued focus is to prepare our Soldiers for worldwide deployment.

We see service members in Active Duty status on sick call for a variety of symptoms, including but not limited to: toothache, broken or chipped tooth, lost filling, sensitivity, and jaw (TMJ) pain. Please call for an appointment at (256)876-5200. We will try our best to accommodate “walk-ins” that are experiencing dental pain or discomfort.

Emergency Care

After hours emergency care is NOT available at the Redstone Arsenal Dental Clinic. Be advised that TRICARE Dental Remote will NOT reimburse you for dental care provided by civilian dentists unless it is pre-authorized. Problems such as chipped teeth and fillings are not considered dental emergencies. These should wait until the next duty day. You may call the Nurse Advice Line 24/7 at (800)TRICARE, option 1 for any questions you might have.

Active Duty Personnel

Active duty personnel who both live and work more than 50 miles away are outside of our catchment area. There is a dental program for you to see a civilian dentist through TRICARE Remote. Go to their website at Active Duty Dental Program. External Link, Opens in New Window, and select Active Duty Service Member, Active Guard reserve; or call their office at (866)984-2337.

Spouses and Children of Active Duty Personnel

Spouses and children of active duty personnel who are ID card eligible have their own dental insurance program - the TRICARE Dental Program.  There are over 60 dentists currently in the Huntsville, Madison, and Madison County area who are participating providers in various specialties. Come by the Dental Clinic for a list of dentists and benefits coverage booklet or contact the contracted insurance company, United Concordia, directly at (844)653-4061 or go to their website for information at https://uccitdp.com.
