DENTISTS

Treating Patients, The only bottom line

As an officer in the Army Dental Corps, you’ll spend time doing what you care about most — directly treating patients. You won’t have to worry about starting a practice, establishing a patient base, hiring staff or purchasing equipment because you’ll already be part of one of the best worldwide dental networks around.

A U.S. Army dentist does much more than practice in one area of dentistry. As an officer and a dentist, you may have the opportunity to advance your education in areas such as oral surgery, prosthodontics, endodontics, periodontics and orthodontics.

You will work with other dedicated dental professionals, consult board-certified specialists and possibly participate in important dental research.

In addition to a generous benefits package, you will have the opportunity to pursue your education through continuing education courses, seminars and conferences.

You can decide either to serve full time as an officer on active duty or maintain your practice in your community and serve as needed with the Army Reserve. Either way, becoming a U.S. Army dentist gives you a cumulative experience you can’t match anywhere in the private sector. And that’s part of a philosophy of the U.S. Army.

Helping others. Serving your country. Practicing your specialty. No other health care program can match the opportunities you’ll have or the professional experience you’ll gain in the Army Dental Corps.

To find out more about becoming a U.S. Army dentist, contact a recruiter.

MAJOR MICHELE PAWLOWICZ - GENERAL DENTIST (RESERVE)

Its Amazing

My name is Maj. Michele Pawlowicz. I am a dentist in the Army Reserve.

As an Army Reserve Dentist, it's nice because you don't have to worry about the Soldier's ability to pay the bill or insurances. It gets me to concentrate on dentistry.

There's amazing technologies that are at our fingertips here. Where, you can't always have those in a private practice. You don't have the monies or funding for it. So it's nice.

My husband is very supportive of me being in the Army Reserve - especially since I can get him health care insurance.

When I'm not practicing dentistry or being a mom, I like to golf, I like to swim, I like to hang out with my family. And we like to do things outside, we like to fish and feed the geese and take walks in the woods and fly kites, blow bubbles.

I would encourage any physician or dentist that was slightly interested in the Reserve to join the Reserve. It's amazing, the rewards are endless. The fulfillment is indescribable.
