Job Description
This role involves providing essential dental care to members of the U.S. Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Marine Forces Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, National Guard, and Air National Guard during periodic weekend events. Conducting exams, screenings, and comprehensive treatments ensures soldiers maintain deployment-ready status. Using mobile dentistry approaches, the position directly addresses national security through preventive oral health support. Restorative procedures, endodontics, and oral surgery procedures form the core activities in these mobile settings.
DOCS Health specializes in mobile healthcare delivery with over 30 years of experience. The company serves federal, state, and local government clients as well as military institutions by providing high-quality dental services. DOCS Health operates nationwide, focusing on service members' readiness through dedicated events approximately once per month.

Typical tasks include performing dental exams, restorative treatments, endodontic work, and oral surgery using fully-supplied mobile equipment in non-traditional spaces.
