Summary
Claims data were used to assess child utilization of the TRICARE Dental Program for a dental check-up at least once during a period of a year. The majority of children enrolled in the TRICARE Dental Program had at least one dental check-up during the study year. Children of officers and warrant officers had significantly higher odds of utilizing TRICARE Dental Program than children of enlisted rank families.
