I participated in an Ambassador program on behalf of Influence Central for the MetLife TRICARE Detal Program. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

We just celebrated National Military Family Appreciation Month in November.  What a better month to celebrate the Military than with the month of Thanksgiving.  When Terence and I first started our married life together we were in the Air Force.  We lived on base for over five years.  Our military memories are some of the best times.

Being a newly married couple and not having much money it was hard to make ends meet sometimes.  We had our struggles just like everyone else does.  One thing we could rely on was that we had full medical and dental care with TRICARE.  Health care is expensive and when we got out of the service that was HUGE realization for us!

I remember visiting the dentist one day and he said I would need a retainer.  Thankfully I had TRICARE Dental and my retainer was completely covered.  I think it would have been around $400-$500 if I hadn’t been ensured with TRICARE.

TRICARE Dental Program offered by MetLife is a great program that provides dental benefits to spouses and children of Active Duty personnel and National Guard and Reserve members and their families.  The TRICARE Dental Program is ideal for military families because it is a convenient and cost-effective way for families to have continuous dental coverage despite changes in life events, geographical locations, or military status.

Now that we have a son healthy teeth are very important to us.  I actually took him to the Dentist yesterday and he did so good!  It’s important for us to teach him good dental habits now so that he doesn’t have issues with his teeth later.  I’m in my 30’s now and I’m happy to say I’ve never had a cavity in my life thanks to great dental care!  *Knock on wood!*

My Dad was also in the Army for 11 years, so I basically grew up on military bases and I always remember getting great dental care.  I’m so thankful for all that TRICARE has done for us and other military families.  If you are currently in the military & have TRICARE Dental I’d love to hear what you think about it.

The TRICARE Dental Program is part of the TRICARE Health Plan for military families. However, you must enroll separately in the TRICARE Dental Program to obtain dental coverage for your family.
