While on TDY can I utilize another installations dental?

Temporary crown broke off my tooth last night and the pain is pretty bad. There’s zero emergency dentists around Polk but, I’ll be TDY to Sam Houston tomorrow. While I’m there can I go to the dentist?

Last time I did dental on FT Sam they had dental sick call in the morning. If you cannot get in there, maybe BAMC or I know University (non-military) has a dentist associated with their ER.

I've just stumbled upon this thread from a year ago and read about your temporary crown breaking off and the pain you were going through. Ouch, that must have been tough, especially when there were no emergency dentists around Polk. As for utilizing another installation's dental services while you were TDY at Sam Houston, it's worth checking with them to see if they allow visitors to access their dental care. Policies and availability can vary, so it's best to inquire directly. If you were still in need of dental solutions and information, you could have checked out https://eastvillagedental.ca/. They might have provided helpful insights and options for you.
