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.

During TDY (temporary duty), you can often use dental services at another military installation. It's best to check the specific policies of the installation you’re visiting, as they can vary.
