Notes & Sources
- X2 (Preventive Dentistry) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: Office of The Surgeon General (OTSG)), not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions requiring Soldiers qualified to perform reversible restorative dental procedures and oral hygiene prophylactic procedures, to implement individual and group oral disease control programs." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete the Preventive Dentistry Course, U.S." Restrictions: "For use with MOS 68E (SGT and below) only." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
