Overview

Dental Specialty officers take assignments in administrative, clinical, operational, or education and academic career tracks. Following an initial AEGD, GPR, or credentialing tour, they can move into an operational assignment, and many pursue specialization through clinical residency training.

Notes & Sources

  • NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 220X as: “A Dental Corps Officer”
  • The paired billet row (2200) is “requiring Dental specialty”. a billet requirement, not a qualification conferred on every 220X officer.
  • The designator row is an identity/qualification statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; duties depend on the billet and community qualification.
