Dental Corps SharePoint
The Dental Readiness Division SharePoint is a valuable resource for information related to operations within the Dental Corps and the dental clinic. On the SharePoint you can find DENTAC and regional command rosters; ICTL training resources and trackers; GDE information including the LTHET, short courses, and CERP; policies; upcoming Dental Corps events, and MHS Genesis resources and tip sheets. The Dental SharePoint is great place to start whenever you have an Army Dental question or concern.
