AFAS provides Dental Care Assistance for Airmen, Guardians, and their families. Financial assistance may be provided when an Airman or Guardian does not have sufficient funds to cover dependent dental care payments required in advance, or a patient’s share of charges not covered by insurance. • Assistance is considered for emergency or essential care, but not for purely cosmetic care. • AFAS can help with required orthodontics care. Assistance is normally given for the down payment and the member can work out a payment plan with the dentist. • Dental assistance is not normally authorized for dependents of members who dis-enroll from the government provided insurance program. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact us or submit an application online at https://bit.ly/3XZFBzM.
