Major dental procedures such as root canals, crowns and bridgework are not covered by this plan. This program is only available to Selected Reservists of the Uniformed Services.
Reservists pay a nominal monthly premium through payroll deductions.
Civilian dentists provide the dental care. A list of preferred suppliers, which offer their services at attractive rates, is available. Either the dentist or the Guardsman who receives the dental care can file claims. A civilian contractor manages TSRP for the Department of Defense. Guardsmen must enroll for a minimum of one year and have at least 12 months of Selected Reserve duty remaining to be able to participate in the program.
