I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf on Influence Central for the MetLife TRICARE Dental Program. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
A lot of people have asked me how I can "Do it all" while Mostly Together Dad is away, serving our country. In truth, it's not always easy, but you tend to find a routine, which makes the days go by. It helps that you still have to do all the same stuff as before: school, work, clean the house, take the kids to the doctor and dentist, church and after-school activities, but added to that is an immense amount of worry.
You worry about how your spouse is faring in a country far from what they are used to. You worry about their health, safety, and their emotional well-being (it's hard for them to be away from their family, too!). You worry about the kids and how they are handling the whole situation. It's a lot of pressure and a ton of stress. One thing that's a huge blessing to not have to worry about is your families health.
TRICARE takes great care of military families and it's easy to use. Likewise, TRICARE Dental (separate enrollment from TRICARE Health) eases the stress of finding a dentist, as it has one of the largest civilian dental networks with over 250,000 dental locations. That means that it's easy to find someone to take care of you when you travel to see family or when moving locations altogether.
While there are many great things about TRICARE Dental, perhaps my favorite is the fact that it's so reasonably priced. A family with an active duty service member would only pay $33.88 per month. That's just over a dollar per day and it includes the entire family!
The TRICARE Dental Program has a dedicated staff, who make it their mission to educate members about dental health and important dental practices. You can connect with them on Facebook and sign up for the Dental HealthMatters newsletter to stay informed of all the great things happening with TRICARE.
