If a Soldier is Dental Class 4, what must occur before deployment?

Dental readiness determines whether a Soldier can deploy without needing immediate dental care. When someone is in Dental Class 4, there are significant, extensive dental issues that must be addressed before deployment. The focus is to complete those treatments so the Soldier is medically ready for field conditions, where dental problems could worsen and cause evacuation or mission disruption. This often involves comprehensive care that brings the individual up to a deployable status, rather than sending them out with unresolved problems. So, the correct approach is to receive extensive dental treatment and be treated before deployment. The other options don’t fit because dental status isn’t resolved by changing MOS, a Class 4 Soldier isn’t automatically deployable, and the status isn’t ignored.
