Dental The delivery of dental care on board a carrier the size of George Washington presents many new and exciting challenges. Keeping the ship’s dental readiness up to (and exceeding) standards requires that the 18 staff personnel of the department demonstrate some truly innovative thinking and scheduling, while retaining the sincere desire to provide the best dental treatment to the 5,500 Sailors and Marines who make up the patient population. Since other ships in the Battle Group had no dental facilities, GW’s dental team extended these services to them also. As you might imagine. the demand was incredible, and the range of treatment requirements rivaled that of a much larger facility. Procedures performed included oral surgery (tooth extractions), endodontics (root canals), simple and complex fillings, pros-thodontics (tooth replacements), and simple and complex cleanings. The Dental Department is built upon a solid foundation of motivated and talented individuals. Team spirit, hard work and dedication to provide the finest dental services are always reflected in the way they do business. 366 DENTAL
