I sincerely wish that i did not have to spend so much money from my pocket for my specialised dental treatments in civil if the facilities were available in fauj..except maybe palam dental center or command dental centers there is no lab facility in any fauji dental centers to make high quality crowns and do a root canal..the number of patients is large and infrastructure lacking..i suggest that the system hire specialised dentists from civil in large numbers or empower financially fauji dentists to refer patients to specialised dental clinics for specialised dental treatment like root canal and crown capping..all the officers I met in fauj are taking capping treatment from civil spending money from own pocket..

I am very happy that I am an airforce officer and my father a retired army officer..I have not taken any treatment from base hospital but I had taken my father there to staff surgeon ..the doctors were very cordial and asking to the point questions. .the waiting room is very pleasant with airconditioners effective..blood test was done immediately..however the dental system in fauj needs lot of improvement..I had to spend rs7000 from my pocket for rootcanal and crown capping in civil..dental facilities are primitive and infrastructure and qualified doctors lacking across the country..there is no digital x ray or one day root canal treatment..dental x ray is not done on chair except maybe palam dental center where there is a waiting list of 2 years for braces for children..this put me off and i had to go to civil.si far all my root canal and crown capping treatment i have taken in civil as this facility is not available in fauj..specialised dentistry is with command dental centres which are very few..
