U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Victor Mastley, 18th Dental Squadron certified dental assistant, prepares a patient for dental x-rays Jan. 10, 2020, at Kadena Air Base, Japan. The Kadena Dental Clinic is open for duty, Monday to Friday and has a sick call process built in to address unscheduled patients with dental emergencies. Patients with concerns can walk in and request to be seen. The Kadena Dental team encourages patients to call ahead so the team can properly schedule them according to their dental issue.
