The Royal Army Dental Corps (RADC) was a specialist corps in the British Army that provided dental health services to British Army personnel and their families in war and in peace.
The corps was awarded the "royal" prefix to become the Royal Army Dental Corps in November 1946 in recognition of its service in the Second World War.
In November 2024, the corps was amalgamated with the Royal Army Medical Corps and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps to form the Royal Army Medical Service.
