Do veterans still get dental insurance for a few months after discharged?

I heard I get dental insurance for 180 days or something after discharged. is this true?
--------------------
You get TAMP not sure if it covers dental you would have to call and find out. The four categories for TAMP are: § Members involuntarily separated from active duty and their eligible family members; § National Guard and Reserve members, collectively known as the Reserve Component (RC), separated from active duty after being called up or ordered in support of a contingency operation for an active duty period of more than 30 days and their family members; § Members separated from active duty after being involuntarily retained in support of a contingency operation and their family members; and § Members separated from active duty following a voluntary agreement to stay on active duty for less than one year in support of a contingency mission and their family members. Active duty sponsors and family members enrolled in TRICARE Prime who desire to continue their enrollment upon the sponsor's separation from active duty status are required to reenroll. To reenroll in TRICARE Prime, the sponsor or family member must complete and submit a TRICARE Prime enrollment application. Under TAMP, former active duty sponsors, former activated reservists, and family members of both are not eligible to enroll or reenroll in TRICARE Prime Remote or in TRICARE Prime Remote for Active Duty Family Members because both programs require the sponsor to be on active duty. Under the TAMP, the sponsor is no longer on active duty and is treated as an active duty family member for benefits and cost sharing purposes.
