Each of these had a total of 4 dental officers and an unknown number of other personnel (dental assistants, dental hygienists, clerks, etc.). The total number of the small dental clinics ranged from approximately 39 to 59 during the war. None of them is known to have received its own Feldpost number so they were probably attached to Luftwaffe hospitals, field hospitals and base dispensaries. Those identified are:
