Will I be able to start using it in bct (basic training). I have a few cavities that I wish to fill as soon as I can. So, my question asks if I can start using my dental insurance at bct? Thanks.

Best thing for you to do is to have them fixed now , before you enlist as they don’t use ins. All branches of the military have their own dentists as well as doctors. Ins not needed.
Yes, if you have dental needs in boot camp you go to the dentist. You don’t pay medical or dental insurance for yourself, just for your dependents. Your treatment is free.
I disagree with Rock, let the Army fix you up. Why come out of pocket with the $$ to fix your teeth prior to going to basic where they will fix them for free? There is no insurance for you while active duty, it’s all taken care of by the service, ins doesn”t come into play until you have dependents
you will get your teth checked upon arrival at bct
I am at ATI at fort gordon GA, In basic you will se a dentist but will probably not have any work done until you are at AIT. I have had 14 class three teeth, which means I can’t deployed until they are taken care of, I am now down to fixing the last one.
You will have a dental inspection in boot camp. Fixing them is free and it will be done by a military dentist. Hopefully, they have gotten better since when I was in. I had all work done in the military redone after I was discharged due to bad work practices.
