In light of the recent scandals concerning the VA’s mishandling of our veterans, another unfortunate secret emerged: most of America’s veterans receive zero dental benefits or oral care from the VA.
Dr. Charles Zahedi, the founder and Clinical Director of the not-for-profit organization, Dentists for Veterans, is the very first dentist in United States to have started a pilot program to conduct a nationwide study and initiative to precisely assess the feasibility and advisability of furnishing dental care to veterans under section 1705 of title 38, United States Code, who are not eligible for dental services and treatment.
By carrying out this pilot program, Dentists for Veterans will enable the Veterans Administration to better specify performance standards and metrics and processes for ensuring compliance with the hopes that these will one day be funded by federally-directed dental treatment programs. In addition, by executing this program, Dentists for Veterans will be able to rapidly identify those veterans who are completely orally disabled.
Until that funding is secured, Dentists for Veterans is rallying patriotic Americans to donate a minimum of $25 to build and furnish mobile dental facilities that will drive around America and treat veterans who lack the funds and means to get proper dental care.

People on welfare get better care than our Veterans :-(.
After reverting to reserve status after operation desert storm, I was refused a dental procedure by the Va chief of dental that I was told by army dentists that I needed because “the war didn’t last long enough”
no they do not and they allow illegals to have all dental tax free food stamps if a vet ask for help he is told cant supplement your income
I AM A DISABLED SENIOR AND I DO NOT GET DENTAL CARE EITHER, WE HAVE LOST OTHER COSTS THAT USED TO BE COVERED!! OUR VETS SHOULD GET IT THOUGH!
Illegals get it free with Medicaid

These navy army recruiters don’t tell the the cons, the the few pros, but we waste trillions on feeding other country, these people should have the best care. For what they have to do for these country.
This is just horrible…these heroes sacrificed for America and this is what they get…….this President should hang his head in shame
They never have, unless a vet was a POW
But the president has a hot line for illegals. Really? disgusting.
