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.

Why do people even join the military, any more ?
This is shameful
It’s shameful how this government is treating our veterans. God Bless them, they deserve better.
For real? Not even a cleaning?
Yes and Medicare , Medicaid for Adults, and most companies do not offer dental. This is not right. The oral cavity tells you what condition the rest of the body is in and sometimes shows the first signs of an illness.
How can the VA take care of our health if they rule out any part of health care. Our teeth can cause other serious healyh problems and they drill your teeth even when they are not causing any trouble. I know when I served the dental doctor put his probe into some of my teeth and pushed so hard it felt like he would break my jaws before my tooth gave way.
No I did not that’s a shame to for what our Veterans has done for this Country.
No veteran who served our country should ever have to want for medical, dental or emotional care as well educational and financial help
But low-life trash like Michael Brown get it for free?
But our government will support & fund illegals & support & arm terrorists all over the world, this President is the worst in American history & is a disgrace to Freedom & most Americans.
