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.

Helloo !!! Vets to the end of the line! that is for illegal aliens only!

Well if they were illegal immigrants they would I get so upset the way our Veterans are treated . We own our Veterans everything . Please Vote in November . Read about the candidates and see what they really stand for it is time we American put our COUNTRY back on track.
WHY didn’t we all learn our lessons after Vietnam?! How did we slip so deeply back under the black magic, death cult spell?!
Actually, VA does cover dental care and oral disabilities for veterans who are rated 100% disabled. Those of us with lesser percentages a just out of luck and on our own to buy dental care in the private sector if we can afford it. A large number of us end up with false teeth that are far cheaper than dental care.
I think that should be inclusive for all vets!!
I’ve seen this and it is so sad
