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.

Yeah, why join only to be treated this way, no honor shown here.
only illegals, muslims included
well I do not know about other vets but I was taken care of by v.a. for dental … now it took forever but they finally got me taken care of
No surprise there as Medicare doesn’t take care of seniors dental needs. What they don’t realize is that people with heart problems need their dental needs taken care of as they are just as importing to their health as the basic medical needs.

That money is set aside for illegal aliens/future dumbocrats.
Yeah, even if the military leaves you without most of your teeth, it almost takes an act of congress to have the VA give you dental care! 🙁
When I was in Vietnam during a fire fight I was hit in the mouth with a M-50 machine gun barrel. It cracked my front tooth so they sent me to a hospital where a dentist put a temporary cap on it and I’ve had it worked on three time and I tried to get the VA to help but they couldn’t find any records of it. I know they didn’t put out much effort and I didn’t figure they would.
This is so sad ,,,,,,They can send money to other countries but they can’t give our Vet’s dental care this is so wrong !
One more filthy, worthless government agency. Screwing the most deserving in this country.
