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.

this is a disgrace , how dare they disrespect these military heroes. Maybe if they would get rid of the millions of illegal free loaders gov. Could take a look a TRUE AMERICANS NEEDS who were willing to give their time, their lives, their bodies. let’s see what REPUBLICANS DO TO MAKE CHANGES AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!
My girls dad just had his teeth removed and dentures made and it was 100% covered
Vets are covered but only if they have 100 % service related disability –
this is a disgrace taking care of all the illegal criminals and not our vets
All veterans who use the VA for health care know that there are only a few categories who are eligible for dental care. This is nothing new.
From what I understand you will only get Dental assistants if you were a Prisoner of War.
Gee what the civilians don’t know about the VA services and which ones we get………
What care are illegals eligible for ?
