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.

My husband is 70% disable and the VA has him going thru hoops. Until I step in…one Dr. Asked him if his wife is coming in with him….they do not like to see me! Long story but thankful I have him with me…44 yrs
Bull$#%&!@*! They just did major dental work at the VA outpatient clinic in LA for my buddy. No service related injury!
They have never covered dental care, and never said they would.
And the budget shortcoming has NOTHING TO DO WITH immigrants. It’s the huge no bid contacts for illegal wars for profit and tax breaks for the rich that are the problem!
I’m looking at their work right now.
I’m a Vet I know!
