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.

What about hearing loss and hearing aid benefits? Many vets suffer hearing loss from combat . Do they have this benefit or not!
and the VA promises you all these benefits when you have served your country and when you become an old man … the VA in Montgomery tells you have to be destitute to get anything and oh yeah you didn’t know that you were suppose to sign a paper before 2003 to get your benefits but since you didn’t sign the paper you forfeit everything … classic bate and switch
Never have covered dental.
We all know who was the head of that. WELL, WE WON’T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH YOU MUCH LONGER, Hussein. You should hang your head in shame for your treatment of our precious military.
This is, in fact, true. As a veteran I can personally attest to it.
They do cover Dental and Oral, but only a certain percentage of injury, usually at least starting for mild care at 65%.. It’s still a bunch of BS. All veterans should have full coverage.
Americans need to get their heads out of their butts and pay attention as to how this government has treated our veterans! Obama hates our military!
Give them a health plan like our congress persons have voted for themselves!
Vets deserve some kind of dental service !!
I pray with the new Congress your treatment will be much better. Thank you for your Service.
