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.

no but the Congress and Senate are covered. What the hell did these folks due to get this care ? Screwing the tax payers again
WHY NOT????????
carol they do open their mouth, all the time. I have a son with 4 tours in afghan and he is not shy about opening his mouth here. the va doesn’t give a two hoots about what you say like Obama doesn’t care what the congress or the people say. what anyone gets depends on what Obama wants them to have and they are getting nothing but c**p . people sound off online so the congress knows, but guess what , nothing happens. fact is that many people in America have gotten so complacent and wrapped in themselves they have taken our vets as just something part of everyday life, so get over it. as americans we have let the dems take away our values, morals and ethics and sense of caring for others. all thanks to this piece of garbage sitting in the white house.
They deserve everything the rest are getting and then some. I am talking about he ones that have their hands out and have not given back. Look at these service men and women, would any of us trade a day with them? Most likely not and for obvious reasons. And those obvious reasons are what made this country great. And that is the sacrifice these young people of given. God Bless them and thanks for your service. And now it is time for us to RETURN THE FAVOR!
Why??
but the illegals and the Muslims, I bet get Dental care etc for FREE
so true
sad but true
If the oral disability was a service connected disability it should be covered
not shocking,anything gov does anymore ends the same
