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.

How disgusting that our heroes are treated like they are dispensable
That’s wrong the veterans deserve better they risk their lives for this country,give them full coverage-medical,dental,optical,etc.The government gives illegal aliens full benefits don’t you think that our vets deserve more than the illegal aliens in this country!!!
But they will treat some africans who have the nasties with everything that we have. Screw that. Treat our Soldiers first, then Americans and if there is enough bleach work on them ebola carrying people like the kenyans! Just keep them out of our country.

some one needs to get rid of the idiot one of our veterans is worth more then obamas life
oral problems can cause cancer, but VA does not worry about that until you get it, then you have to wait for a surgery..sometimes for months, or until you die.
Americans are tired of these aliens using up all the social programs that are for Americans they did nothing to deserve them they broke the law for coming across our borders our vets fought for these rights. So please with our new congress please put these issues on the front burners and lets support our own and our vets. Thank You. A taxpayer.
If they were “ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS” it would all be covered.
The Vets should be covered for what ever CARE they need !They put their lives on the line for all of US ! I don’t see them getting much for their service to this country, and it’s disgusting to say the least !!!!
