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.

They should have that coverage. You give it to Democrats who do not work for the money and Bonus extras they get for life.
Very hard to see this & not get pissed off. I’m on Medicare AND Medicaid, been on it since I was 23 because of Diabetes, Kidney Failure, Dialysis, my double transplant & I’m legally blind . if they cover me for pretty much everything minus the minimal copays & non-basic procedures, then why the F are they not covering Veterans for everything?!??!? I got all my limbs yet! My hearing, still can see well enough to do everyday things except drive, I’m covered! I don’t get food stamps or welfare, but I got all my medical expenses covered! There’s no way I could afford $2700 a month for my transplant meds, appointments & lab work monthly, so I can’t imagine how burdened the Veterans feel! Brian Shane you got some nerve!
I have a friend who was injured very seriously in Iraq. Michigan’s Vet administration did nothing for him. He had to move to another state where they welcomed him with open arms. He is still healing but he has practically all the help he needs. Mich. would’t give him the Purple Heart buy where he went they gave him the Purple Heart. I even tried talking to Rogers …….nothing.

This is a shame but they gave illegals everything.
That is so wrong in so many ways !
What is your, “most dangerous job in America” Brian? Being a Democrat? Yup. I can see that.
This is no secret! You get dental if you are 100% service connected disabled or retired!
that isn’t right
