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.

That’s a lie. It depends of course on your disability and your rating, but it IS covered for most vets…
I’m tired of hearing all these negative comments. I hear 90% GOOD reports on a daily basis then all these bad com
Cosmetics; I had my teeth loosened by a land mine blast in Vietnam in 67, I went to the V.A. hospital in 1990 and had them pulled out, best damn dentist I ever had, he was good, any way the could not give me dentures because they were cosmetics, and were not covered, But he was really a very good dentist.
BUT., illegals are covered 100% by our system…..and nothing has changed since the truth came out.because the dems like it this way.
but of course, they get better treatment than most Americans
I know that. I finally gave up trying to get appointments with the VA.
Ok let do this: Give our vets the medical,Dental and vision care given to the illegals and give the illegals the VA.
that sounds good to me
