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.

@ Raven Black….First off….. Obama is a Christian…..second……Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America …. known around the world circles at the moment as ”the finest leader to come out of America in recent times” ….. not many leaders in the world can boast of that accolade right now …. especially not Natanyahu !
They should
as i well know….the insurance policy I bought through the VA and I think Met life,,,is worthless,,,I had a rate increase after 6 months and I have never used the plan because it is half and half for a year….I cannot afford that much
Unless they have 100% disability
I blame Obama for the wars. He has been sending soldiers to fight in the middle east for the past six years. Can’t really blame Bush anymore.
The politicians should take a cut in pay in-order to accommodate our veterans for quality care… what ever they need! Cut the welfare and give it to the veterans! Billions have gone to our enemies and our service men and women are forgotten by our president!
Unless you have 100 % disability
even with a 100% they try so hard to not help , an the mistakes they make , a dental school might be better , but then in my journey there are good ones , ppl do not care anymore where is the heart in it the pride
@ Dan…. that is some of the many things Obama does to protect and please Israel……and still you racist ingrates wont stop HATING the African American President of the United States….. you mother$#%&!@*ers really suck !
I was at 86% when they said I had the very limited dental care. So they got me back in there for a recheck. Every thing was the same as when got 86% but they kept the money the same lowered the % so I lost the dental care..
