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.

the va seems to be killing off the one segment of the population shown to have the courage to support and defend THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA….
Doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve waited a month to have an appointment set up in order to make an appointment
why if they serve during time of war they should receive dental, at least that is the way it has been.
Very right about that .
They should have everything they need covered. If they were criminals in prision they would receive better benefits. That is just WRONG!
Our vets should have coverage they earned it.
They should have bettrr health care than this useless congress
If you are 100% you are covered by Free Dental. The rest is like all other services, if Service connected, free and if not Co pay.
Why the not
Yes and for those that are handicapped it is stupid, because bad dental health will effect the whole body.
