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 is Disgraceful!! So ashamed of our adminstration, our Heroes shouldn’t have to pay for anything!! Get rid of medicaid and give it to the VETERANS!!
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
Really…how about a Veteran who has a heart attack and lives 108 miles away from a VA Hospital and VA will have nothing to do with him because he cannot wait tilll April to see a VA doctor, Thank Goodness we have TriCare and they said dont worry we will take care of everything……..
That title is false. I did part of my hospital training in a VA dental facility. I live here at Ft. Bragg and the VA has dental facilities. At one point I was seeing VA patients under a program that has since been canceled. Now is the VA efficient at delivering care? Hell no. It is after all socialized medicine. But, to say they don’t offer care is not really true, but it got me to read it didn’t it?
Disgraceful
Bet they cover Obamas Ass though……. Disgraceful !
It would be nice if they would
But I’m sure it covers illegal aliens.
Veterans deserves all the benefits.
Shameful.
