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.

Sad.
Take their funds away,and let some other program help them,the no SHAME PARTY…2014 2016
This has been this way forever, you have to have a certain % to get dental care. You guys on the right vote down every economic bill that will help veterans and then you believe B S like it has only happened since Count Chocolate has become president. I’m a two tour Nam vet and I get 50% disability, no dental. Can you imagine what it would cost to insure every veteran, more than the right would ever pay. Also it would be another govt run program, something you all hate.
My husband was a POW and has oral care…
I’ve been in the system over 20 years, VA has never covered dental unless in case of an injury to the mouth or a life threatening disease, Abscess draining etc. it’s in black & white, never was hidden. You just have to be able to read and comprehend
you got that right Bill,most of the promises made to me changed as soon as Regan got in office and thought it was o.k. to change the contract I signed with no recourse,making my service to my country a lie!
