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.

SO VERY SAD !!
I medically retired in August. Went to the VA once…bought tricare prime after that….I will NEVER go back to the VA. Incompetent and unprofessional…
DIDN’T KNOW THAT
This is not right they deserve it I bet our congress and president and his cabinet. Have dental insurance and any other kind
And this surprises anyone how? They barely cover medical. Example. A VA doctor ordered a MRI on my husband’s shoulder. Said it was important to get it to compare to one done several years ago. Got it done…in October. Never heard a word. My husband finally went on line to see what was. Found the results. Called the next day and asked what the problem was. They did not realize the results were there.
My Dad got dental at the Va in Cleveland, Ohio
Let them pay like anyone else. They’re not special because they couldn’t make it in civilized society. They are society’s loser and shouldn’t be rewarded for that.
Like I said in my other posts. Instead of spending all the money on the illegals it should be put in the Wounded Warriors Project, and into the Veterans Fund to help the Veterans with their needs. Veterans are the ones who came back wounded and suffering from PTSD, and a lot of them faced financial problems on returning as well. Our Veterans are the ones who proudly served to keep out Nation free. We owe them so much more than we could ever repay. ,
But the govt pays 100% for illegals.
Yes. I am aware. I am one of them! Have been paying 100% of mine. Illegals get theirs for free. Obama makes sure of that!
