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.

Very true
CLOSE OUR BORDERS
True but so wrong
But ILLEGALS DO!
So sorry to hear
that problem comes down from the top of our government and some of the cronies under his “leadership”. OUR vets need to be taken care of because they were fighting to preserve our democracy.
Terrible isn’t it?!!
IF CORRECTIVE DENTAL CARE IS CALLED FOR, IT CERTAINLY SHOULD BE COVERED, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS PART OF A DISABILITY. OTHER THAN THET, VERY FEW INSURANCE COVERS DENTAL WORK, PARTLY BECAUSE SO MUCH IS ELECTIVE.
WHO DOES !!!
Why? Yhis is WRONG.
