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 true in the military you can get a Art-15 for missing a appointment and you get out they don’t care if they fall out
This ridiculous from our government but wait look who is head of the government
Well you do realize, that kind of benefit would qualify as austerity under your beloved GOP. Who are responsible for this FYI
If it wasn’t for my coverage, my husband wouldn’t have dental benefits. No eye benefits, either. Eight month wait to see an optometrist at the VA, too. Put him on MY coverage, and he had an exam and new glasses all within a month!!
OBAMA IS MORE CONCERNED WITH HELPING THE ILLEGALS
Thus may not be a popular comment, but it’s my opinion.
While a soldier is enlisted their dental should be provided. If they have any problems as a result of their service it should always be taken care of. Now, with that being said, I don’t think dental care should be provided free of charge forever. People only need dental care because of a lack of brushing and flossing. With daily proper cleaning, you don’t need dental care. I go once a year for a cleaning, and it costs me around $75. There are more important health issues money for veterans can be put towards other than dental. People should be held responsible for their own poor dental health due to lack of brushing and flossing.
Yet we have billions to send to the UN.
Yes he is 100% If u don’t have a service connected injury ur not entitled To any medical care by the VA
That is sad. Obama refuses to help our Vet’s, with things like dental and oral health insurance. Yet he gives his illegals anything they want or need.
Disgraceful.
