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.

But Illegals get covered
Your Teeth are just as important for your health and well being. PLEASE START TAKING CARE of this matter
Very aware. I had a tooth drilled on my last year in service, not long after discharge it cracked. I’m 60% disable and now I’m putting out 2k for a root canal n the VA won’t cover a kick of it
This is criminal; Obama pays for illegals to have free healthcare, dental, housing, jobs (if they want to work), and income if they don’t, but deny our military the basic healthcare.
THIS IS VERY WRONG ! WE NEED AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT !!!!!
Heck even if you have dental insurance it doesn’t pay much at all! Especially if you have problems, you need to take out a mortgage on your home to pay for the c**p! It should be included in health insurance if you ask my opinion!
This is horrible and needs to be changed now!
Dental is provided while active and they allow dental when you first get out of the military. Better than if you leave a civilian job. Your benefits are terminated
That’s a fact Jack….
But ILLEGALS get everything that veterans are denied.
