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.

Im a vet and I get no help I didnt even get my 50k for college or any of my g.I. bill!!!! Served my country and this is the $#%&!@*ing thanks I get!!!
or for glasses either. and don’t cover their wives either and they go through hell when the Veterans are gone from their lives. They don’t think about any of that.
it should cover ever thing they worked hard for it
no the illegals get that
These men and woman should be of top priority. Appropriations and funds should be automatically figured into the defense budget. Sickens me to see the way our veterans and even active members get treated especially under this horrible administration we are currently under.
No we have to pay for dental insurance like everyone else and pay what it doesn’t cover.
That’s not a shock to me.
it’s WRONG!!!
That needs to change ASAP, for anyone and Eye Care too. You have to be 100 % to get this!
NO $#%&!@*>>>>> I am taking meds that they prescribe that are $#%&!@*ing rotting my teeth out like mad crazy and they will do nothing to help me fight against it.
