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.

Why even fight n risk ur life for a country that doesn’t care about u SMH…
Pathetic. It brings tears to see our menboys like this. They should get anything they need medically.
BUT, illegals are covered for EVERYTHING……BILLIONS of dollars for the TAKERS, nothing for the givers..!!!
WHAT!!!!!
I AM A VET ,ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS, THEY COVER VERY LITTLE, THE ONLY TIME THEY WILL SEE U IS IF UR LIVING IN A BOX–IN THEIR WAITING ROOM:-) 🙂
Say what?
And neither does most health care packages it’s separate.
Va doesn’t offer dental unless you are 100%
That’s why there are so many vets rated under 100 because va doesn’t want to give us vets full benefits.
Between my 3 disabilities I’m 70,20,10 how the hell is that not 100???????
