Dental Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering your time and skills can easily improve the lives of our veterans. 
​The VA provides dental care exclusively to veterans with a 100% disability rating, former POWs, or other limited conditions. This leaves millions of veterans with chronically poor dental health, living every day with pain and infection. This leads to a declined state of systemic health, depression, and low self-esteem.
 
Providing dental care, building trust, and showing we care is a very tangible way of saying, “Thank you for your service!” The free dentistry that you and your staff provide can be more therapeutic than you can imagine! By providing dental care in the convenience of your office, for one participant a year, you are improving the quality of life for veterans and their families. The goal of this program is to eliminate inflammation and infections and establish the adequate function, and adequate esthetics for our nation’s heroes. 

Who we serve

Veterans who comply with all first three items:

1. Honorable discharge after completing at  least one enlistment period
2. Experiencing financial hardship
3. Limited or no dental insurance
4. Spouses of eligible veterans

Where and when

In the comfort of your office. No need to take time off.  Accommodate in your schedule at your convenience. 

Why we help

1) We have a volunteer military now. Less than 1% of our population is taking up this responsibility. This is our opportunity to give back and serve those who’ve served, regardless of which war.

2) There is a significant amount of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) due to the multiple deployments, and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injuries) as our equipment is protective—but result in significant brain damage.

3) Suicide is rampant. For some veterans, trying to adjust back to a normal life can be a tougher battle than being at war. There are 22 veteran suicides everyday in this country.

4) Providing dental care, building trust, and showing we care is a very tangible and honorable way of saying, “Thank you for your service!” This free dentistry that you and your staff provide is more therapeutic than you can imagine! ​

What types of treatment

General dentistry procedures as you see fit. We emphasize treatment to be comprehensive, to break the cycle of continually putting out fires. It doesn’t have to be Cadillac treatment, e.g. if some extractions were done, a partial denture would be important to prevent tipping and provide adequate function. Some dentists have done bridges or implants and those, of course, are welcomed. Feel free to invite your specialists and labs to participate in the treatment.

How you can help establish dental health

1. Eliminate inflammation and infections
2. Establish adequate function
3. Establish adequate esthetics

A sustainable dental program for the veterans

​These veterans can continue to be regular paying patients in the future. We encourage them to save and plan to pay for future maintenance and care, with the normal doctor/patient relationship.
