DENTAL SOCIETY PARTNERSHIPS
The VA provides dental care only to veterans with a 100% disability rating, former POWs, and those with certain other conditions. This leaves millions of veterans in chronic pain and poor health, many struggling daily with infection and the systemic effects of untreated dental issues, leading to declining health, depression, and low self-esteem.
For these veterans, even sliding-scale clinics are out of reach, because those clinics are often limited to emergency care alone. Even those who purchase VA dental insurance face high out-of-pocket costs, with coverage that rarely supports a full treatment plan. While the need spans our nation, we’ve seen that the most profound impact happens locally. When dental societies take the lead in serving veterans, they bring crucial care to their communities and inspire others to join in, creating a ripple effect felt across the nation. We invite you to be part of this mission, lifting up veterans who have served us all and helping meet a pressing, often-overlooked need. |
WHO WE SERVE Our program serves veterans facing financial hardship who have completed at least one enlistment period (with the exception of combat veterans) and have been honorably discharged. We also extend our services to spouses of qualified veterans, recognizing their invaluable role in supporting our servicemembers both physically and emotionally.
We understand that not all veterans are immediately ready to engage in our program. To ensure a positive experience for dental teams, we carefully screen participants, ensuring respect and adherence to schedules. We communicate closely with participating dentists to monitor attendance and maintain clear guidelines for communication and no-shows, ensuring smooth and respectful interactions for all involved. |
COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL CARE
Participating dentists offer veterans a fresh start by providing one-time, comprehensive dental care pro bono. This includes an initial examination and any necessary treatments identified during that exam. Once this treatment plan is completed, veterans assume responsibility for any future dental care.
This approach goes beyond addressing immediate needs by eliminating infection and chronic pain, restoring proper |
chewing function, and enhancing appearance. Our focus on comprehensive care helps break the cycle of "quick fixes" and offers veterans a true path to oral health renewal.
All treatments are provided in the comfort of the dentist’s own office and can be integrated into the doctor’s regular schedule. |

In the fall of 2021, Dr. Mary Glasheen introduced the South Plains District Dental Society to the mission of Everyone for Veterans. Inspired by its purpose, the board eagerly embraced the opportunity to make a difference. They reached out to their colleagues within the local society, raising awareness about the critical dental care needs of local veterans.
Since then, their collective efforts have provided life-changing dental care to 15 veterans and their spouses, totaling over $145,000 in services that would have otherwise been out of reach. This care has significantly enhanced the recipients’ quality of life. “It’s a great program that has given me the ability to chew again and be involved in my relationships with my family and friends,” shares Alex, a grateful participant. |
