DENTAL ADVOCACY UPDATE

Support Dental Care for Veterans!


The American Dental Association (ADA) is calling on member dentists to ask their congressperson to support federal legislation that would help veterans access dental care and improve oral health.


To Support veterans' access to dental care, CLICK HERE.



The ADA supports legislation that would increase funding for VA dentistry, enabling VA dentists to care for those already eligible for benefits. The VET CARE Act would create a pilot program offering care to veterans with Type 2 Diabetes and studying whether there is a correlation between regular dental treatment and reduced complications of chronic Disease.
