Can a Veteran Affairs Hospital Clean my teeth?
No where.





The VA does not provide dental service unless iyou are a pow or have a disability that would require dental services.





It only cost $60 to have your teeth cleaned.





You really don't expect life time medicial or dental benefits just because you are a veteran, did you ?
Reply:Are you retired? Unless you are retired you aren't eligible. Even if you are under a health plan with the VA the cleaning of your teeth will have to be tied to a medical condition that requires it.
Reply:Do you have a military rrelated disability? Do you have a disability rating?Did you have severe dental problems? Check with the local VA Hospital.





Inquire at a local Community College where they teach dental assisting/hygiene or a dental school.


They are always loking for patients.
Reply:Nature is right...I am 70% disabled and some of the fillings the Army did are falling out, but the VA will not do anything for you unless you are 90% or above or have a tooth related disablility...it sucks especially since most of the Army dentists sucked...but thank God I have dental insurance...
Reply:Veterans Affairs Dental Services are afforded to veterans who are 100% Total and Permanently disabled as a result of Service Connected Injury, Disease or Treatment.





They will also address specific dental conditions that themselves were declared as Service Connected, for instance if a battle field injury caused the loss of teeth in connection with your wound, the VA would continue to maintain your dentures and treatment necessary as a result of that trauma.





I can not think of anyplace the gives free preventative dental treatment, based solely on being a veteran.





Now, you can find inexpensive routine care at Dental Schools and Dental Hygienist training facilities throughout the country. The work will be done by a student, but they are well supervised by a fully qualified dentist or licensed hygeinist, as the case may be.
