What is Give Veterans A Smile?


A program created to help call national attention to the unmet oral health needs of Veterans by: Encouraging dentists to provide pro bono oral health care services to Veterans in need and then offer to serve as their dental home or refer them to a dental facility that can become their dental home, and sharing the value of charitable oral health care provided to help guide advocacy efforts aimed at increasing funding and access to care for Veterans.

Why is Give Veterans A Smile Needed?

82%, or about 7.4 million Veterans enrolled in the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system, are ineligible for VA dental benefits.

Data provided by Veterans Health Administration, January 29, 2024.

How will Give Veterans A Smile be accomplished?

Step-by-step toolkits and resources will encourage and help guide dentists to provide oral health services in their dental practices, or with a national partner organization and also assist Veterans to find a dental facility that can become their dental home.

The Give Veterans A Smile Program, launched in 2024, encourages dentists to provide pro bono oral health care to underserved Veterans and to assist them in finding a dental home.
