The dental community wants to work together to give back to those how have served their country through military service. Our goal is to deliver one day of free dental services to the much deserving veterans who do not qualify for Veteran’s Administration provided dental treatment. This program will give special recognition to our veterans and say thank you for their personal sacrifices. Contrary to popular belief, only those service members with a “service-related injury” are entitled to dental services from the Veterans Administration. Therefore, there are many WNY veterans who desperately need our help.
