I wonder how many know that most veterans don't get any dental care from the VA? I like this idea.

Vets can get dental care for conditions that threaten their health, which basically amounts to extractions and oral surgery for real problems, but no routine cleaning, fillings, root canals, etc., and certainly nothing cosmetic.

I’m special disabled (the highest priority, IIRC) and I’ve been told no when I go for severe toothaches, etc.

>>>no routine cleaning, fillings, root canals<<<

Not very smart - wait till health threatening before treatment...

2ndDivisionVet is correct though - as many are able to get NONE as services are just not available in all areas.
