Veterans who weren’t prisoners of war or don’t suffer from a service-related disability are unable to obtain dental care from the VA. You’re an unemployed vet with an impacted tooth or abscess and you go to the VA fo help, you’re shown the door because it’s too expensive.
And yet, they’ve got the money to mutilate men & women who are suffering from psychosis.
Just before ETS the army dentist told me I needed a crown but the army would not do it. So he did all the prep work and said within one year the VA would do it. The VA sent me to dentist in 71. I still have that crown which was gold btw.
