Free Veteran’s Dental Clinics
In partnership with the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of the University of Southern California (USC), Village for Vets hosts biannual, week-long dental clinics for underserved Veterans in Los Angeles. Our clinics serve on average over 100 Vets and more than 1500 procedures are performed.
While the VA provides health care for Veterans, many Veterans cannot get access to dental or vision care. Unhoused and at-risk Veterans served face significant and often chronic oral health conditions resulting from lack of access, dental insurance, financial resources to pay for expensive dental care. Many Veterans experience chronic and severe pain and infection following years of neglect, negatively impacting their ability to chew food, their health, and their overall quality of life. Our ongoing dental clinics are there to extend access to those who might otherwise go without care. Once the clinic ends, if additional work is still required, the clinic dentists provide referrals so any work that has not been competed can be resolved.
