Dentists for Veterans is a non-profit organization based in Irvine, CA, dedicated to providing critically needed dental care to neglected veterans. Founded in 2011 by renowned dentist and philanthropist, Charles Zahedi DDS, PhD, the organization is composed of a small group of volunteer dentists and dental assistants who have provided over $500,000 worth of dental services to impoverished and disabled veterans in Southern California. Their mission is to eliminate pain and infection, while improving overall health and quality of life for veterans with limited access to dental services.
Despite the misconception that veterans have all their dental needs covered upon returning home, Dentists for Veterans aims to address the widespread problem of neglected dental needs among veterans. With no existing federal funding program for dental services, the organization works tirelessly to ensure that all veterans have access to full health services, not just medical, by providing compassionate dental care to orally disabled and handicapped veterans. Through their efforts, Dentists for Veterans brings more smiles to veterans and advocates for a better future for their oral health.
