SMILE SALUTE VETS WITH A Through major acts of courage and simple acts of kindness, Veterans have protected Americans' rights and defended our freedoms. Yet millions of U.S. Veterans are going without much-needed, essential oral health care. The New York State Dental Foundation is organizing a crew of dentists across New York State who will pledge to provide free dental treatment to one or more United States Veterans in 2024. WILL YOU PLEDGE TO PROVIDE DENTAL CARE FOR ONE VETERAN IN 2024? "85%, or about 7.8 million veterans enrolled in the Veterans Affairs health care system, are ineligible for VA dental benefits... in order to qualify for dental services, Veterans must either have a dental issue that is service-connected or qualify based on narrow criteria." PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT TODAY Fill out the pledge form. Your name will be added to our internal directory of Dental Heroes. We will spread the news about New York's Salute Vets with a Smile program and connect Veterans in need with a Dental Hero in their area. Free toothbrushes and up to $500 in funding for supplies will be provided to any components wishing to organize an additional Veterans event in their district. WWW.SDDSNY.ORG 9
