Veterans suffering from dental pain will be able to receive care at no cost for fillings, extractions, and basic denture repairs during a special nationwide event next month.

Aspen Dental, the country’s largest branded network of dental practices, will be providing dental care for veterans during its sixth annual Day of Service event June 8. More than 450 dental offices will participate.

Patients can find a nearby participating provider make an appointment by calling 844-277-3646. Appointments are required. Along with procedures to address urgent dental needs, routine cleanings and dental exams will be given, according to an Aspen Dental news release.

Not all veterans qualify for dental care through VA. For more information on who can receive VA dental care and how to apply for benefits, visit this fact sheet.

Last year, Aspen Dental provided services to more than 4,300 veterans at 426 offices.
