Veterans Will Receive Free Dental Care at Nearly 400 Aspen Dental Practices Help Support Aspen Dental\u2019s National Day of Service on June 25th<\/span><\/p>\n

Thousands of veterans will receive free dental care on Saturday, June 25th, when doctors and their teams from nearly 400 Aspen Dental-branded practices in 33 states open their doors for Aspen Dental\u2019s National Day of Service \u2013 an event that is expected to be the largest single-day oral health initiative for veterans in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like millions of other Americans, veterans can struggle to find oral health care when they need it. That\u2019s why Aspen Dental\u2019s Healthy Mouth Movement, a community-giving initiative launched in 2014, is focusing its efforts on helping veterans get the dental care they need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is how you can help:<\/span><\/p>\n

Interested veterans should call 1-844-AspenHMM to find a participating practice in their community and schedule an appointment in advance \u2013 space is limited and appointments are filling up fast!<\/span><\/p>\n

More About Aspen Dental\u2019s Healthy Mouth Movement<\/span><\/p>\n

The Healthy Mouth Movement (HMM) is a community-giving initiative launched in 2014 to deliver free dental care to thousands of people in need in communities across the U.S. and oral health education to millions more. Since 2014, more than 7,000 patients have received free dental care through the HMM – an initiative that has spanned 33 states, resulting in more than $4.1 million dollars in free dental care, thanks to the generosity of dentists and team members from Aspen Dental practices across the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you know, people who want a healthy mouth often struggle to find oral health care when they need it due to limited access to dentists, high costs, or lack of insurance. Those barriers kept more than 155 million American adults from visiting a dentist in the past year \u2013 just over half the adult population in the U.S. Among those are veterans, a patient population that resonated deeply with the volunteers from Aspen Dental practices because veterans do not receive dental care benefits through the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs unless they are 100 percent disabled or have a service-related injury to their mouths.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2015, Aspen Dental has partnered with Got Your 6, a collaborative campaign that works to empower veterans and strengthen communities nationwide. Got Your 6 \u2013 meaning \u201cI got your back\u201d\u2013 focuses on six key pillars of veteran reintegration, including leadership, health, and education. Aspen Dental dentists and team members share in this same belief, and have helped shine a spotlight on an important issue, thereby truly making a difference in the lives of many veterans. It is a commitment that has continued in 2016, as Aspen Dental focuses once again on empowering veterans with a healthy smile.<\/span><\/p>\n
