ADOPT A VET DENTAL PROGRAM INC

Adopt a Vet Dental Program (AAVD) identifies and qualifies each case, then seeks appropriate dental care for the qualified veteran. All dental services are provided pro bono to qualifying veterans. This is only possible because of the extensive services donated by our volunteer dentists.

And the labs who help subsidize or completely cover the lab expenses associated with each veteran’s treatment.

Thousands of low-income Nevada Veterans suffer every day from extreme oral decay. They endure years of severe pain from abscesses, multiple deteriorated teeth and more.

Around 42,000 Veterans are enrolled in the Reno VA Hospital. But only an estimated 10% of them qualify for dental care. Because to qualify for the VA Dental Clinic, Veterans must be:

Disabled (100% service connected)
Injured in the jaw or mouth while in service
Been a prisoner of war
This means a shocking 90% of our Veterans can’t receive services through their VA Dental Clinic. As a low-income Veteran, their only hope is AAVD.
