I agree, we all should get dental because gum disease can lead to heart disease. Other vets can get dental as well though, not just 100% disabled.
If you are service connected for a mouth related issue/injury then you also qualify. Your PCP can put in a referral to dental if you're having a dental related issue as well, but you'll only be seen for a specified period of time, not forever.

Not being able to access dental care unless 100% disabled. Oral care plays a major roll in immune support, the digestive system, and more. It’s not just an esthetic need.
Veterans even well deserving veterans live in fear of scrutiny or saying wrong words in exams which could drop disability ratings.
The long wait times and backlogs for benefit decisions and the non personal manner in which decisions are reached.
Organizations or firms targeting veterans for percentages of their disability pay.
After submitting pertinent evidence, nexus letters, etc. a veteran with the use of a VSO can still be denied disability by using “incorrect “ terminology. Thus, causing undo stress to the veteran as they enter the appeals process which can effect a veterans immediate needs and also costs the VA funds in time, resources, and legal costs.
The difficulty of finding like minded outlets or places to reintegrate with a sense of commoradery.

CPL Alan Cox Thanks exactly why the VA created the portal in Wisconsin because rhinos were being lost when they were sent to a zRegionsl Office.
