Why would the VA deny dental care within my community when the closest VA dental clinic is 70 miles from my residence?

The Closest VA Dental Clinic is 70 miles from my residence.
The Dental Clinic there is no way I can Receive Dental Service through Community Care regardless of the distance from my home to the Dental Clinic.
I've looked but have not found anything stating I cannot receive Dental Service in my community.
Does anyone have details as to why they would deny Community Care based on distance?

I have tried to get benefits for dental care and have been shuffled from provider to provider with nothing being done

Not good but you’re not the only one that it’s happening to , they keep blaming low staff I’m kinda giving up on the dental thing, I can’t even make an appointment at the va dental clinic they say I have to wait. Got to say something is not right.

I go to a civilian doctor because I really liked him but now he’s retiring and it’s only a few blocks away

My dental appointment was also canceled the only reason I was given was LOW ON STAFF which I say bull shit, I sometimes wonder if it’s because I am a veitnam vet I had an appointment then I didn’t there is no one to call and complain if you do complain beware
