2. Why are free dental clinics important for veterans?

• Many veterans do not have access to dental insurance through their military service or cannot afford private dental care due to financial constraints.
• Oral health issues can have a significant impact on a person's overall well-being, and untreated dental problems can lead to more serious health complications.
• Free dental clinics provide an essential lifeline for veterans who need dental treatment but may not have the means to obtain it elsewhere.
