TULSA, Okla. — Most veterans do not receive dental care through the Veterans Administration unless they are 100% disabled, have a service-related mouth injury or were a prisoner of war.

As a result, many veterans are not getting access to the dental care they need.

Aspen Dental’s Mouth Mobile travels across the country providing free care to vets in communities where care may not be readily available.

On October 4, the Mouth Mobile will be coming to Tulsa to provide free dental care to local veterans as part of its 18-stop, cross-country tour this fall.

The Mouth Mobile is a fully-equipped dental office on wheels, now with an additional service of free oral cancer screening with OralID™.

Appointments are still available but filling up fast.

To make an appointment, veterans can contact Elizabeth Adams at (918) 588-8459.
