Dental practice offers free care to veterans

Aspen Dental will offer free dental care to veterans on June 9 as part of a day of service.

Veterans are asked to call 844-277-3646 to schedule an appointment at a participating office. The Aspen Dental office at 1310 N. National Ave., Suite A, Columbus is participating in this event.

Appointments are required and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Veterans struggle to find dental care in some circumstances as they are not eligible for Veterans Administration dental benefits unless they are 100 percent disabled, have a service-related mouth injury or were a prisoner of war.

This is Aspen Dental’s fifth annual Day of Service.
