Leading authorities on maintaining your good health list proper dental care as a major ingredient. The Mayo Clinic claim that problems that begin inside a persons mouth can affect the rest of the body. The American Dental Association says: "Numerous recent scientific studies indicate associations between oral health and a variety of general health conditions—including diabetes and heart disease." The World Health Organization reports: "Globally, about 30% of people aged 65–74 have no natural teeth" Does anybody know how many of our veterans fit into that group?
Oral health is essential to general health and quality of life. Every one of our Veterans, not a select few, deserve this care. Change our laws and include them in VA Benefits.
