The School of Dental Medicine will present its eighth annual Dentistry Smiles for Veterans on Nov. 11, an initiative dedicated to honoring veterans.

Throughout the day, up to 200 veterans – many of whom lack dental insurance or do not qualify for dental treatment through the Veterans Health Administration, a benefit reserved only for those with service-related dental injuries – will receive care that ranges from simple cleanings to oral surgery.

The event, taking place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the UB Dental Clinic in Squire Hall, will be staffed by more than 200 professional including Buffalo-area dentists and hygienists, and UB dental students, faculty and staff.

All veterans are welcome. Appointments are limited. To schedule a visit, call 716-829-2780.

Dentistry Smiles for Veterans is made possible through the collaborative efforts of the School of Dental Medicine and the Eighth District Dental Society, a partnership dedicated to ensuring our veterans receive the care they deserve.
