Free dental care for veterans

On Saturday, June 11, from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m., Aspen Dental locations nationwide will open their doors to provide free care to military veterans across the country.

Now in its eighth year, the Day of Service provides much-needed dental care for veterans at no cost to honor their service and break down barriers to health care.

Veterans can call 1-844-277-3646 (1-844-ASPENHMM) to find a location and schedule an appointment. Advance appointments are required.

There are five participating offices in the Auburn – Portland ME market.

791 Turner Street, Auburn, ME 04210 171 Maine Mall Road, South Portland, ME 04106

333 Main Street, Waterville, ME 04901

125 Shops Way #126, Biddeford, ME 04005

17 Thomaston Commons Way, Thomaston, ME

Millions of Americans struggle to access dental care every year, and veterans are no exception. In fact, U.S. veterans are ineligible for dental benefits through the Veterans Administration unless they’re 100 percent disabled, have a service-related mouth injury, or were a prisoner of war.
