More Maine veterans could soon get dental care
BANGOR, Maine (WABI) -More Maine veterans could soon get dental care thanks to a donation from Northeast Delta Dental.
Governor Mills announced Tuesday Northeast Delta Dental is giving a 300-thousand dollar grant to the Maine Veterans’ Dental Network.
The network launched in 2021 and helps Maine veterans who cannot pay out of pocket for dental care and do not have dental insurance.
Mills’ office says many veterans who have utilized the program have shared it was their first time accessing oral health care since separating from the military.
Services are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis until grant funding is exhausted.
Veterans can apply online by visiting maine.gov/governor/mills/veteransdental.
