Benefits You Should Know: State Dental Assistance
Dental care can be expensive, and too many Veterans put it off because they do not know where to start.
The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs has a Dental Assistance Program that may help eligible Minnesota Veterans and their dependents with dental care costs. Some surviving spouses may also qualify.
This is a Minnesota state benefit through MDVA, not the same as federal VA dental eligibility.
A few things to know:
• This benefit is income AND asset-based
• Eligible applicants may receive up to $1,500 for annual routine dental care
• Dentures may be authorized up to $4,000 when necessary
• Extractions needed for dentures may be authorized up to $2,500
• Applications are made through a County Veterans Service Office
Dental benefits are open year-round, and the routine dental benefit is generally limited to once every 12 months.
Eligibility rules apply. Contact your County Veterans Service Officer to learn more and apply.
