Dental365 will host its annual Free Day of Dentistry for Veterans on Sunday, November 8, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at five participating offices. Veterans will receive free cleanings, x-rays, and comprehensive examinations from volunteer dental professionals.
Why it matters
The event is held in honor of Veterans Day and addresses access to affordable dental care for veterans. The program began after a Dental365 team member's father, a veteran, struggled for years to obtain dental care he could afford.
Dental365 will run the event at five participating offices from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, across a network of locations in nine states. The organization projects it will serve dozens of veterans at each office, but no total headcount target was given.

November 2026: Event held in honor of Veterans Day.
Roadmap
Veterans Day, observed each November 11, has long prompted civic and private gestures honoring former service members, and Dental365's free-care day is timed to that tradition. The program extends that observance into a concrete service, addressing a documented barrier veterans face in accessing affordable dental care.
Veterans attending on November 8 can receive free cleanings, x-rays, and comprehensive examinations without cost at any of the five participating offices. Because the event runs only from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., veterans should plan to arrive within those hours.
The takeaway
Veterans who need dental work but face cost barriers can use the November 8 event to receive free care. Checking the event location finder before visiting helps confirm the nearest participating office.
