Relax to the sound of Ann Grace's authentic Himalayan Singing bowls, with gentle verbal guidance to further calm the nervous system.

Veteran Dental Assistance for U.S. Patients

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is pleased to announce a partnership with NYU Dentistry’s Veterans Oral Care Access Resource (VOCARE) to help Veterans with blood cancer gain access to dental care.

Any Veteran, regardless of dental benefit class, who requires dental procedures to begin lifesaving therapy for a blood cancer or as a consequence of therapy for a blood cancer, will be eligible for financial assistance to cover the costs of dental services. 

Care will be provided at the NYU Dentistry Oral Health Center for People with Disabilities. Although treatment takes place in New York City, the program is available to all Veterans as long at they reside in the U.S. or a U.S. territory, and can travel to New York City. 

All expenses for the required dental care will be covered, as long as funding is available. Veterans can receive services more than once. Covered expenses include, but are not limited to, extractions, root canals, jaw surgery, dentures, cavity fillings, and gum disease.
