Mays Landing, NJ – September 16, 2014 – Brickworks Dental will be filled with veterans on November 8 when dozens of volunteer dentist, assistants, and hygienist will be treating the dental needs of our nation’s neglected veterans. Brickworks Dental is located in Mays Landing, New Jersey. 

In the US, there are almost 23 million veterans and less than 15% of them qualify for any kind of dental benefits. In recent news, the lack of care for our veterans has been exposed through the faulty systems of the Veterans Administration. Scandals, excuses, resignations, and ultimately – deaths uncovered the horrible mistreatment our veterans are dealing with. The general public never knew how badly the VA treated its patients until now and veterans have an even greater problem with their dental needs. One former Navy dentist wants to change this.

Deryck Pham DDS, served his country as a Lieutenant in the US Navy, serving a tour as a combat dentist during Operation Iraqi Freedom on the ground in the deserts of Iraq. After leaving the military and joining private practice, he has a new mission – to help his fellow veterans.

Three years ago “Serving Those Who’ve Served”, a veteran’s dental day, was born. It is a day when dentist can make a difference and help a population that many Americans can often forget about. Every year, during the Veteran’s Day Weekend, dental offices across the country open their doors to treat veterans at no cost. Everything from exams, fillings, cleanings and extractions – all provided free of charge. 

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, November 8 from 9am to 2pm at Brickworks Dental in Mays Landing. For more information or appointments, call 609-625-0505. www.BrickworksDental.com
