Tucson Veterans Serving Veterans partnered with Aspen to schedule close to 30 military veterans for free dental care including x-rays, cleanings, fillings and extractions. This stop marks one of 34 the MouthMobile will make on its Healthy Mouth Movement, providing dental care to veterans along the way as far east as Maine. Veterans in need of dental care have another chance during Aspen Dental’s Day of Service on June 24.

Aspen Dental is offering free dental care to thousands of veterans nationwide as part of their sixth annual Day of Service event.

On Saturday, June 8, 500 Aspen Dental offices will provide care for military veterans, include those living in Tucson, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

To schedule an appointment with a participating Tucson office call 1-844-277-3646. Openings are available on a first-come- first-served basis.

At least two sites will be open in Tucson:

  • Aspen Dental 1218 W. Irvington Rd
  • Aspen Dental (Wilmot Plaza) 6303 E. Broadway Blvd Suite 101 

"Aspen Dental will also look to build on the success of last year’s Day of Service campaign, in which more than 4,300 veterans across the country received free dental care at 426 participating Aspen Dental locations," a news release said.
