Making Veterans Smile Caring for Colorado’s Veterans through Free Oral Health Services

Providing free oral health services to student veterans through the Cherith Flowerday Program established by Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation in 2014. This initiative supports veterans transitioning to civilian life and academia, with services available at various institutions across Colorado. Our patients include veterans from different eras and we offer specific pathways for homeless, low-income, and other veterans in need. Collaborating with community partners and academic institutions, we ensure our heroes receive quality dental care. For inquiries, contact us for more details.
