Brickworks Dental in Mays Landing and Marmora Family Dental in Upper Township will perform x-rays, exams, cleanings, fillings, root canals, and extractions at no cost to vets. All veterans are eligible with just a military I.D. or proof of service.

Services are first come, first serve at both locations on November 3rd from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., but making an appointment in advance will guarantee treatment. Emergency cases will be treated first.

In the United States, over 85% of military veterans do not qualify for any kind of dental care through the Veterans Administration. Dr. Deryck Pham, of Brickworks Dental, was 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.

Midday host Heather DeLuca and SoJO On The Go will be broadcasting live from Brickworks Dental to support the event!
