Dental - Change in Annual appointments

[Guest L]

While at the VA Dental office in Texas - I was informed of a recent change. No more annual appointments for routine care.

It is now every TWO years, since the system is "inundated with Veterans" - The clerks words, not mine. 

Just a Heads up.

That is terrible, it must be a regional thing so far because i still see my hygienist every 6 months and my dentist at least once a year for regular check ups but always have ongoing care.  I have metlife also because I purchased it for my family so I use it for the extra cleanings and annual with our family dentist to ensure nothing is missed just in case as it is covered already at no extra cost.  I would be pretty upset, are they at least doing your cleanings and xrays every 6 months like they should?  This is not "routine"  dental care.

@seminole I have Delta Dental - but keep my VA Dental Appointment... I was told it was just implemented.

Agreed - not routine care....
