For what it is worth the VA has job announcements out for hiring dental hygienists. Whether they have them at your particular VA facility is something else. Maybe call

what facility is nearest (like a VAMC or VA Hospital, not a CBOC) and ask them? Good luck.

I am in new Orleans and I have my teeth cleaned every 6 month. You can bet your bottom dollar that they have hygienists on duty.

The VAMC in Birmingham calls me in for cleanings every six months also

[rosypalm]

VA does cleaning.

They consider tooth cleaning an exam. If you tell them your tooth hurts they will pull in a second. When you ask about an implant to replace it they get deaf. At least in my case. When they did anything besides cleaning my teeth they fouled it up. I think they cost me two teeth that I replaced on my own dime. I am going to get them for that.
