Local Veterans Invited to Receive Free Dental Care at Tallahassee State College

October 13, 2026

Tallahassee State College (TSC) is inviting local veterans in need of dental care to participate in A Day of Dental Care: Serving Those Who Served, a one-day community event on Friday, November 13, 2026, that will provide dental services at no cost to veterans.

Organized by TSC, the College's Dental Health Program, and the TSC Foundation, the event will bring together local dental professionals to address an important healthcare need among veterans. The event is made possible by the TSC Foundation (Presenting Sponsor), the Florida Dental Association (Gold Sponsor), and Jeri's Love on a Plate (Silver Sponsor).

For many veterans, access to routine and restorative dental care can be a challenge. Untreated dental problems can affect more than oral health, contributing to pain and complications that impact overall well-being, employment, and quality of life. Through this initiative, TSC and its community partners hope to remove financial barriers to care and provide meaningful assistance to those who have served our country.

"Our veterans have given so much in service to our country, and this is an opportunity for us to give something back," said Heather Mitchell, Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the TSC Foundation. "By bringing together the expertise of our dental professionals and the resources of our community, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans who need our help."

The College is currently seeking veterans who could benefit from the services offered during the event. Veterans, family members, veteran service organizations, and community partners are encouraged to help identify individuals who may need care.

Veterans interested in receiving dental services, or individuals wishing to refer a veteran, should contact:
