Did you know Minnesota offers dental benefits for eligible veterans and surviving spouses?

Many people are surprised to learn that the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) may help cover routine dental care, dentures, and even extractions for qualifying veterans and dependents.

Here’s what may be available through this state benefit program:

🦷 Up to $1,500 annually for routine dental care
🦷 Additional denture authorization up to $4,000
🦷 Up to $2,500 for extractions related to denture preparation

These benefits are income- and asset-based, and eligibility must be approved through MDVA.

Dental health is important to your overall health, confidence, and quality of life—and too many veterans and surviving spouses go without care simply because they don’t realize help may be available.

If you are unsure whether you qualify, stop in and see us. We can help explain the program, review eligibility requirements, and assist with the application process.

As the school year winds down, keeping our kids safe remains a top priority. Minnesota recently updated its school bus laws to clear up any confusion on the road and, more importantly, to protect our students.
It’s no longer just about the stop arm. Under the new law, you must stop your vehicle at least 20 feet away the moment those red lights begin flashing.
This small change makes a huge difference in ensuring every student makes it home safely. You can find the full details in this post from the MN State Patrol Safety Matters https://dps.mn.gov/news/msp/flashing-red-lights-mean-stop-mn-strengthens-school-bus-safety-rules?fbclid=IwY2xjawRuxv5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFvZHR3bmp3a254dEFNQVY4c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHgt185zlmoZ33iiuczlbkxah-01Qw_vUun95j19-sa8Sv6gak_CTBAExoZjM_aem_cuy-ex-FwbPVuXBoWWSt6w&brid=YWdncwEJof1k_mzMK_2ooe0njGSl
