Los Al dental clinic provides free care to local vets

HONORING VETS

On Nov. 10, Dr. Sesa Barsamian, DDS, and her staff hosted their ninth annual Veterans Day Event at their office in Los Alamitos.

Veterans received X-rays, exams and a dental cleaning at no cost.

Barsamian’s office dedicated the entire day to provide care to veterans only; no other regular patient appointments were made for that day.

This is the ninth consecutive year that Barsamian has donated her skills, time, office hours and supplies to local veterans.

The office and the six staff members accommodated 23 veterans who were very thankful for the dental services they received.

A few of the veterans had not had a dental checkup and cleaning for over 10 years.

One vet in his mid-twenties said he never had a dental cleaning before.

A large number of people seen that day are patients of Barsamian’s office. They get their teeth checked and cleaned at the office regularly.

A few were not regular patients but have been attending the Veterans Day event since they first started in 2013. Some have never missed a year.

Barsamian was recognized four years ago by the city of Los Alamitos for her support of veterans.
