Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for loss of teeth and a hernia, finding no evidence to support a link between these conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had any dental or oral conditions recognized by VA for compensation purposes, nor was there evidence linking his current hernia to his active duty service.
