Dental Care

The goal of keeping a healthy set of teeth and gums for a lifetime makes dental insurance coverage important. Dental Insurance is not part of routine Medicare Part B. For that reason, Medicare enrollees should invest in a Dental Insurance Policy to avoid any surprises as you go to your twice annual visits to the Dentist.

Oral health is linked to far more than keeping natural teeth healthy.Preventive care for dental and oral health is a vital part of maintaining overall health. There are correlations between oral health and diabetes and possibly heart disease. Routine examinations, preventive dental work and the treatment of tooth decay, gum diseases and diseases with the jaw make this insurance important.

Dental Facts

Why Dental Insurance?                

For Retirees, it is important to point out that Medicare does not include dental care! Just at the time when you may require more extensive dental health coverage, you will need to make certain that you include a private dental plan that is recognized by your dentist so that you do not have unexpected large financial risks during your retirement years.

Healthy Teeth Keep Retirees Independent

Unfortunately, dental problems tend to increase as we age. Older teeth develop more problems with plague and they are at risk for gum disease, receding gums, tooth decay and oral cancers. Regular check ups with the dentist and aggressive care for teeth and gums at home are the best way to keep a healthy mouth and smile.

Your Dentist may also advise you to replace some of your older fillings with newer materials. Frequently, a Dentist may advise you that older fillings have crevices that allow tooth decay to progress.

Some of the diseases that may develop with age, such as diabetes or coronary disease along with routine medications that many seniors take can have an adverse impact on oral health. The Dentist will keep an eye out for the need to provide preventive care or care for the impact of these underlying conditions.

Dental Insurance

 

Without Dental Insurance, a trip to the dentist can be a very expensive experience. While Dental coverage is not included in your Medicare Plan, you do have the option of purchasing a policy to cover dental care. Rest easy knowing that a Dental policy covers two annual visits to the dentist, routine x-rays and fillings along with some of the more extensive contingencies that face you as your teeth age.

 

Our Customers

“Before I retired, I always had dental insurance from work. I had no idea that dental care wasn’t covered by Medicare. Thankfully, when I was working with PBSllc to sign up for my supplemental coverage, they made sure that I added a Dental Plan to my insurance.”
