Dental insurance for seniors
 

when you turn 65 and on medicare it is a disaster trying to find dental insurance ....hubby and I have been combing the internet trying to find some that is worth the money , the caps are so big its easier to pay out of pocket but when your bills total over $ 5000 ITS HARD . we live in Iowa . CAN ANYONE HELP ..... any ideas . my hubby and I are proud of our teeth and want to continue taking care of them...but they are making it difficult ... Your teeth are a part of your body like your eyes and medical....thanks

razzle,

I agree with you..... teeth are a part of your body and need to be considered important by the insurance companies.

Have you looked into AARP for dental care coverage?

I looked at aarp thanks but didn't have that other site thanks so much...

I've had medicare for over 10 yrs and for some years I had smilesaver "discount" insurance, pretty inexpensive yearly and deep discounts. Then I got disenchanted with the dentist I had and dropped that smilesaver, found Careington and it looks good and a friend bought into it and she uses it. We're in california.

Then I found a dentist who would clean my teeth for $65 and not push xrays, as I don't want them....I've had so much dental work over my life and now work hard to keep my mouth in good condition. I know the almost 20 yrs of grape seed extract has kept my gums in much much better condition.

I make up my own toothpaste which coconut oil based, add MSM, clove drops, and sometimes myrrh drops and working with other TP's that are much better than commercial TP's...don't use fluoride.. I hope I can keep in good shape with what I'm doing. Do my best to avoid refined carbs and sugars.

Just googled Careington 500 and they are across the US.

thanks so much
