It boggles my mind that dental coverage is so poor. I have bad teeth and have paid thousands to prop up my failing mouth. It hits senior citizens the hardest because many Medicare options don’t include good dental. At the time when dental care is a matter of life and death we often can least afford it. I don’t know why dental care isn’t healthcare.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Deidre. This has all been incredibly enlightening for me. I always thought I had “good teeth.” But I know that I’ve neglected my maintenance more than I should. I didn’t know how expensive dental coverage is, and I appreciate you raising the point about how it’s especially challenging for seniors to afford. This is a money talk I never planned but one I’m glad we’re having to help us and others prepare!
My father-in-law is a dentist and has seen our family for free when we've had to have dental work done! Dental insurance is even crappier than most health insurance 😭
