Retirement And Your Teeth: Why Dental Insurance Is Still A Necessity PLUS 10% OFF!

Retirement?

No, not for me, but for all of you in my practice who are thinking about it, the good news is that we are living longer, and more of us are keeping our teeth. That’s great! 

However, this also means that we are going to be facing potentially significant dental issues for (hopefully) many years to come. We need to think about this and plan for it.

Research has shown that the lack of dental insurance benefits is a major contributor to poor oral health in older Americans (Source: Journal of The California Dental Association, July 2015, p.351, http://www.cda.org/).

Here is the point. If you are seriously looking to retire in the next 2-3 years, tell us now! It may make sense to do certain procedures now while you still have dental insurance. I would much prefer to see you replace that huge old silver filling now with a new crown rather than see it fracture 6 months after you retire. Your cost then would be significantly greater than now. Prevention has always been the best approach.

So talk to me at your next appointment. The years are flying by at “warp speed”!
