Question: My mom is 74 and has all her teeth.  She get health benefits but it does not seem as if she gets anything for her teeth care.  I do not understand why her dental care is not included with her medicare.

She does not have any major dental needs but I do not want her to get any in the future and I know she as not seen a dentist for at least a year now.

Answer: I do not know what benefits seniors receive with their medicare I hear that they do have some benefits, though it seems to be pretty limited.  I would suggest that you call up medicare and see what benefits she has if any for her dental care needs.

After knowing this if you still feel she short on dental care benefits then review our dental insurance options for her.  She can still buy her own individual dental plan and use that instead so that she stays on top of her dental care needs.
