As we age so dose our teeth.   It is important to maintain our dental health throughout our life time.  Our dental health effects not only our oral health but our overall wellness. It is important for seniors to have good at home dental care habits and to see the dentist regularly.  For some seniors cost becomes an issue and they tend to put off needed dental care.  However there are low cost dental insurance plans such as HMO plans that range form $7.00 – $20.00 a month for an individual.  These types of dental insurance plans normally provide preventive dental care for free.  Thus making it easy for them to maintain their regular dental checks as needed, and by doing so helping to prevent any larger and more costly dental care needs in the future.
