One large problem for many seniors in taking care of their oral and dental health is cost. The cost of seeing a dentist exceeds their budget. That is because many seniors do not have dental insurance and the cost of dental insurance can also exceed their budget. However there is a low cost dental alternative for seniors.

Dental discount plans are available in most states they run around $10.00 a month and greatly reduce dental care cost.  Making dental care more affordable.
