My initial research yesterday showed that there were NO options, however. Beth, I don’t think Delta does private policies. I’ll call today.

For $60 a month, she gets her dental care covered, PLUS her eyeglasses. Again, have no clue if it is just for those on Medicare and in a nursing home - which again - she is both....but just FYI. Good Luck....Without seeming to sick - just pull all the bastards and get some dentures...might be cheaper....and less of a hassle in the long run....(Easy for others to suggest I know - BUT....) Again - good luck with it, and I know it's frustrating as Hell........It saved my Mom in that she was losing a pair of glasses per week, then when she got Senior Dent - the staff seemed much more cautious about where her glasses were!!! hmmmmmmmm??? Whatever......... John – something to check on – although it may be just for those in a “nursing home” etc….(as is my Mother) is a policy called Senior Dent.

All dental insurance policies are structred like the ones you mentioned. Dental insurance is good for young families who don't know how to save money for a specific goal. For people our age it is typically worthless. We found a good policy with Delta Dental that is more generous than most. The best thing about it is no waiting period and a low yearly copay. Hi John!
