My wife's retiring in a few weeks and I'll be needing a dental plan. Ours is provided by her employer till she retires.

Mine also covers eye exams AND GLASSES and Lensses at no extra cost.

It’s Medigold. I don’t think it is offered in every state.

My teeth never decay anymore. They break. Brushing / flossing has nothing to do with it.

I will not be on medicare for another year.
When I retired last year I asked what insurance to get and my dentist office accepts PPO and not HMO.


HMO plans typically have lower monthly premiums. You can also expect to pay less out of pocket. PPOs tend to have higher monthly premiums in exchange for the flexibility to use providers both in and out of network without a referral. Out-of-pocket medical costs can also run higher with a PPO plan
