Did you know your oral health can provide insight into your overall health?1 Studies indicate untreated dental conditions can introduce bacteria into the body that have been linked to conditions such as diabetes, pneumonia, and even heart disease.2 How will you plan to pay unexpected dental bills? Planning ahead can be particularly important, especially if you're on a fixed retirement income. With the national average Social Security benefit at about $1,500 a month,3 paying out-of-pocket for a root canal costing $900 or more, for example, can be difficult for many people. And keep in mind Medicare doesn't cover dental care.4 So, just as you would plan for unexpected medical bills, you also need to consider how you'll pay for unexpected dental bills.

I must say — I'm happier with my Physicians Mutual plan than any other coverage I've had. Many other dental insurance plans stop paying benefits after you reach $1,000 in covered services. I LOVE that this plan keeps paying benefits after I've passed $1,000. I'm so glad I bought it!
