Dental care
Dental expenses tend to increase with age as older patients may develop gum disease or require expensive dental procedures such as crowns and root canals. Don’t look to Medicare to take the bite out of those dental bills.
Solution: Consider buying supplemental dental insurance, joining a membership program that offers dental discounts or enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan. Even those solutions have limits on the number of visits and procedures that are covered and are subject to an annual maximum, though.
