I just signed my father up for the dental plan through AARP. It's ~ $550 a year for insurance coverage but it's a good plan. www.aarp.com AARP is good. Also, many of the companies that offer Medicare Supplements also offer Senior Dental Plans. Here in California Blue Cross has a good plan. To find companies in your state that provide dental insurance or dental discount plans, go to the National Association of Dental Plans site (www.nadp.org) which has a directory of companies that offer dental insurance. The directory can be searched by state and you can select "individual" and get the list of just those companies that provide individual dental insurance in your state. The listing also tells you if the company provides dental HMO, dental PPO, dental indemnity (traditional insurance without a network) or a discount plan (not insurance but a discount off the dentist's fees who are part of the discount network).

Senior dental caries you mean? Well, usually it's just a combination of years of improper dental care. Eating sticky candy (sticky substances 'stick' to your teeth, eating away at the enamel) or not brushing and flossing right after you eat can contribute also. Usually the incidents of dental caries goes DOWN in older people, while the incident of gingivitis and periodontal disease and bone loss goes UP. Double that for smokers.
