When you work full time, it\u2019s common to have employer-sponsored dental insurance. Unfortunately, however, after retirement, many people lose that coverage. Worse yet, programs like Medicare don\u2019t always cover oral health care, putting seniors in a bind. The great news is that your dentist offers a valuable in-house membership plan that can help save you money on preventive and restorative care without the need for dental insurance. Here\u2019s more about why if you\u2019re a senior, or if you simply don\u2019t have dental insurance coverage, the KLEER In-house Membership plan<\/a> may be an excellent \u00a0way for you to get the treatment you need at a price that\u2019s better suited to your budget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is the KLEER In-house Membership Plan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The KLEER In-house Membership plan is a 12-month plan that includes routine preventive oral health care at no additional cost, all for an affordable monthly or annual fee that is lower than most traditional dental insurance plans. There are no deductibles, waiting periods, annual maximums, denials of claims, and pre-approvals. Additionally, it provides valuable discounts of up to 20 percent on some treatments offered at your dentist\u2019s office, and one emergency exam for those unexpectedly urgent oral health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the KLEER In-House Membership Plan Good for Seniors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The great news is that yes, the KLEER In-house Membership plan is an excellent choice for many seniors. That\u2019s because in addition to being very affordable, this program is effective for 12 months beginning on the date you enroll and is a convenient way to ensure that your preventive dental care is covered. There\u2019s no need to worry about waiting periods, pre-existing conditions, or high deductibles, either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Oral Health Care so Important for Seniors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you get older, it may seem like the condition and appearance of your smile shouldn\u2019t matter as much as it used to. But the truth is, your oral health is closely connected to your overall health, and small problems in the mouth can quickly worsen and create bigger issues throughout the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, while you may believe that gum disease only damages your teeth and gums, it can also contribute to serious conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Lost teeth can also make it hard to get essential nutrients that keep your body healthy and strong as you age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that when you care for your smile, you can significantly decrease your risk of developing many of these issues, keeping you looking and feeling your best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, oral health care is just as important if not more important in your senior years as it ever was. If you do not have dental insurance coverage, don\u2019t overspend or cut corners on caring for your smile. Speak to your dental team about the KLEER In-house Membership plan today and protect your oral health for a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
