If you are over Age 65 and looking for Dental Insurance, BCBSNC has you covered. As a Medicare recipient, you may have realized that Medicare does not cover most dental expenses, which can leave you with a big gap in coverage. What you may not realize is how important it is that you continue to maintain your dental health at every age.
Medical experts have linked periodontal (gum) disease to stroke, heart disease, diabetes and other critical health issues. In fact, nearly 75 percent of American adults have some form of periodontal disease. With proper daily dental care, however, regular dental checkups can help detect, prevent and treat gum disease and related disorders. Having the coverage you need to make seeing your dentist affordable can make a big difference in your overall health.
With Dental Blue for Seniors, you’re covered for a broad range of dental services, including routine fillings and extractions, plus major services like crowns, bridges and dentures. Coverage also includes preventive care, such as bite-wing X-rays and fluoride treatments. That means you can get checkups and cleanings twice per benefit period, which ultimately supports better oral health. In addition, there are no waiting periods for cleanings, routine oral exams and other diagnostic and preventive services.
Having proper dental care is an important part of taking care of your health and a Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC dental plan can help you do just that! Choose Dental Blue for Seniors and you can take a big step toward protecting your overall health.
