If you're a member of AARP, they too offer a dental plan. I know my brother has it (I think he said he pays between $400-$500 a year), and if you get Delta Dental "Plus", after having that particular plan for a full year, you're even entitled to periodontal work. My brother needed this, and he just went to a Periodontist who was on the list and all the work was covered in full. You may want to review the available information to see how much you could save simply by having this dental coverage. If savings are sufficient, sign up immediately.
