I was just reading about dental costs for services going up again, and I think they're talking about big increases. Why is it that we are paying so much for dental costs? It's also hard for us seniors to get any kind of dental insurance coverage that amounts to much.

I understand what you're talking about. Medicare doesn't cover much dental and it can be really high, especially when you get into your senior years. I guess it is like everything else and just keeps going up.

I was just talking this evening with an almost-senior uncle who was complaining about the rising cost of dental services. He mentioned that he's thinking of changing his current dentist. He has a feeling that the dentist charges much higher than the others.

I'm sure you are correct there Sylvia. Some dentist do charge a lot more then others. We have a teaching hospital attached to the university not far from us and my senior mother in law always went there for her dental work. It was cheap and she always had good work done.

Good idea LindaLou. I wish there was one close to me. I had to have a crown replaced recently and have no dental insurance. $995.00 later, I'm hoping I won't have to have any more work done anytime soon.
