One of the biggest questions we are often asked when people are making their transition to Medicare is "what about dental coverage?". Many people mistakenly think that Medicare provides coverage for routine dental services and procedures, only to be shocked that this isn't actually the case. This doesn't mean you won't have any options for dental coverage once you start Medicare, but we will use today's episode to help you better understand what your options may be.
