Here's something a lot of seniors find out the hard way. Original Medicare doesn't cover routine dental care.

That means cleanings, fillings, crowns and dentures can come straight out of your pocket.

An individual dental plan can fill that gap.

Ameritas PrimeStar plans have no waiting periods, so coverage can start as soon as the next day.

Checkups and cleanings are covered up to one hundred percent, and they don't count against your yearly maximum.

Complete even includes hearing exams and help paying for hearing aids.

Coverage levels and maximums increase after year one. Plans, costs and availability vary by state.
