Seniors urged to prioritize dental care amid limited insurance options
Douglas County seniors are urged to maintain dental health with home care, regular cleanings, and possible aid from sliding-scale clinics. Local resources include DCDC at 2210 Yale Road with income-based fees and Heartland Community Health Center, both offering help for those under or near the federal poverty level. Insurance hurdles persist, with medigap and stand-alone plans varying in coverage. SHICK coordinator Lori Phillips notes many overlook planning ahead.
