One of the things i see all the time is someone putting off their dental needs only to retire, have a tooth break and not be able to fix it because they are now on a fixed income and don't have the money to pay for what they could have afforded to do only a few years ago.
So do you have large fillings in your teeth that your dentist advised you should be crowned someday? My advice is to approach retirement because those large fillings don't last forever (does anything?) and when a tooth breaks it is seldom another filling. It may mean root canal treatment, internal buildup and crown which is a lot more than it would have cost to fix it when discovered earlier.
Putting off your dental treatment always costs more. Can you afford it after you retire?
