AARP dental plan does cover North Carolina

First, I would like to thank you for running my letter regarding dental plans (Sept. 10). I since have received calls advising me that AARP has included North Carolina in its dental plan. So I researched it and indeed they have.

It is very expensive, but at least we do have a choice now.

I am still happy I wrote the letter as I am sure a lot of people did not know this previously. The rate for two people on Plan A (your own choice of dentist) is $43.80 a month and Plan B (dentist in the network) is $32.93 a month. Not too bad if you need a lot of dental work.

Again, thanks, and next time I will do my research first.

Joan,

Dental insurance is a waste of money. I had two gum surgeries, 4 cleanings, and a root canal in one year and the insurance company still paid less than I paid them for premiums.

Oh, and N&R, you broke your letter to the editor policy by printing this letter! You've told me you won't print more than one letter every 30 days from a person.
