7. dental insurance not worth it

I have never seen a dental insurance plan that was worth the money.

Medicare and Medigap cover my visits to the ophthalmologist except for the glasses prescription, which is $35. I only have the prescription done every couple of years. You may find that Medicare covers your visits too, since so many of us have one eye condition or another.

If you itemize your taxes, glasses and prescriptions and dental bills can be included in the medical section of Sched. A. Even mileage to the dentist or doctor can be claimed there; I'm astonished that for me that added up to a tidy sum annually. The instructions tell you how many cents a mile to claim for that year.
