Since the program’s inception in 1984, over 12,000 senior citizens on fixed incomes across the state have ben- efited from the reduced dental fees. Good dental health can affect a person’s entire life, and many senior citizens neglect this aspect of health care on the false belief that regular dental visits are not necessary and too costly. The PDA points out that only 35 percent of people over 65 years of age receive regular dental care. The Access to Care Program is designed to ‘increase th!t number by reducing the cost of dental care for senior citizens on fixed incomes. Participants in the Access to Care Program are referred to den- tists in their local communities who are enrolled in the program. They will receive reduce fees for all dental services. That includes exams, cleaning, denture work and all other dental procedures. For more information on the Access to Care Program, senior citizens can call the PDA toll free at 1-800-692-7256. Good oral health shouldn’t have to take a backseat for Pennsylvania’s senior citizens.
