In 2010, baby boomers will begin to retire en masse. By 2030, 20 percent of the population will be 65 years of age or older.

This mass migration towards retiree status comes during tough economic times, when employers are forced into cost-cutting mode and are unable to continue employer-sponsored health and dental coverage after retirement.

Without employer-sponsored benefits, retirees are left with limited options. And yet, the loss of health and dental insurance comes at a time when people need insurance the most. Severe medical issues such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes strike many in their retirement years—and all have been linked to poor or neglected dental health.

Renaissance Dental's new white paper, Caring for Aging Smiles, explores the challenges companies face providing for their aging employees, and the steps carriers like Renaissance Dental are taking to provide affordable and specialized plans for retirees.
