Contributed by: Eileen Doherty on 2/8/2007

The Senior Answers and Service's Dental Program is now accepting applications to provide financial assistance for dental services, including dentures, partials, fillings, extractions and cleanings. The patient is required to make a co-payment.

Any Denver Metro area senior that is enrolled in the Old Age Pension program and who is 60 or above, and makes less than $648 if they are single and $1,296 if they are married is eligible. The applicants must also have resources of less than $2,000 for a single and $3,000 for a couple to be eligible.

The program institutes an once-in-a-lifetime policy to best serve the senior population. If a person has used the program before, however, they may apply to receive assistance with a reline.

Any interested persons should contact 303-333-3482 for an application or for any questions they may have.
