Routine Dental Care

Christine first learned about CareCredit during a routine dental exam. The year before, her dentist had found some cavities, but Christine put off getting them filled due to the cost. When it became evident that she could no longer wait, Christine still didn't have dental insurance or the financial means to pay for the fillings all at once.

That's when the dental office told her about CareCredit as an option to pay for the procedure. Christine said the application process was very easy and she “appreciated it so much it brought me to tears." She was then able to get the three fillings she needed to fill her cavities and prevent the need for more dental work on those teeth.

Christine is thankful that the CareCredit credit card offered her the freedom to get the dental care she needed—and that she can use it for her family as well. Her 13-year-old son has a dental check-up coming up and Christine anticipates that he may also need some dental work done.

Now Christine tells her friends and family about CareCredit and how it gave her the relief to be able to get her routine care taken care of.
