My Story: England Transplant Pays His First U.S. Dental Bill

Paul Needed to Fix His Dental Pain Fast

Paul's job involves managing large projects for cruise ships, so he has to be able to concentrate. But when he woke up with throbbing pain in his jaw, he knew he had to do something fast. This was the worst pain he had felt, and it was definitely going to affect his work.

He decided to see a dentist that very day. But Paul had no idea what was in store.

After getting X-rays and a thorough checkup, he learned what was wrong: he needed two root canals and two crowns. And because he was in so much pain, Paul needed that work done ASAP.

But it wasn't going to be cheap. Originally from England, Paul had never seen an itemized bill for dental work before. He had no idea how he was going to pay to get everything done.

That's when his dentist told him about the CareCredit credit card. Paul applied right then and there. He was quickly approved and back in the dentist’s chair, getting the treatment he desperately needed.

Thanks to the CareCredit credit card, Paul didn't have to live in intense pain. Instead, he was able to get right back to his job.

Today, he's recommended the card to other friends who have come to the United States, so they can get the same help that he did.

"Thank you CareCredit for getting me pain-free and back to the life I love!" he says.
