General Dentistry Tips: What Is CareCredit?

Dental insurance isn’t always readily available to you or those under your care. It may be that your employer doesn’t offer it, you can’t find an affordable plan, you are waiting for your dental coverage to begin, and other reasons. No matter the reason, the care of your teeth is still important and costs may arise to care for them and to fix any issues you may have. You never know when a dental expense might arise and it’s important to be prepared for it.

Luckily, there is an option for those who need important work done on their teeth yet lack dental insurance to pay for it. CareCredit is healthcare credit card designed to help you and your family pay for dental and healthcare costs without having to wait for funds to become available. With CareCredit, you can pay for your dental costs in smaller monthly payments that work for you and your family. You won’t have to pay one large sum of money up front and will have more time to pay off your dental costs.

Another great benefit of CareCredit, is that it doesn’t only pay for emergency dental procedures. CareCredit pays for a variety of dental care treatments from large to small. Here are some of the preventative dental care treatments and procedures you can use CareCredit to pay for:

•  6-month check-ups
