I'm sorry you are having dental issues, and what happened to your dog, but Care Credit does not guarantee everyone will be approved.

Do you have a local health department, that could provide you with the name and number of dentists who do perform dental work at a much less cost, for those who need a hand up? Or how about looking for a dental school in Nashville, that will provide dental work, at a much reduced rate?

Abscesses are nothing to fool around with, and can be dangerous to your health. Please don't give up, there are other options, like I mentioned, you just have to do your research.

Good luck.

Care credit has fairly stringent credit requirements for approval. Any negative marks on your credit profile will basically get a denial from them and/or a request for a cosigner.

It is unfortunate that the state of health care in this country is in such disarray. Dental insurance, in most cases is expensive even if partially paid by an employer and the limitations for service for issues such as abscesses, extraction or root canals use up you annual allowance almost immediately.

Are there any Dental colleges in your area? They someone's work with the local community treating low income/uninsured patients.
