Tatum had scoliosis for 12 years and as it progressively worsened, she needed to get surgery. It turned out, to limit the chance of infection, she needed to get some pretty hefty (and pricey) dental work before the surgery: two root canals, two teeth pulled, AND a deep cleaning...for a grand total of $5,000! That’s not what you want to hear when prepping for scoliosis surgery! Tatum’s mom, Candy, was worried they would not be able to afford both procedures. That’s when the dental office associate recommended the CareCredit credit card, and with the help of #CareCredit, Candy was able to ensure that Tatum was taken care of.
