Can a Retail Store information on your Credit Card?

I went to my dentist and he requested information from my credit card so they can store in your database if needed to send a bill for something. As far as I know, not allowed to store information only my credit card. Thank you for your help, my state if that makes a difference is Pennsylvania.

Yes, they can and often do card information Store Credit. It is a measure of security for the merchant. If you do not pay a bill, which will charge the account on file.
