Can I deduct dental expenses if a family member paid for it?

I am in my 60's, my Mom gave me her credit card to help cover some of the dental expenses I had in 2023.  The card is paid off via her checking account where I am a joint holder on that account.  Can I declare those dental expenses on my taxes?  I am aware of the 7.5% I need to have which I will easily exceed with all my medical expenses this past year.
