Testimonies of Healing

When I went to a dentist in ...

From the April 1996 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When I went to a dentist in 1985 for a routine tooth cleaning, I was informed that my two front teeth should be extracted. I immediately said, "No!" The dentist then sent me to two other dentists who agreed with his recommendation.

After leaving the third dentist, I went to the nearest Christian Science Reading Room. I sat quietly and prayed to God to tell me what I should know about His law that would act to correct this situation. It soon became clear to me that Truth, God, has no error—that there is no truth in error. I reasoned that I am an idea created by God, His reflection, so I could manifest only what is good and perfect.

I don't know exactly when the healing occurred, but since then I have been eating corn on the cob and apples with no trouble at all. Now, years after the dentist urged extraction, I still have all my teeth, and I rejoice daily.
