Demonstrations in Dentistry

Margaret M. Ellison

I had some teeth filled, one nerve extracted, and two teeth drawn without a touch of pain. The dentist prophesied a great deal of pain in extracting the nerve, but I knew God's law was more powerful than any law of dentistry and I felt no pain at all, although he probed several times before getting the nerve.

I have been many times with patients to the dentist, and with two exceptions, the patient has felt no painful sensation whatever. The first case I had was a woman whose teeth were so hard to draw the dentist said he could not get them out. She came for treatment, and then went again. He managed to draw them, but they came very hard. He asked her how she managed to stand it. She told him, much to his surprise, that it was painless, and explained the kind of treatment she had had.

Another, a girl, wanted all her remaining upper teeth out. They were principally roots, as the teeth had broken off. There were eleven in all. They came without pain although part of them had to be dug out.

A young lady came to me last summer. She wanted four teeth out and new ones in at once, as she did not want to have to stay at home, and as the teeth were front teeth, she did not want to be seen so disfigured. We went to the dentist by appointment, I arrived first. He was not busy at the time and came into the waiting room and asked me if I were the Christian Scientist who was going to treat Miss —. I said I was, and upon some questions being asked and answered, he said that he would do as nearly as we wanted him to as he could, but that he did not believe that both bleeding and swelling could be stopped so that she could have her teeth immediately. However, the young lady came and the four teeth were taken out without pain and the bleeding stopped at once. The dentist took an impression with very warm wax, also without pain, the gums did not swell, and the next morning she had her teeth and was wearing them without any inconvenience whatever.

I have had many more demonstrations along the same line, equally good. I want to relate an experience given in one of our Wednesday evening meetings.

A young man whose only teacher has been our text-book, Science and Health, said when he first came into Christian Science he had a great deal of trouble with aching teeth, but that he treated them and they ceased paining him. After a while he found that the cavities were filled up with new bone, and he has never had any trouble with them since. His faith in the Truth is "as a little child."

I have had many demonstrations of the power of Truth, as revealed in Christian Science, as able to destroy all our erring beliefs, be they of pleasure or pain, and I am deeply grateful to Mrs. Eddy for revealing to us the way to the divine heights of Love and Life.
