One evening as I was getting ready to go out to dinner with my husband, I began to feel a pain in one of my back teeth. In the past I had frequently had problems with my teeth and with gum disease. The pain quickly worsened, and I began fearing that I would need to go to a dentist and undergo another root canal. I had spent thousands of dollars on dental work, each time thinking that if I got "this one" fixed, I would have no more problems. After each experience, I would vow to take better care of my teeth.
As a Christian Scientist, I knew that prayer could heal this problem, but I had felt I did not have the necessary experience to deal with it.
