Teeth back to normal
Last year, the teeth in the back of my mouth began to feel loose. Over several days the condition got worse, to the point where I could feel them jiggling every time I took a step. I was fearful that something had loosened my teeth and that they might fall out.
I didn’t ignore the situation—I responded directly to it with prayer. As I reached out to God, this sentence in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy came to thought and seemed so perfect for the situation: “Adhesion, cohesion, and attraction are properties of Mind. They belong to divine Principle, and support the equipoise of that thought-force, which launched the earth in its orbit and said to the proud wave, ‘Thus far and no farther’ ” (p. 124). My teeth couldn’t be out of place; they were firmly right where they should be as an idea of God, divine Mind.
The next day the jiggling stopped and my teeth were back to normal. They were firmly in place and I could eat normally. The condition has not recurred. I’m so grateful for this healing and to Christian Science.
