Four years ago I had some pain on one side of my mouth, and several months later a molar fell out. Then another tooth began to ache, so I asked a dentist to advise me. After his examination and an X-ray, he told me that this tooth also needed to come out, so I allowed him to extract it. At the time, there were at least two other teeth that were also causing a little discomfort.

When I returned home, I really questioned my thinking and what I trusted concerning my body. Although I respected the sincere young dentist, I knew that his educational background was in material observations and analysis relating to the human mouth and in theories concerning dental deterioration from usage and age. 

By contrast, the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, offer a spiritual view of existence and health. Psalms 56:4 declares, “In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.”
