I didn’t need to have my wisdom teeth removed.

The news from my dentist wasn’t good. After taking X-rays of my developing wisdom teeth during my regular dental cleaning, he told me that one of them was impacted and that I needed to make an appointment with an oral surgeon to have all my wisdom teeth removed. If I had one removed, he told me, then all of them should go. 

I’d had a tooth extracted before, and after that experience, I’d decided it wasn’t a route I wanted to take again. When I told the dentist this, he wrote on my chart that I had refused treatment, and told me that the only thing that could save this tooth was divine intervention. Well, that was exactly what I was counting on!

The dentist told me that the only thing that could save this tooth was divine intervention.
