Dentist (Footles)

tooth ache
                nerves shake
                                  dentist drilling
                                                      tooth filling
                                                                     Gum  numb
                                                                                     works done.

This footle is different from my other posts but based on a true story 
I went to the dentist last year  and she said  I needed two fillings but on one tooth she then  
said the 
hole was too deep to fill and would have to be taken out, I panicked and  said no I dont 
think so as i was scared at that time as my mother pulled some loose teeth when I was little 
with a towel, , I went for prayer at church afterwards.  I found  a new dentist and when I  
explained what happened he looked at my tooth and said their is no hole, he took an x ray 
and still no hole, it was gone, I did not need a filling in the first place, that other dentist was 
willing to take it out for the sake of it, but God was still looking after me, I took a step of faith 
to step out and go to a new dentist and God did the rest, it is amazing what he can do, we 
can move mountains even if our faith is as small as a mustard seed. if we trust God  and 
believe he can sort out any problem either big or small , he heals us  I am no longer scared 
of dentists  and I still have all my  teeth not  a single one missing, , Amen

I really like your poem. I have had to have root canal work on two teeth and it is no fun. I never thought about praying for healing in this area but God can work miracles in everything. I need your prayers and other poets for my grandson. He is in a situation that is not good and he and we need a miracle. Sara

I am terrified of the dentist and was for many years,went about a year ago and it wasn't so bad, I had my wisdom teeth pulled but when they started talking about root canals and what I had heard about them and how painful they were. I was like no...I don't think so. I was told I had to have surgery again to remove an ovarian cyst, the doctor didn't want to try antibiotics he said they would not work, I refused surgery and took the medicine and guess what? It worked!! Nice Job. GB, Tyesha

I feel for you. Just the word dentist terrifies me from childhood trauma with one. Glad all is well. Love, Shar
