Something weird happened at the dentist today.

So what am I supposed to do about her tooth? I don't know a dentist.

Not a conspiracy except for the fact that:

1) You are correct about root canals. They plan on killing the tooth, inserting a post into the bone which will loosen over time while covering the now dead tooth with a crown which will decay and fall out years later. Source: It's happened to me twice.

2) There is no money to be made in pulling teeth and all of the dentists have stopped doing it except a handful of OLDER dentists which will soon be retired.

So I took my kid to the dentist today and the dentist said she needed a root canal. I said nope, I don't believe in root canals and i wanted him to just pull it. He said out of good conscious he would not. Then a dental assistant passed by the door and asked the dentist if everything was okay and asked if he needed someone in the room with him. We were just talking so that was weird. Then the dentist left and said someone would be in to bring me referral papers.

I hadnt raised my voice or anything. Then a dental assistant walks in and lays a professional walkie talkie looking think down on the counter. About five minutes go by then someone walks in with a piece of paper and says... So you are refusing to get the root canal because you don't believe in them and then paused and looked at me. I said in a very low voice "and"... She then looked down at the papers and said so we are referring you to so and so. She handed me the papers and I walked out the door.

Why in the world did they set that walkie talkie down. I assume it was to record me and that the lady giving me the papers was trying to get me to admit to something. That's why I just said "and".

Oh, and I can't find a dentist that will just pull her tooth.

Stay strong! You did the right thing! We are not to conform to the pattern of this world and root canals are definitely not something we should get!

We had a dental issue a couple of years ago where all three of my sons had their wisdom teeth come in at the same time (twins and a younger brother). We didn't have the dental insurance to cover getting them all removed and it would have cost us over $12,000 per current dental rates. They were complaining about alot of pain and discomfort so I knew we had to do something.

I am a follower of YahuShua/Jesus Christ and believe that when we Trust Him and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will direct our path. So I acknowledged Him in this and asked what we could do. That was when I was reminded of the verse in James 4:2 that says "...you don't have because you don't ask". So right then I prayed and I asked God to dissolve their wisdom teeth in their mouths so their pain would be gone and we don't have to have them removed. In my prayer, I mentioned that since God made their teeth, would He please remove them that our faith in Him would be strengthened and their pain would be gone.

It wasn't instant, took about a year, but now none of my boys have their wisdom teeth anymore. They are just...gone. My family's faith in God's goodness and provision is strengthened and all the pain my sons were feeling is gone. God is SO good!

I say all of this because the time is coming and is now here when God will call on His children to heal the sick, raise the dead, multiply food to feed the hungry...things His son YahuShua/Jesus did and more. Because we will not conform to the pattern of this world and take their poison, we will not be allowed to go to hospitals for medical care or grocery stores for food but God will provide! Use this time to strengthen your faith. Lay hands on your daughter and pray for God to heal that tooth, In YahuShua/Jesus' mighty Name! Do not doubt that God loves you and her and it is His will that we are not sick and that our faith be strengthened. When we pray according to His will in His Son's Name (and are NOT DOUBLE-MINDED meaning doubtful), His Word says He will do it (John 14:13). Then, when the time comes and you are surrounded by the sick and dying, you know first-hand what He is capable of and He can better use you!

“And whatsoever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” John 14:13-14

"But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.…" James 1:6-8

This was my post. Oil of oregano will also help with the tooth pain while killing any infection. Immediate relief, at least it did for me.

I use oil of oregano and it burns like hell. How can I get my kid to use it?

Serious question OP....why wouldn't you get her the root canal? Lets say your kid is under 16...I've had a root canal done on a front lower tooth everyone sees when I was 20...more than 30 years ago! Zero problems! If you pull 1 tooth all the rest will start moving.

Do the root canal, let your kid keep her real functioning tooth and let them decide when they're over 18 if if they want it pulled.


No bagging on you....just some serious parent advice

How old is she and which tooth?

What's crazy is they pretend to care so much but then they can't seem to do anything about a hurting tooth until you come in and let them examine it and then they have to make another appointment that will be weeks later to do anything. The dental industry has turned to trash since I was a child.

They all want to do root canals. I've called around. I can't find anyone to just pull it.

Be REALLY CAREFUL, OP. What they wanted to do was call Child Protecton on you and say that you’re taking irrational decisions for your child that are the equivalent of abuse. It’s happening more and more where a parent decides not to do a root canal or not vaccinate a child and it results in child welfare taking them away.

At this point, I keep my children away from any and all medical professionals unless I have a very good relationship with them.
