Thanks again for prayers for me & my friend Beth. She has a dead tooth that has turned black. Her dentist would prefer that she would get a root canal & a crown, but she is planning to have the tooth pulled & to get a bridge later, since that would be less expensive. In my experience of some years ago, the dental hygienist kept telling me I had to either have a root canal & a crown or have my bad tooth extracted. I regret that I had the tooth pulled. Anyway, I hope she will have more control of her finances in the future. And I pray the same for myself.
