I had a recent trip to the dentist...YIKES! It's been about 6 years since I've seen one! I know bad girl but when finiances are tight it's one of the things that can be skipped.
Well now we are going to be paying for! I have about $5000 worth of work that needs to be done in the very near future! I'm hoping to make it a year but I don't think that is the timeline the dentist would approve of.
With Christmas around the corner and having to add travel expenses into the cost of the holiday season since we moved it makes saving anything extra more difficult. Not to mention that the slow season is coming for my hubby's job so we need to stock pile anything extra to just get through until the busy season picks up early spring.
So with having to wait so long I don't want to just sit and hope for God to send me a miracle. I'm not saying that he wouldn't do it. It might be if that's what he has planned but my thought is there has to be something I can to help improve my teeth. Maybe God's miracle is already here I just have to use it.
I'm going to start oil pulling, religiously! Which only means that I'm going to commit to doing it every morning when I wake up for 20 minutes.
I see several benefits to this!
1.) If even half my teeth improve that is saving us half of that $5000 that they say I need done now. So I'd say that is a win!
2.) I'm not a morning person and if I'm swishing oil around in my mouth for the first 20 minutes in the morning then that means that I can't engage in any type of conversation without being aloud to wake up a little! Bonus!
I also made a bet with my hubby...if I save us money by doing oil pulling he owes me a HUGE date night! Like mani/pedi, dinner, maybe a show or a trip down to Dallas (if the Ebola virus hasn't wiped it out by then)!
So here's to hoping that coconut oil is God's miracle waiting to happen to this mouth!
These are not my pretty teeth :)
