Should I cancel any future “medical attention” that has been planned for me?
I have recently been reading The Truth About HEALING. After reading it, I have wondered, should I cancel any future “medical attention” that has been planned for me? I ask this because I am supposed to have dental work done in the near future and was wondering whether I should rather cancel it and pray that God would heal the problem.

There is no need to cancel your dental appointment. One is not committing a sin when he visits the dentist for a check-up or to allow needed dental repairs, and this by no means prohibits God’s healing.
Although God does heal physical afflictions, this does not mean that we are to avoid doctors or dentists entirely.
