God's Dental Assistant?

Shaila  D Touchton

The 50-year-old West Virginia evangelist, who describes himself as "an interdenominational Christian," will pray for the sick and lame, but it's cracked molars, crooked teeth, toothaches and amalgam fillings that he believes are his calling.

Since he began praying for teeth in 1987, the former coal miner and amateur boxer says he has seen crooked teeth straighten in slow motion, cracked teeth heal, and blackened amalgam fillings turn to silver and gold.

Jones' claims have led to him being dubbed the "spiritual tooth fairy" and "God's dental assistant." But he is not the only evangelist tending to followers' teeth and claiming alchemistic results.

Known as the "gold fillings" phenomenon, worshippers across North America, Asia and the United Kingdom have reported that precious metals -- some in the shape of the cross -- have appeared in their teeth after visiting healers.

"Healing teeth is funny, but turning water into wine is funny, spitting on the ground and putting it in a man's eyes is funny," Jones said.

Born and raised in the Appalachian coal fields in West Virginia, Jones said he has always felt the need to pray for others.But the urge to pray for teeth came in later.

    Interesting. This must open many doors for him to bear witness for Jesus as lord and savior to his clients.
