Today, I went to my dentist of four years. After the cleaning, the hygienist and I scheduled my next appointment, and she briefly left the room, leaving my file open on the computer. The data in a field called "NOTE" caught my eye: "Sissy. Freak. Always late. Ask about family or will flirt." FML

Today, I overheard a coworker talking about going to what sounded like a dentist's appointment. As she left later, I jokingly said, "Remember to open wide!" Turned out her appointment was with her OB/GYN, not a dentist. FML

Today, after spending almost an hour in the dentist's waiting room, watching other people get called in for their appointments, I finally lost my patience and asked the receptionist what was taking so long. I'd forgotten to sign in. FML

Today, I went to the school dentist for the yearly routine check. She took ages trying to clean out my teeth with the metal toothpick-thing, constantly hitting my gums. After half an hour of pain and spitting blood, she looks up and says, laughing: "Oh, I forgot to put my glasses on". FML

Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As I was leaving, the receptionist told me to "have a nice day" and I replied, "You too, love you!" then I went back home and roasted in the embarrassment for an hour or two. FML

Today, I went to the dentist; no one was in the waiting room so I danced around and mouthed songs that were on the radio. It wasn't till after I went to the counter and saw the receptionists laughing like a pack of hyenas that I realized there was a camera. FML

Today, I rushed to a dentist's appointment. Once in the chair, I apologized for not having had the time to brush my teeth beforehand. He responded with, "Ah that's alright, I just took a piss and forgot to wash my hands." FML

Today, I went to the dentist. I got a new dentist who started out a conversation about school. She asked where I went to school and if I liked my principal. After I told her I thought he was full of himself, she said she was married to him. FML

Today, I went to my new dentist to get my teeth cleaned. He kept getting distracted, causing him to repeatedly stab me in the gums. He then had the nerve to tell me that I need to brush more, due to how I was bleeding just from his "routine examination". FML

Today, I went to see my new dentist. He was really cute, so after the checkup I started flirting. He stopped me right after I asked him out, saying, "Being a dentist has its advantages, I can see the girl's mouth before I stick my tongue in it. And in your case, it's a big no." FML

Today, I went to see my gynecologist. She was writing my symptoms up in my chart on her computer. After a little while, I noticed that she had a confused look on her face and was reading something instead. When I took a peek at the computer screen, I saw that she was Googling my symptoms. FML

When they tell you to open your mouth, you shouldn't start flicking your tongue around while bursting into tears. Do one or the other, but not both.

Unfortunately they don't always realize that they should stop when they reach a certain age *shudder*

I used to work for a dentist and was shocked at the horrible things the staff would say about patients

When I broke my ankle, I went to the doctor. He left his computer file on me open too and it said "Patient is a big boy". When he came back in I said, "HEY HEY HEY!" like Fat Albert. He was completely embarrassed, so I suggest going into the dentist office and making a joke out of it. You'll love the expression of "oh shit!" on their faces, ha.

Well, are they right? I'm not saying it was very professional of them, but doctors and nurses are people, too. If you have to deal with an a**hole patient on a regular basis, it could help to leave notes for the other staff, so that they're prepared. Again, not professional, but it is understandable.

My hygienist is from Russia. She's so hot.

Working in a similar field this is not ok! Not only is it not appropriate but these "notes" have to be given in the event of any lawsuit regarding malpractice or otherwise. I'm not saying sue them because more than likely it is not the fault of the DDS but rather his/her lackluster staff. Bring it to the attention of the OM (office manager) what you saw and if they do not formally apologize and make amends then find a different dentist. Not meaning to downplay a doctor, but Dentists are just people who failed to get into a specialty and are a dime a dozen. Good luck.

You clearly have no idea how the education of doctors and dentists works. Dentistry is a completely different degree. Please get your facts straight and refrain from demeaning people who have worked hard to study a field of their choosing.
