Uncomfortably numb

By someone - 02/09/2009 11:00 - Denmark

Today, I went to the dentist to get a hole in my tooth filled. After the dentist had injected the anesthetic into my gums, she realized that none of the electrical equipment was working. She sent me home. My entire right side of my face is completely numb and swollen for no reason. FML

"Today I went to the dentist and nothing happened." Not an FML.

Ooo yeah you're right! It would have been MUCH worse the other way around! So be thankful :)

Seriously, why complain? I used to work as a volunteer dental assistant, and I was a patient as well. Your face doesn't swell from the numbing injections. It just feels that way to you because you're numb.

Totally agree. This is not a big deal, or even a medium deal.

seriously i definitely agree. not only is your face being numb no big deal, you were getting a cavity filled...youre face will return to normal in a few hours or less. imagine getting the drugs for your wisdom teeth or a root canal and then going home. you will be feeling those for half a day and thats actually a FML cause you cant eat or drink anything without it falling out of your mouth lol

at least if someone punches you in the face, you won't feel that much pain.

why wouldn't she check before she decided to inject something into your gums?

lol. not an FML. It goes away in a few hours. Not like you are paralyzed for life, or got a broken arm because of something stupid. Sheesh, what's with the mods approving these lame FMLs. They are getting old now.

At least it's not a repeat. But still a lame FML. It IS an FML because now he has to go back and get the shots again, ewww - I HATE shots!!!!

Today i was ready to fill the decayed teeth that my patient had. So i injected her to ease the pain. By an act purely beyond me, the power went out. I couldn't just leave her waiting so i sent her home. Poor thing. But then i read FML and saw what an unappreciative little bitch she really is. It's not like i planned the whole thing. Next time, the bitch is going down, no injection. Js drilling. Then she'd have something to bitch about!

Bullshit. The dentist is expected to check the equipment before each procedure. But this isn't really a big deal unless the dentist expected you to pay for it.

Not funny. Reverse FMLs, especially those insulting the OP for no real reason, aren't funny.

#36, agreed. Even though #7 was one of the better reverse FMLs. I used to see several reverses on every single FML, and they weren't funny or even well written. AT ALL.

This is, in no way, an FML. That numb feeling can be pretty damn entertaining while it lasts. Cry me a river.
