Today, I was at the orthodontist. As the lady was clipping my brackets, she missed and clipped my gums instead. She looked at me and said, "Oh sorry, you're bleeding really badly. See, I got these fake nails put on and I guess I'm just not used to them. Let me try again." She missed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the orthodontist, the nurse was checking my teeth. She asked me a question while her finger was in my mouth, and when I stupidly tried to reply, I bit her finger. 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, my orthodontist thought it would be a good idea to put braces on the teeth in the very back. One bracket popped off twice, after which he shoved a metal band in my mouth onto one of my teeth, cutting my gums, and causing gushing blood. Now, I can’t eat anything unless it’s baby food and I have a lisp. FML
Today, I went to the dentist for a routine check-up, and halfway through the appointment, the dentist exclaimed, "Oops!" Turns out, he accidentally glued my lips together while fixing a tiny chip in my front tooth. I spent the next two hours communicating through exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. She put a spongy thing on my teeth and told me to bite. Her finger was there, so I was confused and… I accidentally bit her finger. FML
Today, I was clipping my nails. When I got to my toenail, the whole thing somehow ripped right out. I'm in agony. FML
Today, while my orthodontist was working on my teeth, she made the comment, "Wow! It looks like a murder scene in there!" FML
Today, my dentist pulled the wrong tooth. 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, during a brutal two and half hour dental procedure, the dentist kept saying my gums were inflamed, and bleeding a lot. The clichéd "You need to floss more!" tirade. After she was done, my gums were purple, bruised, and had a visible cut on them. But sure, the bleeding was from me not flossing enough. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hate being "worked on" (dentist, physical therapist, etc.) by people who are incompetent or not careful.

I hate it when they put the wires in my brackets, and then clip em' way back inside my mouth. I keep thinking they are gonna clip my gum or cheek, or they will drop it outta the wire cutters and i'll swallem em' and die. lol

Fake nails are NOT allowed in the medical area- definitely should be reported, sorry about your gums :(

Ohh I know what that's like! My old dentist was never really careful, and when i was getting a filling he slipped while drilling slicing up my gum and cheek. And he was just like "Well we'll have to wait a little while for the bleeding to stop." Thanks for not caring, dick. Switch orthos haha.

complain to the top person there and see if they will give you another doctor, and if they don't , go to another orthodontist after complaining to the head person there (i'm not quite sure who that would be though)... a very similar thing happened to me as well, only after the first time she was more careful (because i tend to give off an image of being extremely likable when amongst people older than i).. they all liked me a lot so they tried to help me out as best they could. they originally didnt have the color black in retainers (the orthodontist which i went to) until i sweetly asked if they had black and orange... now they do :D

this is why i made sure my orthodonist was male. his nails were always cut short, and his head was always shaved.
