retainer United States

Today, at the dentist, the new, rather airy assistant went to prep me for an extraction. She began pulling on something in my mouth, and a moment later, I felt intense pain and then the wetness of blood. She was trying to pull out "that weird wire thing". In other words, my permanent retainer. FML

Omg, ouch. Seriously though, you'd think a dentist would know about that.

I sincerely hope that got her fired and you some free dental work and/or a settlement. I know, first hand, dental surgery sucks!

I would have stabbed her then with the "weird wire thingy."

Time to ask for a new assistant.

The dumbass needs to be fired.

I hope she gets in trouble.

FYL OP I also have the permanent retainer and than the plastic one I where at night. I've had the same dentist for a long time now and never had such an airhead of an hygienist. If she did manage to yank it off hopefully it's free to replace, because when mine snapped off it was free. I don't know if it depends on the orthodontist but hopefully it is free to replace.
