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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 to get a cavity filled. The numbing medication didn't work, so I felt everything. I was in so much pain that I accidentally bit down on the dentist's finger, causing him to yell in agony. Now, I have to find a new dentist. FML
Today, my dentist pulled the wrong tooth. FML
Today, I went to a new dentist because I've been experiencing occasional toothache. Upon seeing my x-rays, he noticed something odd. Apparently, during a root canal a while ago, a piece of an instrument broke off, and has been lodged within ever since. FML
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 dentist to have two cavities filled. I hate going to the dentist. After he'd started drilling, I heard a "clunk" noise followed by an "Oops." My dentist had cut my tooth in half. Now I have to get surgery to have the tooth extracted. FML
Today, I went to get some teeth pulled. I had Novocaine in my gums and lip so I couldn't feel a thing. When the doctor is pulling out the last tooth, he sneezes and pulls the tooth out. He looks in my mouth and I hear, "Oh, shit..." I now have stitches in my mouth. FML
Today, my dentist dropped my bite plate for x-rays on the ground, picked it up, looked at it intently, took a couple of hairs off, and shoved it back into my mouth. 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. I had to get a tooth removed. In the middle of the procedure, the power went out. I had to sit there for an hour to wait for it to come back on. The anesthetic wore off before he started working on me again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I almost don't believe the story because these retainers are attached to the teeth with a composite resin that is light cured. It would take quite a bit of force with some kind of forcep to pull it out. At some point the OP would have at least asked what the Assistant was doing. Right. Guess not. I mean if some one was pulling hard on your jaw wouldn't you at lewast ask that person to sop? I mean it's not like it just pops off, they're very secure.

I took it to mean that she didn't SUCCEED in pulling out the retainer, and instead basically stabbed the poor person in the mouth with the forceps or whatever she was using... Plus, a dental assistant as dumb as this one probably wouldn't have taken more than a few seconds before she messed up and cut the person, so it wouldn't be out of the question, I don't think. I don't know about you but I find it kind of difficult to talk when someone's hand and/or sharp shiny tool is in my mouth. OP, I feel so sorry for you, and hope you at very least complained!

They're not always as secure as you think. I had one, and after the end of the glue stuff got chipped, I ripped the whole wire out at home. Wasn't too hard, didn't affect my teeth at all either.

Agreeing with #45. I had one for years. About a year after having it put in, I bit down on a hard bit of pretzel and half of it just broke off.

Yes, FYL. That's ridiculous. As an aside, is the OP in the US? "Airy", though technically ok, isn't usually used to describe people. I'm not playing Grammar Nazi to be a jerk; I'm wondering if this is a European thing. I can't see profiles on my iPhone. The word just feels awkward.

Just because you don't know what a word means doesn't mean other Americans are equally ignorant. Trust me, despite the fact that you seem to be unfamiliar with the word, it's common.

Airy can be used to describe people... as in putting on airs - snobbish or possibly stupid in this case.

Actually, I think the OP meant she was "airy" as in "airheaded."

Yeah, I think when the OP said airy, she meant stupid.
