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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

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

Great. I'm supposed to go to the dentist in about two hours. This was just what I needed to read. Though I don't have a permanent retainer so I guess I'm safe. Anyway, FYL. I cringed when I read this... you should definitely sue.

To all the people saying sue...she shouldn't sue. The dentist should either put the retainer back in for free or pay the bill to have it replaced. That ditz should probably also get fired...But if it turns out that you NEED to sue in order to have that happen, then so be it. But lawsuits are supposed to return things back to the way they were, not to be someone's ticket to easy street. My father is a surgeon, and I can't count how many times a patient has declined surgery that would fix them COMPLETELY just so that they could get more money out of their case. ******* ridiculous.

At the point when a medical professional or their assistant, who the medical professional is responsible for, made a big enough mistake that they're now responsible for fixing it for free, why the heck would you want to go back to the person or practice who screwed up like that?

TELL your dentist and get that dumbass out of there.

I seriously hope that you asked for a different assistant to help with the extraction. If she didn't get fired, I would say sue her. FYL.

for future references, don't let any dentist/dental assistant who uses the word "thing" anywhere near your mouth. D:

Who are the ******* mentally retarded people clicking the button that this person deserved it? It's not funny, and it will never be funny. I don't know what goes on through these people's heads when they do it, but I don't think anything does. Anyway, I got that out, but as for this person: That is just terrible. I hope somehow you could sue her or that she at least got fired. I'm not a dental assistant and I wouldn't even start pulling at something without knowing what it is.
