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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

The reason so many dipshits in the usa have jobs is because they are the only ones willing to work a lot of hours for shit pay.

Wow. What an idiot. Although it's not nearly as bad as your story, a couple months ago one of the ladies who works at my orthodontist's office was changing my rubber band on the bracket. [that's what it is, right?] Anyway, she kept slipping on one tooth and it cut up my gum. So now that my braces are off [yaaaay!] the gum around that tooth is still swollen. It's disgusting and a little painful when brushing. Obviously I wasn't in nearly as much pain as you were, OP, but it just goes to show you that there are always stupid people at dental practices that the doctor could definitely get rid of.

If this is true, I'm realllllly sorry to hear about it. :( Jeez. She needs the **** sued out of her. She sounds incredibly stupid (and that's under-stating it). How do people like her even pass university classes to get their certification?!

You should have spit your blood in her mouth and told her you had AIDS. What a ******* idiot.

I'm not scared of going to the dentist or anything. I can usually endure the pain but this STUPID assistant just makes me angry. AAH. Even though I'm not in your position, I feel the need to just smack her a little bit... or A LOT.

how the HELL did that airhead assistant get hired in the first place? if you work in a dentist office, you should know about permanent retainers. they put that on everyone after they take off braces. its not like hes the only one in the world with a permanent retainer
