Health: Today, I was at dentist to get impressions made. The hygienist...

Today, I was at dentist to get impressions made. The hygienist put way too much of the plaster stuff on the press. She put it in my mouth and asked if I was okay, I shook my head no and promptly vomited. It sat at the back of my throat and I could not spit it out until the plaster hardened. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was at my job as a dental assistant and I was told to take an X-ray of a woman's teeth. As soon as I put the foam piece into her mouth, she projectile-vomited all over me and the floor. I had just started my 5-hour shift. FML

Gag reflex

Today, my dentist applied a paste on my teeth to make them more resistant. It tasted so disgustingly like artificial banana that I had to throw up. I'm not allowed to brush my teeth, drink or eat for 4 hours. FML

Today, I went to the dentist. She had a tool that sucks up saliva, and put it in my mouth. She told me to close my mouth, and I did. Turns out she forgot to turn it on, causing my saliva to go all over my face. I had to sit like that for the rest of the visit. FML

Jaws

Today, I was violently sick. There was so much vomit forcing itself out that I dislocated my jaw. I continued throwing up with a dislocated jaw for an hour or so. FML

Today, I was treating a patient at the hospital where I'm a dentist. This particular gentleman was old and slightly deaf. After completing the procedure I gestured to the spitoon and asked him to spit. He got up, steadied himself, and spat straight in my face. FML

Today, I was at the dentist. I ended up having some work done and left with a numb mouth. I have school pictures in less than 2 hours and I can neither smile nor stop drooling everywhere. FML

Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML

Today, I went to the orthodontist to have my braces worked on. I accidentally swallowed some of the cleaning solution she used. She told me it would probably give me an upset stomach. Apparently, an upset stomach and crapping your pants means the same thing to an orthodontist. FML

Today, I missed my dentist appointment. I couldn't attend, because I was too busy puking my guts up due to a bad reaction to the pain medication I'm taking for my toothache. FML

It might be kinda rude or cause you to pay extra, but honestly I would have spit it out no matter what she told me.

The FML clearly says he 'couldn't' spit it out. So even if you wanted to, you couldn't.

its quite common to gag or throw up n they arent actually supposed to take the impression out until it sets because if they do u'll have all the plaster stuff will get stuck in ur mouth and will take a very long time to clean it later. so its not their fault

You hold your breath...they hold the plaster there for a matter of seconds, not minutes. I've had several impressions done since I was a kid. I've definitely gagged a couple of times and I also had plaster go into my throat and swallowed a big chunk of it as a reflex when the impression was removed. Fun times.

It's algaenate....takes several minutes to harden. Sucks if you have a gag factor. Had a boy pull out his Ortho tray 3 times ....and he still had to gag as it hardened. Plaster would take ages, algaenate cures quick and is what we use to make the plaster mold. It's not a fun process.
