Today, I was at the dentist getting a cavity fixed for the first time. The dentist showed me the drill and other tools, and referred to them as things like "Mr. Bumpy Brush". I'm 15. She thought I was "special". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the dentist getting a cavity filled. As she's drilling into my tooth, I feel the drill slip, and then she quickly stuffs gauze into my mouth. She nervously laughs and says to me "Wow! You must really be numb!" FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. As the dentist was drilling, he accidentally hit a nerve and I ended up screaming in pain. The whole office heard me and now I'm too embarrassed to go back. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled. The nurse just finished taking my info when the doctor came in and started drilling. Through my chorus of screams he realized he'd forgotten to numb me. His only response was, "Guess I forgot to numb ya, huh?" while giggling. FML
Today, I finally heard a woman tell me "I've never seen one so big before!" Too bad it was my dentist talking about one of my cavities. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a filling. Instead of giving me Novocaine, my dentist decided he was going to use a special new paste on me while he drilled. It didn't work. FML
Today, I woke up with a terrible toothache and called my mother for a lift to the dentist. This super cute dentist chick enters and says, "Nice to meet you, your mother just told me you're afraid of dentists?" I'm 29. 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, 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 was having drilling work done on my teeth. My dentist slipped and drilled a hole in my cheek. I said mistakes happen, but that I didn't expect to pay for the work. They still billed me for it and sent me a prescription that I had to go and get (and pay for) in case it got infected. FML
Today, at the dentist, I was trying to make myself comfortable while he did his thing to my teeth. While my mouth was full of tools, he asked, “So how’s your day going so far?” My reply came out as, “Mrrgh purr blobby noff nay blobby blobby.” The dentist laughed and said, “I was kidding, you’re not supposed to talk right now.” FML

You should get back at her by licking her fingers when they're in your mouth

It's sad how most everyone who's commented is calling the dentist a "he" it's clearly stated it was a woman.

Last I checked, a cavity is an empty space. How do you "remove a cavity"? Or maybe I'm just being a pedantic bastard.

that was my thought too. if you went into the dentist saying you needed a cavity removed that may be why she thought you were special. Either that or maybe OP talks like teenagers type, that would do it for me.

A dental cary is an infection. There IS something to remove - decayed enamel. "Cavity" is not a correct dental term

umm dentists called the hole made by bacteria a cavity
Pigeon89 34
Yes caries= the destruction of tooth tissue. After a certain point the enamel is no longer supported by the weakened dentine under it and a cavity is formed- so yes cavity *is* a term we use. And to the lovely Doc-maybe OP thought that as the cavity is filled it's no longer a cavity and has therefore been "removed"? But no, you're right- they should have said they were having the cavity filled x

To be fair, OP did say he was there getting a cavity 'fixed' not 'removed'.

Maybe it was because you think a cavity gets removed instead of filled.

I came to the comment page to remark that they never remove my cavities, they just fill them. Then I saw that everybody else is making the same comment. It's official...I'm a troll. I feel an FML coming on.

Hope it went well... He has so many patients he might just do that out of reaction...

Oh. I forgot to say that many people say "cavities" when they mean fillings. At least Ive heard people do that. And it's not unusual to have fillings removed and replaced. I guess that's just waht I thought OP was talking about.

You are "special" if you think a cavity is "removed."
Zebediabolical 45
I'm pretty sure OP said 'fixed' not 'removed'

You're late to the party. It said "getting a cavity removed for the first time" before the FML was edited (presumably by FML staff).
