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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a dentist appointment in which a nurse numbed my mouth. After coming home, I took a nap in which I unknowing bit through my top lip. I physically can't speak. FML
Today, I had to get three teeth pulled. That would've been fine if they were all on the same side of my mouth. Nope, two were on the upper left and one on the bottom right. I kept thinking my upper lip was gauze it was so numb, and I kept drooling like a baby. I've barely been able to eat as it's so sore. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a baby tooth which had decayed removed. After almost an hour, I came out with a numb mouth and a missing tooth for life. It was not a baby tooth. FML
Today, the dentist sneezed in my mouth. FML
Today, during a series of violent sneezes due to a cold, I bit my tongue. My tongue is now so swollen I cannot close my mouth and am drooling profusely. I have to get ready to go to my job as a cashier. 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, after a dental appointment, my lips were numb. On the bus on my way back home, the cutest girl smiled at me. In attempt to smile back, I forgot my lips were numb and ended up spitting my chewing gum at her. I had to switch buses. 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, the dentist had to give me a lot of novacaine because my mouth wasn't becoming numb. After the 4th time the entire right side of my mouth was numb, except for the 2 teeth getting worked on. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can't believe it took THIS many comments before someone mentioned this.

That may have been the only day OP could get an appointment. Or it was booked six months in advance if it was supposed to be just a checkup.

It doesn't mention her age though. She may very well be in high school...In the case of young teens, the parents often are the ones to arrange appointments. Also, sometimes dentist appointments can be made WAY ahead of time, from 3-6 months, and sometimes even a year in advance.

"I ended up having some work done..." implies that they weren't expecting it. A lot of dentists' work is unexpected fillings or root canals immediately after a cleaning. OP probably just had a routine appointment and the doctor offered to do some needed work before the decay progressed.

To get rid of numbness my dentist told me to drink caffeine, like coffee or a soda. It kind of negates going to the dentist, but I works. My numbness was gone it 40 minutes.

That's quite amazing, considering lidocaine only lasts for about an hour or so.

would it not depend on how much they pump into you? whenever I have freezing done at the dentist, I require extra, fun times! Usually about 2 or 3 hours later I can find myself forgetting about it, popping in some gum and then accidentally chewing on the inside of my cheek.

Everyone reacts differently to lidocaine. I've had it wear off during a filling before, so I require almost 3 times the amount my doctor gives his other patients.

Did the school call you on the way out of the dentist like 'surprise, school pics in 2 hours'? Don't worry, you'll look back and laugh about this in a year.

you should plan next time... maybe go after you got your picture taken I'm assuming you didn't know you had to get stuff done though
