Today, I was being driven to get my wisdom teeth removed and I was panicking all the way there. When we got to the office, I was told that I'd been brought in on the wrong day, and that I have to do this all over again tomorrow. FML

Extreme late fees

Today, I had an appointment to pull some wisdom teeth. I wrote the wrong time in my calendar. Showed up an hour late and they didn't pull the one tooth that actually hurts. Now I've got the pay for the time I was late, plus wait until November to pull the rest. I waited 5 months for this appointment due to the coronavirus. FML

Today, I went to the dentist for a tooth extraction. Not only were they not able to extract all of it, but after 7 injections, I was still screaming. The best part? Their referral to someone else fell through, so I head back tomorrow to finish the job. FML

Today, I went to the dentist after 24 hours of severe tooth pain. They did an emergency root canal. After the anesthesia wore off, within minutes, the pain returned only worse than before. Called the dentist, I had to return, only to find they had done the root canal on the wrong tooth. FML

Today, I got a root canal. It wouldn't have been that bad if the dentist hadn't performed it on the wrong tooth. FML

Today, I went to the dentist and found out I still have a wisdom tooth. I got all four out last summer… or at least I thought I did. Now I have to go back and get it removed. Again. FML

Today, after two root canal procedures done on the same tooth in last two years, the tooth had been acting up for a few days, so I went in to get it checked. Turns out, it got infected AGAIN and I gotta get a THIRD root canal done on the same tooth. FML

Today, I went to the dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. The surgeon took a better X-ray to see what he was dealing with before he got started. When he came back into the room, he started to laugh and told me it was my lucky day because in the X-rays he found 2 big extra wisdom teeth. FML

Today, my dentist called and told me that the surgery to remove my wisdom teeth - which I desperately need and saved for a year to be able to afford - will actually cost nearly $2000 more than originally stated. The surgery is supposed to be in three days. FML

F the parents lives. They are stuck with the kid forever and have to live with the embarrassment and guilt that they are clearly failing in some way at parenting.

ignore the rude people. I had all 4 of mine removed last week. I was so scared my heart was racing at 125! They put me to sleep and was finished in a half hour. There wasn't much pain other than discomfort and even then you get good meds. Just make sure you follow post op directives!

Hey, many people are scared of the dentist, and getting your wisdoms out is unpleasant at best. But when you type 'I'd been brought in on the wrong day' it sounds like you're passing the buck for getting the day wrong. You need to be responsible for reading your appointment correctly, not the driver who is giving up their time to help you out. Hope you learned from this for the future. And try to relax about the teeth, it'll all be over before you know it.

The anticipation is worse than the actual event so I understand what a let down it is to mentally prep yourself then find your relief has been postponed. I won't say it's easy because some people have complications and everyone's pain threshhold is different. But I think I can safely say that it won't be as bad as you're imagining it will be. Still, YDI for not keeping track of your appointments. You made things a little harder on yourself.
