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, I sneezed while I was in the middle of getting a root canal. I managed to warn the dentist that I was going to sneeze, but he didn't manage to get the tools out of my mouth in time. 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 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

The whole tooth and nothing but the tooth

Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The local anesthesia worked on three of the four teeth. I found out about the last tooth when the dentist was mid-yank. FML

Today, at the dentist, I was getting my teeth cleaned. Looking up at his nose, I saw runny snot dripping onto his lip. I tried to slowly move away. He told me "Stop!" The movement of his lips caused the snot to fall right into my mouth. 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

Oops

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 had all of my wisdom teeth removed. After the anesthesia wore off, I asked how long the procedure took, and the nurse told me a little less than an hour. Apparently I thought this was hilarious and started laughing, which ripped my new stitches. 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

You complained to them, or even worse, sued them, right? Dentists have always scared me, even more now after reading this. That's why doctors/dentists/whatever go through YEARS of university, to make sure they're almost perfect at their jobs. People like, brain surgeons, can't screw up or someone could die. Of course, dentists don't really have life/death situations but still, ouch. That guy should lose his job.

I'm surprised to read this... in 21 years i have never had stitches after getting teeth pulled. my dad's coming up to 50 and he hasn't ever had stitches after having teeth pulled... and he doesn't have many of his left. (terrible teeth) and you went to get your tooth pulled. it got pulled. a Kiwi dentist would have given you some gauze and told you to rinse with salt water, then he/she would say "thanks, k bye... no seriously... f*** off"

D: That makes me worry. I despise my dentist. She's so clumsy and it makes me nervous whenever she's using the hook thing. I have braces and one time she was using the thing that pulls the rubber band over the bracket, and her hand slipped and hit my upper lip, causing the inner part to collide with my brackets. Hurt like hell, and all she did was say sorry. Thank God there was no bleeding or anything, but there was a nasty cut and it hurt in that area for around 3 days. :/ Number 75, wtf is your problem?
