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

No pain, no gain

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

#15, I've had 16 teeth pulled in my 17 years (when I was younger they just refused to come out on their own) and they've never had to do that. That actually sounds unnecessarily painful and weird. I think #50's story is more lawsuit-worthy than the OP's...sure, it sucks, but don't we all accidentally sneeze at the wrong moment sometimes? Or in someone's food or something?

?? this story makes no sense to me. the dentist pulled the tooth he wanted, said "oh shit" for some reason, then stitched it up. everything seems normal minus the "oh shit" part. the reason they stitch it is so you dont get some gaping hole in your jaw and so it doesnt fill with food and random shit like that. i really dont see how this is FML material.

numero 45: all of my fiancee's back teeth shattered because he didn't get his wisdom teeth pulled and the left side of his jaw cracked. so i'd have them looked at or you may be seeing a lot more of a dentist than you would have originally had to. Just a little FYI

The OP probably misinterpreted something about this FML, or didn't explain it right. But number #43 did it for me. I'm so glad I have a dentist in the family or else I'd never go to a dentist again. ... then again... o_o
