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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 had an appointment with my dentist to check for cavities. He told me that most of my teeth have cavities, and that I may need a root canal. In fact, I ended up actually getting a painful root canal. FML
Today, it was the fourth time I've had major dental work done, because my dentist messed up my root canal. After almost a dozen needles, three missed work days, over $1,000, and 2 broken tools, I only have a tiny, barely-successful filling to show for it. 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 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. I had to get a tooth removed. In the middle of the procedure, the power went out. I had to sit there for an hour to wait for it to come back on. The anesthetic wore off before he started working on me again. FML
Today, I went to a new dentist because I've been experiencing occasional toothache. Upon seeing my x-rays, he noticed something odd. Apparently, during a root canal a while ago, a piece of an instrument broke off, and has been lodged within ever since. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth pulled. When I woke up I found out they pulled the wrong one. FML
Today, my dentist pulled the wrong tooth. FML
Today, I had a dentist appointment and was running late. I frantically put on my shoes and rushed out of the house. When I arrived at the dentist’s office, they told me I was scheduled for a root canal, not a cleaning. I forgot to confirm the appointment. After I sat down in the chair, I tried to back out, but they were already numbing my gums. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

lol at everyone who says sue. litigation nation, ftw. you never mess up at your job? you realize that when you sue a doctor/dentist, they just raise costs on everyone else to cover the rise in their malpractice insurance, right? of course not. everyone wants to get money they didn't earn. can i sue next time i go to subway and they mess up my sandwich?

i'm sorry but this by far the stupidest thing i have heard all week. do you really think a messed up sandwitch in ANY way compares to malpratice like this? a much better example would be if you get to sue when a doctor needs to rebreak your arm because it's healing improperly and break the wrong arm. and the answere is : yes you god damn do get to sue. i sincerely hope that you get seriously hurt by somebody doing a "mistake" because you deserve it.

You probably could rye! Look at the lady that sued McDonald's for spilling hot coffee in her own lap when she held it between her thighs. Or the guy that was robbing a house and the family was out of town, locked himself in the garage by accident and lived on dog food and pepsi for a week. Sued the family for distress and won. Anyway, FYL OP, that really sucks... Feel better... ;)

Is your dentist stupid or are you stupid? no professional dentist accidentally does a root canal on the wrong tooth...

any dentist that has gone through med school, and simply anyone who understands the reason for a root canal, should not make that mistake. so if this is true, which I doubt, try choosing someone with an iq higher than 50 to be your doctor next time
