Dental practice

By urbantrashcan - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my dentist and his hygienist were flirting while they worked on my mouth. I didn't really mind, however I definitely minded when the hygienist pierced my gum with her tool because she was laughing at one of his jokes. FML

Can't you file a complaint for that or anything? Atleast tell them to act professional

What does the dentist of the year get? A little plaque.

One really can't at that moment because they have the tools and OP's mouth is wide ope

You deserve a plaque for best comment of the year

Sounds like she needs to start focusing on her job because those jokes aren't going to pay her bills

Unless she marries him and he takes charge of the bills

That's une-teeth-cal and m-orally wrong. I hope you had the gum-ption to file a complaint and then say 'tartar' forever. First attempt at punning.

Keep it up! You haven't begun to make a dentin all the puns you'll say.

You tried. Failed, but tried. Just brush it off OP. There's always tomorrow.

Nah, more puns! Grit your teeth and keep trying.

Ripping my first try like that! You Enamels!

im pretty sure thats like a lawsuit waiting to happen... theu get paid so much to be professionals. should wait until after work for flirting

Sweet lord how long did it take for you to stop bleeding? They better have offered you something better than a sticker for that one.

Stickers are pretty awesome, but I think OP at least deserves a free toothbrush.

I hope to God they didn't then tell her "if you flossed you wouldn't be bleeding".

Complain to the proper agency about their behavior. Don't let them just sweep this under the rug. Today, you have a hole in your gum. Tomorrow, another guy gets a drill straight through to the bone, maybe worse.

Just out of curiosity, who WOULD be the "proper agency"? As an inexperienced teenager I'm curious who I actually would report this to should a similar situation occur to me.

Depends where you live, but there is usually an association for dentistry. Like ADA for the USA and CDA + CDHA for Canada.

Did you by chance need to go to the dentist because of you biting your spoon?

Ouch! Tell them to do their business on their OWN time
