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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. 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 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, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML
Today, my dentist pulled the wrong 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, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. 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, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I happen to be allergic to all types of pain medication. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you just had extra (supernumerary) teeth. I do... 6 wisdom teeth and 1 other extra molar. I've seen them on my x-rays.

Now you have the wisdom that sometimes you get extra spare parts. Did you hear about the guy who had five dicks? His pants fit like a glove!

I think I’d have a serious chat with the oral surgeon who removed your wisdom teeth. And I’d want to see some x-rays from before your surgery and after. Sounds like someone screwed up big time.

I had six wisdom teeth too. Also three extra teeth. They only removed teeth that were coming in. I had to go in twice.

There are people who have had 6! Although, it's the dentist's fault for not checking your entire skull/jaw for them before the procedure. Put it on them to foot the dental side of the bill (as dentual is usually capped coverage and medical isn't)

Wow was the dentist blind or did he not do x-rays,but I feel ur pain have had nothing but problems with my wisdom teeth all 4 of mine were misshapen top 2 had oversized Root's which broke my jaw being extracted then bottom right was a nightmare it was impacted,oversized had pushed 2 molars roots too the side with L shaped crown and the roots decided to grow around my jaw,I still have alot of issues with lower right but can't see a oral surgeon only 2 in isolated area I live but they don't take state med insurance last time I saved for years so I could travel two a nearby state for previous surgery's and nobody will touch lower left side because it's on a nerve cluster and degrading my jaw.

if you didn't know you have extra wisdom teeth, why get 'em removed? Doesn't sound like they're causing problems.

I had something similar. I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled at 12 because they were hitting molars in front on the bottom before they were even close to breaking the gum line. So they had to actually break the teeth and remove them in pieces. Well there was either another tooth forming or one started growing back due to being so young. But when I was 24 I had excruciating pain. It turns out that extra tooth not only was coming in, but because of having to break the teeth initially to extract them the tooth was cracked down the middle top to bottom with the nerve in between. So anytime so.ethi g would touch it or I would accidentally bite down the nerve would get pinched. The pain was so bad that I would completely lose my appetite if it got pinched so at 6feet tall I dropped from 145lbs down to around 112 lbs before I could get it pulled.

Would now be an inappropriate time to mention that I have none???
