Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I left with referrals to both a dermatologist and a mental health professional. FML
Today, my dentist kept staring at me with a worried expression while working on me. Concerned that something was wrong with my teeth, I asked her what was the matter. She replied, "I'm not a dermatologist, but you should go to a doctor, I think you have staph." She was referring to my acne. 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, on my way to the dentist, I got rear ended by my own dentist. FML
Today, I met my new dentist. His teeth are worse than mine. FML
Today, I went to my new dentist to get my teeth cleaned. He kept getting distracted, causing him to repeatedly stab me in the gums. He then had the nerve to tell me that I need to brush more, due to how I was bleeding just from his "routine examination". FML
Today, the dentist sneezed in my mouth. FML
Today, I went to see my new dentist. He was really cute, so after the checkup I started flirting. He stopped me right after I asked him out, saying, "Being a dentist has its advantages, I can see the girl's mouth before I stick my tongue in it. And in your case, it's a big no." FML
Today, my dentist pulled the wrong tooth. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. Normally I walk out with no work to be done as he says my teeth are always great. I thought it was weird this time that he was scraping and pushing at my tooth when he usually doesn't. I'd walked in with a full set of teeth, walked out with a dentist-caused chipped tooth and a filling booked in. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is your tooth acne bad too?

Your dentist should have been on the receiving end of a swift kick to the balls. "Oh sorry Doc, you must have hit a nerve."

dentists are still doctors, thank him for the heads up. if i'm getting my oil changed, I'd appreciate the mechanic pointing out some potentially bad rust spots.

Not the same thing. Rust spots worsen if they aren't dealt with. Acne is not health threatening, only potentially threatening to ones self esteem. If its not, why bother? It goes away usually. If it does bother you, you're probably smart enough yourself to know to see a dermatologist. It's kind of like the dentist saying "why not fix up that healthy tooth? It looks ugly" I mean really how is it that much different? Most people do not want other people pointing out their "flaws", especially when they are not there for that reason.

I know a dentist specifically deals with teeth, but they also do a bit of face-touching in that line of work as well. If they're touching acne, I think it's well within their right to recommend a dermatologist (who wants to touch random zits as a hazard of their job?). It's not like they're recommending a plastic surgeon or something because they don't like your nose or cheekbones. Personally, I think it's weirder when you go to the doctor for Problem A and they try to treat you for unrelated Problem B. I once went in because I was having asthma problems and came out with a prescription acne treatment. NOT what I went in there for and completely unrelated.

You never know, he/she could have noticed a strange mole near your face and just wanted you to get it checked in case it was something bad. Hair stylists, and any other doctors will tell you the same most times.

Happened to me too but I was recommended to get a facial from some lady she went to. Totally worth it.
