Today, I was at dentist to get impressions made. The hygienist put way too much of the plaster stuff on the press. She put it in my mouth and asked if I was okay, I shook my head no and promptly vomited. It sat at the back of my throat and I could not spit it out until the plaster hardened. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at my job as a dental assistant and I was told to take an X-ray of a woman's teeth. As soon as I put the foam piece into her mouth, she projectile-vomited all over me and the floor. I had just started my 5-hour shift. FML
Today, my dentist applied a paste on my teeth to make them more resistant. It tasted so disgustingly like artificial banana that I had to throw up. I'm not allowed to brush my teeth, drink or eat for 4 hours. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. She had a tool that sucks up saliva, and put it in my mouth. She told me to close my mouth, and I did. Turns out she forgot to turn it on, causing my saliva to go all over my face. I had to sit like that for the rest of the visit. FML
Today, I had a dentist appointment in which a nurse numbed my mouth. After coming home, I took a nap in which I unknowing bit through my top lip. I physically can't speak. FML
Today, I was violently sick. There was so much vomit forcing itself out that I dislocated my jaw. I continued throwing up with a dislocated jaw for an hour or so. FML
Today, I was treating a patient at the hospital where I'm a dentist. This particular gentleman was old and slightly deaf. After completing the procedure I gestured to the spitoon and asked him to spit. He got up, steadied himself, and spat straight in my face. FML
Today, I was at the dentist. I ended up having some work done and left with a numb mouth. I have school pictures in less than 2 hours and I can neither smile nor stop drooling everywhere. FML
Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML
Today, I went to the orthodontist to have my braces worked on. I accidentally swallowed some of the cleaning solution she used. She told me it would probably give me an upset stomach. Apparently, an upset stomach and crapping your pants means the same thing to an orthodontist. FML
Today, I missed my dentist appointment. I couldn't attend, because I was too busy puking my guts up due to a bad reaction to the pain medication I'm taking for my toothache. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This happened to me once when there was a new person at the orthodontist. She put too much in, and put it way to far back...so I vomited. Then she yelled at me for vomiting, and for not telling her I was "a puker" so she could get a trash can (hello, there's vomit on my clothes, do you think I did that on purpose? I would have liked a trash can too). Then when a different assistant came in to help clean up, she confirmed that I usually only gagged, not vomited, and when they took it out we had to re-do it because the new one had used so much and positioned it wrong. the new assistant also stabbed my sister in the nose (and made her bleed) with a wire a few days later). she was scary, lol

34. did you know that the airway the nose uses is something we like to call the throat? if your airway is blocked, doesn't matter if you breathe through your nose or your mouth , if it's blocked it's blocked. how do you think anatomy works??

Haha omg, the same exact thing happened to me when I had to puke while they were doing the plaster stuff, I wasn't allowed to swallow so I had to sit there with is just sitting in my mouth . FYL

read my comment 42 and like I said I tested this out and could still breathe and obviously so could the op so don't act like I'm the stupid one.

Dentists do impressions too, for a variety of reasons. The OP probably threw up because the material hit the back of his throat, triggering the gag reflex. You can't take the tray out till it sets (about a minute or so) so the patient will just have to breathe through his nose. The assistant didn't necessarily do anything wrong, sometimes these things just happen.

Sean I hate to do it again....but the thickness/consistancy of the...whatever lodged in your windpipe affects your being able to breathe or not. IE, if you could just breathe through your nose with something stuck in your throat, then choking wouldn't be a big deal. So if the OP had particularly chunky vomit, he/she would most likely not have survived. But if the vomit was mostly liquid, and it was only there for a short amount of time...then the OP has a plausable story.

I'm acting like you're the stupid one bc you are. Through picking on someone else for making a valid observation that the OP is exaggerating because she said she sat with vomit in her throat for 20 minutes. the person that you picked on stated that was impossible, then you went on to say "uhh there's these things called noses" which I said wasn't a valid point when your esophagus is blocked off. you then said you tried it with water andcould still breathe. Vomit is much more of a thick substance than water, and you didn't do it for the 20 minutes it takes to get impressions. So, in recap, I pointed out the flaws in your statement like you erroneously tried to point out someone elses. then your comment #42, doesn't prove that you're not idiotic, just ignorant to reading and to real life. Again, thanks for trying.

where are you getting 20 minutes? NO impressions take that long.

omg I hate getting impressions done, I have s. extremely sensitive gag reflex so it'd horrible. but the plaster only take seconds to harden, so not an fml

There wasn't any ignorance or stupidity in my comment. They said that there was no way this could be true and I just stated that this FML is plausible. I know that the op COULD have choked, but he/she didn't. You don't need to go in depth into what could have happened, I'm just stating what actually did happen, which is that the op obviously didn't choke to death. I understand what you're saying and maybe this is a fake, but that doesn't change the fact that it is sometimes possible to breath through your nose with something in your mouth.
