Today, I was at the dentist getting a cavity fixed for the first time. The dentist showed me the drill and other tools, and referred to them as things like "Mr. Bumpy Brush". I'm 15. She thought I was "special". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the dentist getting a cavity filled. As she's drilling into my tooth, I feel the drill slip, and then she quickly stuffs gauze into my mouth. She nervously laughs and says to me "Wow! You must really be numb!" FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. As the dentist was drilling, he accidentally hit a nerve and I ended up screaming in pain. The whole office heard me and now I'm too embarrassed to go back. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled. The nurse just finished taking my info when the doctor came in and started drilling. Through my chorus of screams he realized he'd forgotten to numb me. His only response was, "Guess I forgot to numb ya, huh?" while giggling. FML
Today, I finally heard a woman tell me "I've never seen one so big before!" Too bad it was my dentist talking about one of my cavities. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a filling. Instead of giving me Novocaine, my dentist decided he was going to use a special new paste on me while he drilled. It didn't work. FML
Today, I woke up with a terrible toothache and called my mother for a lift to the dentist. This super cute dentist chick enters and says, "Nice to meet you, your mother just told me you're afraid of dentists?" I'm 29. 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, I went to the dentist to have two cavities filled. I hate going to the dentist. After he'd started drilling, I heard a "clunk" noise followed by an "Oops." My dentist had cut my tooth in half. Now I have to get surgery to have the tooth extracted. FML
Today, I was having drilling work done on my teeth. My dentist slipped and drilled a hole in my cheek. I said mistakes happen, but that I didn't expect to pay for the work. They still billed me for it and sent me a prescription that I had to go and get (and pay for) in case it got infected. FML
Today, at the dentist, I was trying to make myself comfortable while he did his thing to my teeth. While my mouth was full of tools, he asked, “So how’s your day going so far?” My reply came out as, “Mrrgh purr blobby noff nay blobby blobby.” The dentist laughed and said, “I was kidding, you’re not supposed to talk right now.” FML

You should get back at her by licking her fingers when they're in your mouth

he was trying to calm you down

Nothing calms me down like baby talk from a professional.

All a dentist needs to calm me is "Mr. Happy", the face mask and a few deep breaths.

Then again, my dentist never gave it cute names. I had all but 2 of my baby teeth pulled and they always explained it in real terms.

If your teeth starts to ache from the cavity fill OP, take painkillers and rest.

I believe that would confirm the dentist's prior assumption.

If you think you're getting a cavity "removed", then yes, you are special.

And you're an asshole.
buckeyed 20
Yes, just blame the drool on the numbness...I'm sorry though OP. You're special to us.

My dentist called the slow drill Mr. Bumpy and the suction Mr. Thirsty. Into my teens also now that I think about it.
buckeyed 20
Did OP check the dentist's diploma? If she went to beadentistnow.com, maybe she thinks those are the official names of the tools. Seems to be a trend here...

"Mr. Thirsty"

My little sister got to choose from several filling "types" when she was getting her first filling at around age 6. It was a number of years before she realized she didn't really have a "Winnie-the-Pooh filling" at all.

Wait so my Walter White root canal was a lie??
