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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, during a brutal two and half hour dental procedure, the dentist kept saying my gums were inflamed, and bleeding a lot. The clichéd "You need to floss more!" tirade. After she was done, my gums were purple, bruised, and had a visible cut on them. But sure, the bleeding was from me not flossing enough. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML
Today, I went to the school dentist for the yearly routine check. She took ages trying to clean out my teeth with the metal toothpick-thing, constantly hitting my gums. After half an hour of pain and spitting blood, she looks up and says, laughing: "Oh, I forgot to put my glasses on". FML
Today, I met my new dentist. His teeth are worse than mine. 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. 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
Today, I was flossing my teeth, which I do only to not get yelled at (chewed out?) by my dentist. Dentist I’ll now be seeing later today because the floss broke off a corner of one of my molars. FML
Today, I went to my new dentist and before he started looking at my teeth, I told him my previous dentist had never found a single thing wrong with my teeth. After looking around, he chuckled humourlessly and called my last dentist idiotic. I now have a $580 bill and a root canal next week. FML
Today, I rushed to a dentist's appointment. Once in the chair, I apologized for not having had the time to brush my teeth beforehand. He responded with, "Ah that's alright, I just took a piss and forgot to wash my hands." FML
Today, I was at the dentist's. During my check-up, he recommended a dermatologist. FML

That's when you bite his finger and say it was just a natural reaction.

Tell him he needs to be finding a new patient since you're leaving

They check to see if your gums are weak by poking them. Hurts like hell, I know, but it is routine.

Did you even read and understand the FML the dentist isn't supposed to get distracted and stab you with a sharp tool, they're supposed to gently nudge with rounded tool. Learn to read before quickly passing judgement the dentist is fully in the wrong here they should've paid attention to the patient

Heard there's a good dentist in Sydney, you can even look at the fish while you get your teeth cleaned!

Do everyone a favor and report that guy. Whether an off day or not, professionalism must come first, in all lines off work.

At least your dentist doesn't work on your teeth while watching important soccer games.

OMG! Heaven forbid, if being distracted gets OP stabbed and bleeding could you imagine what would happen if the dentist was seriously concentrating on a soccer match?! OP would've probably left missing an eye!

Find another dentist.

op, I'm pretty sure that some dentists are masochists on the down low...

Sadists* Masochists enjoy receiving pain

Yes it's good to know the difference between a sadist - one who relishes in the pain of others - and a masochist - one who enjoys receiving pain.

Actually it's their job to check for periodontal disease during those visits and bleeding is a definite sign of the beginning of gingivitis or periodontitis. So if OP isn't brushing correctly or flossing, then the dentist is correct for detecting that. just a possibility...

Why do people dislike this it's right
DoomedGemini 38
Because simply reading the FML tells you it happened throughout the cleaning and when the dentist got distracted.

Yeah, I don't bleed when stabbed in the gum. I even check myself once in a while. If I bleed, I'm not doing my job.
