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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

punch him in the face and when he starts bleeding tell him it's because he doesn't floss

You're violent. I like it.

I had an orthodontist/dentist who would watch sports from a tv in the corner of the room whilst doing your teeth. Any goals scored would result in him gensturing with his hands, even when in your mouth, tugging.

ooh that sucks. my friends and I were just talking about this exact same thing. "Hello? yes. I'd like to report a glitch in the matrix."

Call him out on it. Tell him how unsatisfied you are with him and his work, then find somewhere else. Makes me wonder if he does it to a lot of people, and you'd be the first to speak up!

If by distracted you mean he kept looking away, he was most likely looking at the monitor that shows the X-ray or your teeth. So YDI for being a dumbass

Probably not serious enough to report him, but definitely write him a terrible review on Yelp, etc so others can be warned! And maybe he'll read it and wake up.

Sounds like malpractice to me.
