Today, I went to the dentist to get a baby tooth which had decayed removed. After almost an hour, I came out with a numb mouth and a missing tooth for life. It was not a baby tooth. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the dentist. I had to get a tooth removed. In the middle of the procedure, the power went out. I had to sit there for an hour to wait for it to come back on. The anesthetic wore off before he started working on me again. 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 get a tooth pulled. When I woke up I found out they pulled the wrong one. FML
Today, my dentist pulled the wrong tooth. 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 went to the dentist after 24 hours of severe tooth pain. They did an emergency root canal. After the anesthesia wore off, within minutes, the pain returned only worse than before. Called the dentist, I had to return, only to find they had done the root canal on the wrong tooth. FML
Today, after waking up from a bad migraine which caused my teeth to clench, I found out that I broke a molar. A dentist told me it split down to the bone, so I need root canal and an extended crown. Then they told me the tooth below had also broke and has to be pulled. 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 went to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. The day before, I was too anxious to eat anything, so I went in with an empty stomach. There were complications during the extraction and now I'm not allowed to eat for the next 24 hours. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a hole in my tooth filled. After the dentist had injected the anesthetic into my gums, she realized that none of the electrical equipment was working. She sent me home. My entire right side of my face is completely numb and swollen for no reason. FML

It could still be a baby tooth and them be older. I'm 20 and I have a baby tooth that 2 of my adult teeth trapped in. I'm getting it removed fairly soon. I also have 2 decaying teeth because of overcrowding, it's impossible for my toothbrush and floss to get all the way back there even though I'm a stickler on brushing my teeth. But, OP, if it was decaying you'd want it out anyway. But try and get a false one to put there or something so the tooth adjacent doesn't slip out or the ones near it try and "fill" the gap. That's what they told me may happen with my baby tooth if the adult tooth doesn't come out. >.

I have a baby tooth still too, and I'm 21. My mom still has 2 baby teeth and she's 45. They never fell out because there was never an adult tooth underneath. So, if you still have baby teeth...you don't have adult teeth underneath OP. this sucks, but it may be a good thing....me having mine pulled caused my other teeth to straighten out.

i had a friend from school who still has most of her baby teeth and she's 22, she doesn't have the adult teeth to replace them. He uncle, had 3 sets of teeth, his baby teeth were pushed out then so were his first set of adult teeth.

So was it the wrong tooth or what?! as long as they took a decayed tooth,that's all that matters right?

OP is upset because she figured once they took the baby tooth out an adult tooth would grow in, but now she's stuck with nothing lol At least thats how I understood it.

Well... If the tooth was an adult tooth, maybe the OP would like it fixed instead of extracted? Also, there are some differences between "baby teeth" and "adult teeth" (in both size and shape...++), so the dentist should know that the tooth was an adult tooth and not a baby tooth.

Look on the bright side, OP! As least it didn't get infected and then spread to your brain. AND you won't have to blacken any teeth if you want to go as a hobo for Halloween.
