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

To everyone who claims "if it was a baby tooth they wouldn't have pulled it": wrong. Dentists do not hesitate to pull baby teeth if it's necessary. When I was younger I had a few baby teeth that had to be pulled. One was loose and its filling fell out, causing the entire tooth to break in half (but not fall out). With another, the tooth had broken when it became loose and most of the tooth fell out except for a little bit which the gum had grown onto, meaning that although the tooth was no longer attached by roots, it was still attached by a piece of gum. The gum had to be ripped to get the piece of tooth off (hurt more than the other tooth that had to be pulled). Also, significant decay will mean the tooth is in permanent pain. They would pull it rather than just leave it. Anyway, in regards to OP, this confuses me. 1) Wouldn't you know if you'd already lost the baby tooth in that position? 2) Didn't your dentist take any x-rays to determine the extent of the damage? Not really sure whether to say YDI or FYL here. YDI if you're slack with dental care. On the other hand, you might take a lot of care with your teeth and STILL have problems - I know I often do - so that could be FYL.

wow that sux why did you let it rot? spinbrushes are like $9

my toothbrush cost £1, toothpaste about £3, floss about £1, mouthwash...£4 I think. £9 to complete oral health! Wouldn't the dentist have been able to tell if it was a baby toot or not once they tried to pull it? shouldn't baby teeth be much easier to pull because their roots aren't as deep?

This isn't an FML, really. To hell with "take better care of your teeth," you get YDI for bitching about a pulled tooth, something that happens to a lot of people.

Seeing as we have lost so many of our young soldiers, while saving your arse in Iraq. Maybe you shouldn't bring that one up over a simple FML of rotting teeth.

Please do not base your opinion of all Americans on a couple of idiots. :D I may be patriotic, but I enjoy other cultures/countries. Chances are, the people being so nasty have never even left their own state. I have a theory! I think that the reason other countries hate Americans so much is because we like to go into foreign speaking countries and just EXPECT them to speak our language. Americans don't even bother to TRY to speak the language. When I went to France/Italy, I at least attempted to speak the language, and not one person treated me badly. Also, my favorite ex and one of my good friends are over in London. I enjoyed it there, immensely. Well, except for the cold! My ex just knew I couldn't ever move, lol.

Its ok, i'm not generalizing the American population. Its just the ignorant arses in here who like to stereotype us. But its fine, because i know that they are the lazy, fat arsed Americans who we come to know and love here in Britain. I personally love America, but i have to say, i definatly prefer Canadian people. I think the problem is, that we are so different as a culture. We go about things differently. We clash :-) To be honest, even if the commenters were British i'd still dislike them. People who have nothing better to do with their time then bad mouth other nationalities just because they are bitter for never leaving their living room. Twats.

I just figure most of them are rednecks from the south where they, "keep it in the family." They're also force fed crap about how horrid other nations are. When you're scraping the bottom of the gene pool, you can't expect much ;) lol
