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

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

I think your dentist failed school. Time to present them with a lawsuit. They have insurance for this, make em use it. Your dentist failed and should have to pay for there mistake.

No. Reading comprehension is an amazing thing. They THOUGHT the decaying tooth was a baby tooth. It turned out to be an adult tooth that was decayed.

Sorry, but YDI. If you read correctly, it's clearly the OP's fault, since she is the one that said it was a baby tooth (not the dentist). Either way, you can get an implant to replace it, so it's really not a huge deal. Sac up.

As long as the decayed tooth is gone, it's all good.

The alternative is having a decaying tooth still in her mouth. A decaying tooth would have eventually caused in infection, which could have turned into an abcess, and even could have made the person septic. Also, once it's infected around the tooth, novicaine doesn't work! She could have felt every excruciating pull on the tooth! Now THAT would have been fun. A dental implant is worth it to avoid all that pain and suffering.

Why? The tooth was decaying. They wouldn't have just LEFT it there. He would've had to have it removed whether it was a permanent tooth or not.

I'm American and I love the British! Just finished Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series and loved it. It's silly to say all British have bad oral hygiene. I've seen many Americans with teeth that want to make me hurl. Neither my own sister, nor my BIN even brush their teeth. Yucky.
