Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled. The nurse just finished taking my info when the doctor came in and started drilling. Through my chorus of screams he realized he'd forgotten to numb me. His only response was, "Guess I forgot to numb ya, huh?" while giggling. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the dentist getting a cavity filled. As she's drilling into my tooth, I feel the drill slip, and then she quickly stuffs gauze into my mouth. She nervously laughs and says to me "Wow! You must really be numb!" FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. As the dentist was drilling, he accidentally hit a nerve and I ended up screaming in pain. The whole office heard me and now I'm too embarrassed to go back. 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 filling. Instead of giving me Novocaine, my dentist decided he was going to use a special new paste on me while he drilled. It didn't work. 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 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
Today, I went to get some teeth pulled. I had Novocaine in my gums and lip so I couldn't feel a thing. When the doctor is pulling out the last tooth, he sneezes and pulls the tooth out. He looks in my mouth and I hear, "Oh, shit..." I now have stitches in my mouth. FML
Today, I was at the dentist's and she was hands deep in my mouth with a drill, when the power for the whole block shuts off. For 3 hours, the dentist had to keep shooting me up with shots to numb the horrible pain. FML
Today, I had a toothache and applied some numbing gel to soothe the pain. Too much came out and made my whole mouth numb. A man came into my work, thought I was making fun of his lisp, and stormed out really upset. He later called to complain about me. The boss just called me to his office. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth worked on. I got tongue-tied and instead of asking if they could anesthetize me, I accidentally asked if they could euthanize me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have kicked him in the crotch to see if he had numb nuts, or just was one.

Some people just shouldn't be in a medical field. Loons.

He could have meant the dentist was due for an appointment, possibly? So it could have been spelt perfectly fine for his purposes.

Getting a filling without being numb isn't that painful? I personally find the numbing process more painful. I've had several fillings done without a numbing, without screaming, and I've been diagnosed with a very low tolerance to pain. Sorry that your tolerance is just that bad OP.

Teeth are a whole different type of pain for some people. Tolerance levels can vary greatly throughout the body. For instance, I gave birth without any pain drugs whatsoever, but if anyone gets within a foot of my teeth with a drill, I am the world's biggest baby. I have teeth that are sensitive to such an extreme that I have had to be double-numbed before - and I *still* felt some of what they were doing.

...and I already knew this.

Let me get this straight... you listened to him start up the drill and the suction and you opened your mouth for him and it never crossed your mind that he didn't use anesthetic? YDI for being a fool.

I think I would not really question my dentist - you assume they know what they are doing. And it is possible the drill looked similar to the injection you would get to numb them?
DropBearMeat 23
#65 He started the drill. Don't you think that might be a big clue that he was about to... drill? Unless OP is deaf, he will recognize that the drill is getting louder as it gets closer. I question everyone when it's warranted. I don't care if a piece of paper or even lots of experience suggests that they're probably correct because they're still human at the end of the day and humans make mistakes. Busy dental offices usually have multiple people running the show. The dentist isn't always the one who does the x-rays, anesthetizes you, etc. It would be pretty easy for the dentist to assume that you've been in there long enough to have been anesthetized. Remember the Mars mission that burned in Mars's atmosphere because someone, somewhere used Imperial units rather than metric? That guy was almost certainly a pretty bright guy who made a really dumb mistake and nobody bothered to check his work or question it, probably because he was bright and had a lot of experience. Failing to notice a tiny detail destroyed millions of dollars and years worth of work. Question everything.

Good answer :P I like that.. maybe it should be a motto.. "question everything" and then... "why?" :P
Jaxx66 21
Sci-Fi channel already has that motto. :P
