Today, my dentist dropped my bite plate for x-rays on the ground, picked it up, looked at it intently, took a couple of hairs off, and shoved it back into my mouth. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dentist pulled the wrong tooth. FML
Today, I went to a new dentist because I've been experiencing occasional toothache. Upon seeing my x-rays, he noticed something odd. Apparently, during a root canal a while ago, a piece of an instrument broke off, and has been lodged within ever since. 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 asked my dentist to have a look at the tiny crack his colleague repaired a few years ago, because it’s giving me trouble again. He looked in my mouth, took an X-ray, and could find neither the crack, nor the corresponding filling. FML
Today, the dentist sneezed in my mouth. 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 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 went to the dentist. She put a spongy thing on my teeth and told me to bite. Her finger was there, so I was confused and… I accidentally bit her finger. FML
Today, I bit into a burrito and felt something hard crunch. I spit it out and found a small tooth. It was mine. I'd managed to break my tooth on a burrito. I had to go to the dentist, and the hygienist giggled a bit too much about the reason why it was getting fixed. I now have a strong suspicion of burritos which will probably never go away. 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

Make sure to spit a mouthful of water at him when he rinses your mouth with water!

How unsanitary. I agree with OP needing a new dentist, perhaps one that's not in a back alley with a sign at the door that says: Tooth check ups, $5. Yet again, I could be wrong.

Isn't there healthcare guidelines listed by all the different agencies on how to properly handle materials and limit the amount of contamination that can occur due to various reasons? I mean, I get that it can sometimes be impossible to completely 100% sterilize everything in every environment, but you'd think it would be common sense for these doctors and nurses to know that dropping something on the floor that's meant to go into YOUR MOUTH isn't a good idea....

#1, Let me rephrase that: "You need a new dentist."

Am I the only one twitching because FMLshark didn't type, "Dirty mouth?" first? I'm not criticizing you, I'm just brainwashed with catchy slogans.

I was actually debating on whether to add that. Then the edit timer ran out. I apologize, FMLers.

What are strands of hair doing in a dentists workplace? its so clean in there!
chatoyant_fml 12
It should be clean yeah!!

I know right?! It's not like people are constantly shedding hairs or skin flakes! I don't think the issue is that there was debris on the floor. I think the issue was not using a sanitary tool inside of a patient's mouth.

In the medical field, anything that touches the floor is considered unsterile. The floor is never sterilized except in some extreme instances. The reason being... We walk on the damn thing with our dirty shoes. OP you should report the insistent to the profession's governing body.
UsernameHere234 13
27, you are correct about about that, however, do you know how dirty our mouth is naturally? Our mouth is so dirty that something like this will have absolutely zero medical impact. The only actual issue with this scenario is its "gross" and he creeped out a client.

#45. "Absolutely zero medical impact"? Do you wash your floors with your tounge?
AwsumShyGuy 12
You do realize that anything that dirty that enters the mouth can be extremely unsanitary and possible get OP sick? There's a reason why we wash our hands before every meal.

Then, you spit the bite plate at him.
JustKittyKat 24
Think of it as protein. ;)
KiddNYC1O 22
Wow... He took the hair off anyways...
annie_nk 23
Makes me question how "sterile" the other tools are. *cringe*

I hope he picked it up within 5 seconds!!

5 second rule!

Why the hell did you open your mouth for him to put it back in there? Bloody disgusting.

Yea the one that keeps your mouth open and makes if all dry:/ I would've gagged..

17: agreed. But I would've definitely made some loud noise until he freed my mouth then spitting the disgusting tool right in his face would be my little revenge.
domolovesyoshi 33
my dentist has never used a tool to keep my mouth open. Plus during X-rays you have to actually bite down on that plate so keeping your mouth open with a tool would be counter productive.
Ohitsariel 25
seriously though, you could've slapped it out of his hand or just kept your mouth closed.
