Gee... Thanks
Today, while my orthodontist was working on my teeth, she made the comment, "Wow! It looks like a murder scene in there!" FML

Today, I have an orthodontist's appointment, and I told my best friend that I was going to get my teeth fixed. She replied, "Wow, thanks. Your smile's really awful to have to look at." FML

Do it again
Today, I was at the orthodontist. As the lady was clipping my brackets, she missed and clipped my gums instead. She looked at me and said, "Oh sorry, you're bleeding really badly. See, I got these fake nails put on and I guess I'm just not used to them. Let me try again." She missed. FML

Today, at the orthodontist, the nurse was checking my teeth. She asked me a question while her finger was in my mouth, and when I stupidly tried to reply, I bit her finger. FML

Today, I took my 12 year-old to the orthodontist. While I was talking to the dentist about what was needing to be done, my daughter listened. With a straight face, the dentist joked, "Yeah, we're going to need to rip off her entire jaw." My daughter won't leave her room anymore. FML

Stiff upper lip
Today, I went to the dentist for a routine check-up, and halfway through the appointment, the dentist exclaimed, "Oops!" Turns out, he accidentally glued my lips together while fixing a tiny chip in my front tooth. I spent the next two hours communicating through exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. FML

Retainer blues
Today, at the store, I heard a kid complaining about getting braces. While I was saying "Thank you" and "Bye" to the cashier, his grandma must've seen my slightly crooked teeth. She pointed and said, "Without them, your teeth will look bad like that man's!" Everyone around looked at me. FML

Today, I went to the orthodontist to have my braces worked on. I accidentally swallowed some of the cleaning solution she used. She told me it would probably give me an upset stomach. Apparently, an upset stomach and crapping your pants means the same thing to an orthodontist. FML

Today, I went to the orthodontist. The lady took a break and went to use the restroom. Apparently she didn't bother to take her gloves off, and they smelled like straight up pee. She had her hands in my mouth for over an hour. 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

It just seems as if every time I hear the word dentist, blood is not far behind

You can be nice and ignore it.. Or Be rude back.. Say, I can close my mouth, but what do you do about your face..

Although the orthodontist made a joke, OP should just stay quiet instead of saying something mean in return. Some people take things too seriously and OP wouldn't want to offend somebody who obviously has the capability to mess with OP's mouth

Always care for your teeth like they're the most important thing in the world, because once they're gone, they're gone.

It may have been unprofessional to say however now maybe you will take a bit better care of your teeth

For all we know the orthodontist may have meant how crocked the teeth could have been, maybe the OP was there to get braces or something? It may have been something totally out of their control, teeth growing ontop of each other, growing crocked, there's a list of problems the orthodontist could be talking about. On the other hand it could be OPs fault for not brushing or taking care of their teeth but we can't be so quick to judge and assume

This is just my opinion but a murder scene would lead me to believe blood was involved... and from personal experience, blood is very common when dentistry is involved! They do pull teeth (causes bleeding) and often poke around a little too much (causes bleeding) or simply manage to tear the mouth when working in it (causes bleeding) so save the judgement towards OP until follow up!

I find that dentists (and orthodontists) tend to have some of the worst bedside manners. Dentists and surgeons.
