Dentist and Health: Comfortably…

Comfortably…

Today, I had a tooth pulled. An hour or so later, I removed the gauze from my mouth, because I thought the bleeding had stopped. I got on my laptop. A few minutes later I looked down, to see that I had drooled blood all over the keyboard, and didn't know because my mouth was numb. FML

Today, I was taking medicine for my sinus problems and trying to write an essay. I got most of the way done, then unexpectedly fell asleep on my keyboard. When I woke up, my face was wet. I drowned my laptop in my drool. 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 was at the dentist. I ended up having some work done and left with a numb mouth. I have school pictures in less than 2 hours and I can neither smile nor stop drooling everywhere. FML

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

Today, I went to the dentist. She had a tool that sucks up saliva, and put it in my mouth. She told me to close my mouth, and I did. Turns out she forgot to turn it on, causing my saliva to go all over my face. I had to sit like that for the rest of the visit. FML

Panic!

Today, I woke to find a pool of my own blood all over my pillow. Frantic to find the source of the blood, I rushed into the bathroom and tripped over my too-long pajama pants. Crashing to the floor face first, I broke my nose. Turns out I had just bitten my lip in the middle of the night. FML

Today, I accidentally punched myself in the mouth while eating a Go-Gurt. I was eating it because I'd just had my wisdom teeth removed. 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

Unfortunate

Today, I was eating a bag of chips when one of the pieces broke off into a sharp point and when I chewed it, it stabbed into my gums. When I got up to wash the blood out of my mouth, I hit my big toe on my desk corner. FML

Today, I got a tooth pulled out. I now have a hole connecting my mouth to my nose. Drinking and eating is whole new experience. FML

Unfortunately I didn't feel it on my hands, because I have a wireless mouse. Therefore my hands weren't on the keyboard.

not true. i had 4 teeth removed in one day and the dentist said i could take the gauze out in one hour. i took it out in hour and fell asleep because of the pain medicine. i woke up to what looked like a murder scene in my bed, with blood on my pillows, sheets, shirt, and mouth. i ended up having to walk around the house carrying a grocery bag wherever i went because i would have to spit out the gauze almost every half hour because it would fill up with blood.

Didn't the dentist give you specific instructions on not pulling it out or so? =/ It's definitely YDI for pulling it out and assuming everything would be okay. You have to be cautious..

totally sympathize. I got my wisdom teeth out, dental surgeon said it looked fairly dry and I could take the gauze out in 45 minutes. 5 hours later I was still bleeding and kept having to change the gauze working around a still numb mouth. Sometimes dentists are wrong about how much you'll bleed haha and it blows

If you couldn't feel anything because of the anesthetic, then why didn't you leave it in until the numbness started going away? That's beside the point that there's no reason to get rid of the gauze the moment it stops bleeding anyway unless it's to check something and then replace it with a fresh piece of gauze. Most dentists I've ever met recommended the same. That was completely inane. YDI.
