Dentist, Painful and Health: Hold still!

Hold still!

By toothache - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. There was a cyst behind one of them, and the dentist decided to extract it - except the Novocaine didn't reach that far back. I raised my hand like they said to do, and the dentist looked at me writing in pain and said, "No, you're fine." FML

Today, my dentist asked me about my fillings, so I told him that when I was younger, I had 2 cavities. He replied, "No you didn't. I just looked at your x-rays." Turns out my old dentist ripped me off. I never needed fillings. FML

Today, I was clipping my abnormally thick toenails. I had to apply so much pressure on the clippers that a nail flew off, hit me in the eyeball and scratched my cornea. The doctor nearly fell off his chair laughing during my eye exam after I told him what happened. FML

Today, I was teaching a woodshop class. We were using power tools, including drills, and pieces of pine wood. While helping a kid to hold a piece to practice drilling, he went too far forward with the drill. It went through my hand. FML

Today, I underwent surgery and feeling rather groggy upon being awoken, I very loudly declared, "I've always had a thing for doctors. Kiss me?" then promptly giggled, tried to launch myself in a random doctor's arms and fell flat on my face. FML

Today, I had to wait in a hospital room because I cut myself with a knife while trying to open a box of soda. After three stitches, I went home only to notice the box has an easy-open tab. FML

Today, while I was eating spicy wings, I suddenly sneezed. I was sitting in front of a fan and effectively maced myself when my spicy sneeze blew back into my face and eyes. FML

Today, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt deep breathing on my neck. I screamed, fell off the bed and busted my nose. It was just my cat. FML

Today, I accidentally ran my thumb down the cheese grater while preparing lunch beside my wife. I instantly jerked my hand away from the grater just in time run my forearm across the knife she was using. I now have 20 stitches and 5 staples in my arm, no lunch, and a puking wife. FML

Today, I woke up from the most satisfying dream I've ever experienced. Sex related? Nah. I just needed two hands to pull a massive booger from my left nostril. FML

You survived to write about it, you're fine. But seriously, you should have socked him in the face.

1. Grab the dentist's arm and push it away from you. 2. Punch the dentist in the face. 3. Sue for malpractice.

#56 1. I wouldn't punch him in the face.. he has sharp objects in my mouth 2. Go ahead... keep the cyst in your mouth... ull be sooooo much better off than if u had to deal with a little pain for a few minutes (which btw is soooo much worse after the pulling of the teeth than during) 3. You can't sue for malpractice if HES DOING HIS JOB.....

I have all my wisdom teeth coming in fine except one which is growing out slanted to the side. So my doctor thinks it'll look better to pull them all.....and my parents agree :'(

I feel your pain. Novocaine has no effect on me either. Just like #61 the dentists have always told me "It's just pressure." "NO Dr. D. it's not."

*growl* I ******* HATE it when they think they know what you're going through. My old dentist was a total **** and would pull shit like that all the time. I sued and won. Then mocked him >=(

Actually, that sounds like some kind of B.A. doctor to be honest. Sorry for your pain but still. He looks at you and says "No. Your fine." Are you joking me. I would have paid for your operation just to see him say that!
