Dentist and Health: Oops

Oops

By Toothy. - 25/07/2009 04:21 - Australia

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 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 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 canceled my dental check-up because I'm getting busy at work. Then, as I was flossing, my finger slipped, I heard a "crunch" from one of my fillings, and I now have a killer toothache. It's costing me double to go to the dentist because it's now an emergency call. FML

Today, I had an appointment with my dentist to check for cavities. He told me that most of my teeth have cavities, and that I may need a root canal. In fact, I ended up actually getting a painful root canal. FML

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

Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML

Today, it was the fourth time I've had major dental work done, because my dentist messed up my root canal. After almost a dozen needles, three missed work days, over $1,000, and 2 broken tools, I only have a tiny, barely-successful filling to show for it. FML

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. I had to get a tooth removed. In the middle of the procedure, the power went out. I had to sit there for an hour to wait for it to come back on. The anesthetic wore off before he started working on me again. FML

moonsolomon: Of course the dentist knew the tooth was flawed. That's why he/she was doing the filling.

I can see why you hate dentists. That one sounds like a loser. Try to find one who hasn't been huffing the laughing gas before he works on you.

You had to have cavities filled. Why was he drilling? Was it to clean the decay out? Even that doesn't make sense. But, if he really was drilling for some reason, unless your cavity was very deep and expansive and the drill accidentally just pushed through the other side (consequently cleaving your tooth in half), how did he 'cut your tooth in half'? Your tooth must have been very decayed and weak to simply break like that. Also, it seems like a tooth this decayed should be extracted and replaced, anyway. This whole thing sounds odd to me. However, if it's true, I'm very sorry to hear about it, and it sounds very painful and expensive. Good luck and please take care of your teeth!

The dentist uses a drill type tool to clean off all of the decay so that it won't continue when he fills it. I have had a few cavities before and that is always what he does.
