Health: Today, I got my retainer fitted. It stimulates my gag reflex...

Today, I got my retainer fitted. It stimulates my gag reflex so badly that I gag every time I try so say anything with a 'P' in it. My orthodontist laughed and suggested I get a thesaurus. FML

Same thing different taste

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

Brace yourself

Today, my orthodontist thought it would be a good idea to put braces on the teeth in the very back. One bracket popped off twice, after which he shoved a metal band in my mouth onto one of my teeth, cutting my gums, and causing gushing blood. Now, I can’t eat anything unless it’s baby food and I have a lisp. FML

Today, I got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. 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, at the dentist, the new, rather airy assistant went to prep me for an extraction. She began pulling on something in my mouth, and a moment later, I felt intense pain and then the wetness of blood. She was trying to pull out "that weird wire thing". In other words, my permanent retainer. FML

Today, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. FML

Numb

By A.J. - 13/04/2019 08:00 - United States

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 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

Today, I got my braces put on. This is the second time I've had them. The first time was after my cousin opened a car door in my face. This time a jock punched me in the mouth for saying that Reese's taste the same as Snickers peanut butter. FML

Why is it always the P that stimulates gag reflexes?

If your luck is anything like mine, your mother's name begins with a "P", your dad's name begins with a "P", your dog's name begins with a "P", your street name begins with a "P", your town name begins with a "P", your name begins with a "P" and tonight you're going to want pizza for dinner and you're going to be polite and say "please". Hang in there O.P.

And not because you can't pronounce P's

On the plus side, this will train you to control your gag reflex. Once you master this skill, you'll be popular with people possessing P's pleased by your palpably prodigious performance ;)

#63, thank you! I locked up mediocre perdix in the shed, but soon enough he'll be back! amazing perdix will have to hide -- threesome jokes are like Kryptonite to me -- and mediocre perdix throws them around like plastic beads at Mardi Gras!
