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. 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

No pain, no gain

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

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 after 24 hours of severe tooth pain. They did an emergency root canal. After the anesthesia wore off, within minutes, the pain returned only worse than before. Called the dentist, I had to return, only to find they had done the root canal on the wrong tooth. FML

Bruxism

Today, after waking up from a bad migraine which caused my teeth to clench, I found out that I broke a molar. A dentist told me it split down to the bone, so I need root canal and an extended crown. Then they told me the tooth below had also broke and has to be pulled. FML

Hangry time

Today, I went to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. The day before, I was too anxious to eat anything, so I went in with an empty stomach. There were complications during the extraction and now I'm not allowed to eat for the next 24 hours. FML

Uncomfortably numb

By someone - 02/09/2009 11:00 - Denmark

Today, I went to the dentist to get a hole in my tooth filled. After the dentist had injected the anesthetic into my gums, she realized that none of the electrical equipment was working. She sent me home. My entire right side of my face is completely numb and swollen for no reason. FML

If you're young enough to even mistakenly think that you have a baby tooth, you're life sucks not for what happened to your tooth, but because your parents are so shitty as to let you troll a website like this. Mayoclinic.com states that baby teeth fall out by the time a child is 13. Too young to be reading the crap on here!!! Parenting FAIL

Awww, how cute. Someone who believes everything they read on the internet! You're probably one of those people who argue with the doctor over stuff they read on mayoclinic.com or any other webmd.com, aren't you?

Actually... lol... I'm a history student and we learned that of course not just Britain but most of Europe is not as "pretty" as the people might have been at one time because most of the good gene pool was killed in the world wars.... so even if it seems mean to say so, and beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, there is reason for it to seem like they aren't as well off in the gene department...

Really? I have seen some freaking gorgeous men and women come out of Europe. On a whole, Ive noticed a lot of them have stronger jawlines and much better skin than Americans. Also, from my limited experience of 2 englishmen, they were far more talented in the bedroom than American men Ive been with. My ex who lives in England is, to this day, the best sex Ive ever had. So, I guess the genes can't be all that bad!

I once read an article that suggested people are prettier nowadays than they were in the past, due to thousands of years of attractive people mating with other attractive people.

Uh, this is such a DATED stereotype. Get the **** over it already. In the past Brits may have had bad teeth but not anymore. Before you try to shit all over British people take a step back and you at yourself you bloody ignorant sod. Bet you're not perfect. Infact I bet you're ******* OBESE - oh wait, not nice being stereotyped it is.
