Anyone else enjoy trying to eat after a drill and fill at the dentists? (my uncle is my dentist, he numbs me reeeeeel good .) Here I am trying to eat some spagetti O's and type on TFP, when I realize I have spagetti O's all over my chin...

I was just wondering if anyone out there had any interesting dental visit stories, preferably funny ones, to lighten up my day.

When I was in high school, I went to see the stage production of Little Shop of Horrors on a Friday night, then saw the movie in the theaters on Saturday afternoon. My dental checkup was the following Monday. Yeesh.

Not really a dental story, and not really funny, but...
1...Why are you eating Spagetti O's?; or is it because you're all out of alphabet soup.

2...Be glad they're ending up on your chin...those little buggers are a bitch to dig out from between the "B" and "N" keys!

3...Don't wash em down with hot coffee!

After I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I wanted apple juice. My mother, who was driving, wouldn't stop to get some; but she did stop at a McDonalds to get me a milk shake. I don't know how much harder stopping at the gas station would've been, but I guess she thought a milk shake and apple juice where somehow even remotely similar. I ended up crying all the way home because she wouldn't get me any juice.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I may be, as it's been just a few years ( ) since I had my wisdom teeth removed. I think that the last thing that you'd want to do is to slurp that melted ice cream, that McDonald's calls a milkshake, through a straw, just after having teeth extracted. The suction would hurt the open sockets...not?

After having my tongue pierced I spent the next 3 days trying to speak without sounding like a moron and eat without the use of my tongue. I remember cutting everything up and placing it really far back in my mouth - no drooling issues but I feel your pain.

Hmm...I went to the dentist last month. The damn dentist numbs me just to do a fucking filling when it doesn't even hurt at all which is really redundant (I got fillings last month from the same one and she didn't use back then, but she used it now, wtf??) , as a result, half of my mouth is couldn't taste any thing. My mom took me to a nice restaurant later and half of my mouth didn't enjoy all those deliciousness!! Oh, I didn't slob

I remember the fun of getting my mouth numbed a couple times at the dentist. Worst idea I had right afterwards was thinking that trying to drink out of a straw would work while not being able to move my lower lip to form suction. Talk about some efforts in futility!

I also had my lower wisdom teeth cut out of my gums before they came in (xrays showed massive issues if we left them in) and got completely knocked out for that dental surgery. Of course they gave me some pain meds to deal with the after-surgery pain in my mouth, however in their brilliance they gave me "take only with food" pills. Therein lies the problem, my mouth was in no shape to even try food until I was already drugged up, and I couldn't get drugged up without eating food. Eventually after managing a little bit of jello my parents and I decided screw it, i needed the pain killer more than the risk of it upsetting my food-less stomach.

To this day I still don't know why you give someone something they have to take with food when they can't use their mouth.

I got all four wisdom teeth taken out at the same time. Because we were poor and on state insurance, anesthesia wasn't covered, so I was awake for the whole thing.

The teeth were rooted in so firmly that the dentist had to literally chip them out. As we was going to work on the second tooth, I thought to myself, "I'd sure like to see what one of these teeth looks like when he gets it out." No sooner did the thought fill my head than another piece chipped out, flew up in the air, and landed right in my eye.

Be careful what you wish for, eh?

yep, I think suction of any kind is bad on the ole open sockets--dry socket anyone?

After getting my tongue pierced I tried to eat spaghetti O's cuz they were nice and soft. The problem was the o's kept getting stuck over the barbell! That was not fun at all.

basmoq

thanks for the replies everyone, that really did brighten up my day

I thought you aren't allowed to eat for something like 2 hours after?


The only thing I have tried to do was drink...(not beer) bad idea! it doesn't;t all stay in your mouth!

yeah it will give you dry socket, and they will have to open the gums up and pack them with medicated gause.

bad bad thing that.

Hooray! I'm getting 4 wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning. I have to get completely knocked out, and 2 of my teeth are still in my gums. I'm going to ask them to try to save my teeth. All I know, is I'm going to be one miserable ass for quite a few days. I'll let you know how it goes later.. once I recover and am nicely doped up on Tylenol 3's.

I never get anything to numb the pain at the dentist's office, mainly because it doesn't hurt when they drill or whatever they're doing.

Candy bar! Candy bar! I'm going to get a candy bar!

When I was in high school I had an orthodontic appliance installed in my maw that was basically a big spring that attached to bands on my back molars. The very first place my mother took me for lunch? Blimpie's Subs. The first and last time I went there.

It took me three hours to eat a 6-inch sub.

when i was in 5th grade, there was a pie eating contest at some activity night, and some girl smashed my face into the pie and it totally broke my 2 front teeth.
it sucked so bad... and i had to have route canals which took hours... such a horrible experience. ugh i hate dentists

I woulda hated the pie-face smashing girl instead of the dentists. They were only doing their job.

Ugh. I had a dentist's appointment today, and here I've been so lucky to have had all of one cavity during my life, and it turns out I have THREE!! Not only that, but I have to use this prescription medicine on my gums before I brush, because they're so inflamed. I guess having shitty brushing habits is finally catching up to me.

And to add injury to insult, I have wisdom teeth coming in that need to be extracted, so I'll be probably be spun out on Vikes for a couple days, which I really don't want, but as high of a pain tolerance as I normally have, I just don't when it comes to my teeth. I'd prefer ritual suicide to ever having to wear braces again.

I am soo with you there skier, likely cause I work with my uncle (the dentist) and I don't appreciate those who bad mouth dentists. (that wasn't meant to be a pun, but it works )

I got my widsoms out yesterday morning .. it wasn't as bad as I thought.

The worst part is not being able to eat ANYTHING. It took me 4 hours to eat about 10 fries.. and I've only been able to eat soup and kraft dinner since then. And, the drugs they gave me make me so high that I just fall asleep. I've slept like 21/24 hours.. I can't complain too much. I enjoy laying in bed all day and being catered to
