What's the worst treatment you've ever gotten from the dentist?

I have trigeminal neuralgia, traditional pain killers don't work on me. I can take codeine or anything and it does not help. Before I was diagnosed, I went to the dentist, he said i had a bad filling, he gave me novacaine, it did not work. I told him that I could not stand the pain, he told me to suck it up, I was fine. I passed out. (He was not my regular dentist) I went back to the same office for a cleaning, when he came in, I said I wanted to see the other guy. The hygienist told that I should apologize to him or he would not see me again. He called me a liar and it it never happened.

I have about 10 horror stories, but mine involve them drilling and pulling. It's been 5 years since I've been to the dentist because of what the last one did to me!! I'm terrified to ever go again. I was 5 months pregnant and I went in because I had a root canal (that I had told them NOT to do) and they damaged a nerve, which caused constant pain.... After about 14 shots in the mouth, I could still feel him trying to pull this tooth!!! My roots were all grown inward and this man was KILLING me! My tooth just would not come out! He ended up just shattering the whole tooth! By the time he was done I had a busted lip in 2 places, and had thrown him completely to the floor because it hurt so bad and he would not stop! He was on top of me pulling down so hard, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I vomited because the pain was so bad. I almost passed out. They had to give me a shot for that! He had bruised the whole front of my face and busted my lip TWICE!! I think I'll get drunk off my butt and pull any more that I ever have to have pulled myself!! (hopefully I don't ever have to have another one pulled!) I have pretty good teeth! Thank Goodness! But, that did me in!

Ouch hun (hugs) I can completely empathise with you as I am still having some trouble with the large gap in my face. I broke a tooth 6 weeks ago and went straight to the dentist. He said he could repair the damage and made an appointment for me for a couple of days later. The following evening another piece of the broken tooth fell out, leaving me with a large hole and a lump of broken tooth. I rang the dentist the following day and he said he couldn't repair the damage but the remains of the tooth would have to come out. He made another appointment for me and I went along to get the remains of the tooth removed. I have the rest of the tooth pulled out but the dentist didn't pack the gap in my gum, or apply any kind of antiseptic wadding. Oh yes, you know what's coming along now, don't you. Within 24 hours I had an infection in the hole and my face swelled up so badly I looked like I had a tennis ball in my mouth. So I went back to the dentist who took one look and said, you have an infection. No Sh£$% Sherlock, so he gave me a prescription for antibiotics and cleaned up the mess in my mouth. I took the prescription to the chemist but he hadn't signed the prescription so I had to go back to the dentist, again, and get him to sign the thing before I could return to the chemist to get the antibiotics. The damn thing is still giving me trouble, even now, and I know I will have to go back to the dental surgery again to get it checked - I hate dentists

Thanks for the best response hun. For what it's worth I am still taking pain killers and getting referred to another dentist. Hugs
