What are some horror dentist stories?

Well, there are stories where some Mexican dentists overcharge tourists. They might give an initial quote for a simple filling, but then during the procedure, they claim there are more problems and end up charging a huge amount that the patient wasn't expecting. Also, there are cases where dentists have misdiagnosed patients, for example, saying a tooth needs extraction when it could have been saved with a simple treatment.

One horror story is when a patient went in for a simple filling. The dentist accidentally drilled too deep and hit a nerve. The pain was excruciating and the patient had to endure weeks of additional pain and special treatments to fix the nerve damage.

One common element is pain. Like when the anesthesia doesn't work well, or the dentist is too rough. For example, I heard of a case where the dentist was pulling a tooth and it felt like he was yanking it out without any care.

Well, lack of empathy from the dentist is often seen in these stories. Some dentists seem more focused on getting the job done rather than the patient's comfort. This can make a simple visit to the dentist turn into a horror story. Equipment malfunction can also play a part. Imagine if the drill suddenly stops working in the middle of a cavity filling. In addition, misdiagnosis is a big one. A dentist might think a tooth just needs a filling when in fact it has a more serious issue like a root canal problem, which can lead to a lot of pain and multiple, unnecessary procedures for the patient.

One of the scariest stories is when a dentist was distracted during a procedure. He was on his phone and as a result, he drilled into the wrong tooth. The patient was horrified and had to go through additional procedures to fix the damaged tooth. Another situation is when a dentist didn't use enough anesthesia. The patient could feel most of the pain during a filling. And some dentists' offices are not very clean. There have been reports of finding bugs or dirt in the dental chair area, which is really off - putting for patients.

Once I went to a dentist who seemed really impatient. He started drilling without waiting for the anesthesia to fully take effect. I felt this sharp pain and couldn't even tell him to stop as my mouth was wide open. It was a nightmare.

One horror story is when a patient went in for a simple filling but the dentist accidentally drilled into a nerve. The pain was excruciating and led to long - term nerve damage. Another is a case where a dentist used dirty tools, which caused a serious infection in the patient's mouth. And some patients have reported dentists being extremely rough during procedures, like yanking out teeth without proper anesthesia.
