Sure. I heard of a patient whose veneers were fitted too far forward on the teeth. It made their teeth look bulgy and unnatural. It was really obvious that something was wrong with their teeth, and it made the patient self - conscious.
In one instance, the veneers were so poorly fitted that they rubbed against the patient's cheeks. It caused constant irritation and even small cuts on the inside of the cheeks. The patient was in pain and couldn't eat or talk properly. The dentist initially dismissed it as normal discomfort, but when it got worse, they finally realized the fitting was wrong. However, by then, the patient had already suffered a great deal both physically and mentally.
One horror story is when a patient got veneers and they kept falling off. It was a nightmare as they had to keep going back to the dentist. Each time it happened, it was not only inconvenient but also embarrassing.
Sure. There was a case where a patient got a root canal treatment in Colombia. The dentist didn't clean the root canal thoroughly. As a result, bacteria remained and caused a huge abscess. The pain was unbearable for the patient, and it took a long time to get proper treatment to fix the problem. It not only cost a lot more in the end but also caused a great deal of distress.
My friend had veneer on his guitar. He thought it would look cool and protect the wood. But then he left it in a hot car one day. When he took it out, the veneer had warped. The guitar didn't play as well, and it was really hard to fix. He ended up having to take it to a professional luthier, and it cost him a lot of money to get it back in playable condition.
Yes. I know of a situation where the HVAC tech during installation didn't properly seal the ducts. When he came back for a callback due to the system not heating evenly, it was discovered that because of the unsealed ducts, a lot of the warm air was escaping into the attic. This not only made the system inefficient but also led to higher energy bills for the homeowner. The tech had to redo a large part of the duct installation which was a big headache for the homeowner as it took a lot of time and was quite costly.
Well, I heard about someone who used a very hard toothbrush and brushed way too vigorously. They ended up wearing down their enamel, which made their teeth extremely sensitive. Hot or cold foods became a nightmare for them, and they had to go through a lot of treatments to try and repair the damage.
Well, I heard about a patient who went to a Western dental clinic. The dentist there used old and unsterilized equipment. This led to a serious infection in the patient's mouth. The patient had to go through a long course of antibiotics and a lot of pain before the infection was finally under control. Another horror story is that a person got veneers, but the dentist used the wrong adhesive. The veneers started to come off within a few days, and the underlying tooth was damaged in the process.
A local in Mexico went to a dental office that promised quick braces treatment. However, the dentist put on the braces too tightly. This not only caused extreme discomfort but also damaged the teeth roots over time. The patient ended up with loose and weakened teeth, and had to spend a fortune to correct the damage done by the improper braces treatment.
Sure. There was a person who received the wrong dosage of a medication for their colonic condition. It made their symptoms way worse. They had severe diarrhea and cramps that wouldn't go away.
One of my dental horror stories was when I went to get a wisdom tooth pulled. The dentist didn't numb me properly. I could feel every tug and pull as he tried to yank that tooth out. It was excruciating pain that I will never forget.
Well, in some horror stories related to improper surgical techniques in BBL, the surgical incisions were not made or closed properly. This can lead to significant scarring. Moreover, if the anesthesia is not administered correctly during the BBL procedure, it can pose serious risks to the patient's health. The patient may experience excessive bleeding or other life - threatening conditions during the surgery due to these improper techniques.
