Thread: New Use for my Dremel

I did a similar "job" for my wife a few years ago using my little Proxxon tool. Her tooth broke off leaving a little but extremely sharp piece sticking up.She couldn't eat anything without drawing blood and crying and screaming...you know how they are. She couldn't get into a dentist for a week..(I hate Dentist waiting lists! ). So after she'd lost the right amount of weight through her enforced diet, I said.."Oooo...do you want me to fix it?". Anyway...after attacking the wrong tooth at first I finally ground the point off...and now she loves me again!!...The diet went out the window though...*grin"

Shedhand,

To create full dentist authenticity, did you ask youself where you last went on Holidays and what was your answer?

No, but I looked at a June 1976 readers digest afterwards....

Soo, after slashing my tongue on the said remaining half molar for 8 hours or so I spy the Dremel sitting lonely, unused and almost forgotten in the corner. Hmm... methinks, looks like a Dentists tool. I wonder... Anyhoo, off to the bathroom mirror with the trusty Dremel with small conical grinder inserted. 5 minutes later, 1 smooth broken molar. Wonder how much I saved by not going off to the Fluoride carpetbagger (Dentist) . DISCLAIMER: Kiddies, don't try this at home (or anywhere else either).

Sheddie in the Shed.

you can use my band saw just in case your leg falls off, you might be able to sell it to the butcher

The dremel is a avery useful tool for personal care. I use mine to trim my toenails as my feet have grown further away from my arms as I have got older. Other attachments are useful for removing warts and splinters, cleaning infected wounds and removing ear wax.

I wouldnt be without one.

11Pm last night tooth ache started (in a cavity between two of the big buggers at the back of my gob - are they molars?) Anyway this cavernous cavity has been growing for 2 years. (What good is forced fluoridation and thrice a day brushing I ask you), I digress. The pain got so bad (even with 4 Panamax and a very large WhiskyMac) I had to ring the GP Assist people who told me to go to the hospital. After farting a round for an hour and a half they gave me 4 Ibuprofen and told me to go to the big smoke and see a dentist ASAP. Back home 4 hours blissful sleep (4 Panamax, 4 Ibuprofen and a very large WhiskyMac will do that. *-* hic) then off to the big smoke - 3 hour return trip. So, after a 3.5Hr wait (public clinic) and a painful extraction of the back deadun' and a filling of the one that has inherited the role of the back biggun, I asked her (the dentist) to check out the previously Dremelised fang. Had a peek and was impressed with my work. But I somehow think the Dremel wouldn't have been so good with this latest episode. Did I say that she had had an uncanny resemblance to Gregory Peck as she rocked to and fro on the pliers trying to dislodge the offending tooth (it had a hook on it in the jaw). I think the comparison was lost on her.

As are all of we

Those Dremels with a flexible shaft were probably designed by a dentist

Onya Sheddie for innovative application of the Dremel

Cheers

Now that you have done the drilling bit, Sheddie, what do you plan to use for the filling?? - polyfiller or builders bog ??
