My dentist borrowed my flashlight for my surgery

Paul_in_Maryland · Mar 1, 2006

Yesterday I spent four hours at the dentist's, being prepped and fitted for a crown. At my suggestion, he had his assistant aim my Digilight T9 into my mouth from up close. He said that it really lit up the view. At one point I had to motion for the assistant to hold the lamp farther away; the heat was burning my lip.

How did you say that with a mouth full of dental instruments?
"Hobe da ligh' awaw...ur 'urning aye libbit!" :laughing:

Gave the dentist a light to work with? The only thing dummer I heard was my friend's Uncle. Back in Poland, he had to pedal his own pain to have a tooth drilled. Naturally, this was years ago. Not sure if he kidding or not.

Take along your Dremmel tool with you in your next visit.

The dentist also used his customary dental lamp on an articulated arm. I just thought it would be cool to ask him to use my light as a supplement.

I guess a head lamp with a narrow beam would make more sense than a flashlight.

Hope he gave you a discount for using your flashlight to do the work!
