It’s likely that no person on this planet likes the high-pitched whine and buzzing of a dentist’s drill as it roots around in your mouth. In fact, just thinking about it makes me cringe. Fortunately, a clever dentist realized the anxiety the sound caused, and hacked his own drill to play tunes from an MP3 player. That’s a concept I can work with.
Dr. Dhanni Gustiana from Java, Indonesia noticed the fear in his patients, many of whom are children, and did a little research. It turns out it’s not the dentist who scares the crap out of them, it’s the drill. So Gustiana spent six million rupiah (about $595) and modified his regular drill to play MP3’s. This guy is so cool he even lets the patient make requests.
