Fun Indonesian Drill

RBC 041012

Almost all people have a fear of going to the dentist. However, an enterprising doctor from Indonesia solved this problem: he created a musical drill that will make patients smile. Now the grimace of suffering on their faces will disappear, writes The Daily Mail.

Dr. Dhanny Gastiana notes that its development is primarily aimed at children. "They are not afraid of dentists, they are frightened by the drill. I modified the device by attaching a silicone toy to its head, which, as I explain to little patients, will brush their teeth," the author says.

Now his clients will listen not to the usual unpleasant buzz, but to music from an MP3 player. In addition, the new drill creates multi-colored light flashes. When the patient opens his mouth, the music plays louder. He can even ask us to download favorite tunes,” notes D. Gastiana, who spent 372 pounds sterling on modifying the drill.

Every day the doctor takes about 15 people and they are all delighted with the invention. Among those who want to test the novelty, not only children, but also adults - dental treatment has almost become a pleasure.

"A very interesting development. Children listen to music and forget that they have a drill in their mouth. It is a good idea to overcome fear," say dentist patients. According to D. Gastiana, during musical treatment, many children do not even realize what is actually happening.

In March of this year, he presented his invention at the International Dental Congress in Greece.
