Greg Myers Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just look at all those great tools, the air powered drill the little air blower thingie, can't get much more light than that. How about the little swing out trays? Now , are you comfy? Gotta admit an adjustable chair like that's gotta improve yer buildin' skills.

Miatatom Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Sorry but that chair doesn't provide me with anything I can enjoy. Clench factor = 10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Wann Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 YUP!! SURE HAVE. They stick resin and silicone materials in your mouth too to make impressions and temporary crowns. Resin and silicone is a really big world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Not a thought of a model in the dentist chair, worried about the pain. My dentist has bad breath always go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The laughing gas and knock-out stuff makes you see/think all sorts of weird things.... I have tried to buy the picks/scribers from my dentist, though. No luck. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter31a Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm usually thinking "If this dental hygienist jams that metal pointy probe in my gums one more time I'm gonna kill her…" Models are no where near my mind….. But you have a valid point in that they have some cool tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Absolutely Greg, on my visits I ask for their spare tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Not the chair, but I got springs, wires and elastics from my ortho, Now there is a place to cast in the lab greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dptydawg Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 My former dentist (now retired) used to save picks and drill bits for me, His replacement is not nearly as into models as the old one. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 There was actually a 1950s dentist chair in the classifieds I saw here a while ago... Didn't like the thought of being stabbed in the gums, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkPile Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 And a proper place to spit too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDO Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I did think of using dentist's chair as an astronomical binocular or telescope mount. Imagine having it fixed in place on a chair that reclines and automatically follows what you're observing. (That feature would have to be built, but it is entirely possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I never thought of this, only problem for me is that on days like today, I might fall asleep with an X-Acto knife in my hand and a model in my lap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfinger Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am always looking around to see what could be adapted to my workbench...so far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to get any of their tools.....but I haven't given up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
