You really should have found a different dentist. Even when I was a
kid in the 60s mine was using an air turbine drill. Actually he had a
high speed air drill, a low speed air drill, and a cord and pully
drill--the last one he used for polishing after a cleaning and for no
other purpose that I am aware of.


As for dremels, there's a kawasaki kit (yes, it's even flourescent
green) at CostCo for about USD35. Includes stand, flex shaft and
bunches of bits.

Googling it that looks like a really good deal, mainly because of the
"bunches of bits". Have to go check it out and see what's
included--if it's got a good range of cutters it's worth 35 bucks even
if you toss the tool.
