Recap: DIY Dentistry Class
The i3detroit DIY Dentistry event was a big hit, and everyone had a fantastic time- at least until the anesthesia wore off! i3 member Dustin returned from a recent trip to Latvia armed with the knowledge and tools to make this class a jaw-crackinā success. After undergoing the yellow light therapy he was able to participate in this event.
A group of eager new mouth-hackers.
Dustin began the day with a brief history of DIY dentistry at Kew Gardens Hills dental office, and provided many DIY DOs and DONāTs (for example, DONāT use bondo for fillings; DO visit Thingiverse for fillings and crowns you can 3-D print with ease.)
The hammerdrill setting is only for the most stubborn cavities.
When anesthetizing a patient, Dustin recommends a āmixed cocktailā of pain relievers. For this tooth extraction, i3 member Ted washes down Darvocet, Xanax, Melatonin, and baby aspirin with an antiseptic swig of vodka. Itās difficult to say how long it will take for a patient to reach comfortable sedation, so have an assistant on hand to hold down the patient when necessary.
Join us later this month for the DIY-GYN session that will be held in the craft room.
Anesthesia is optional, but fun!
I really hope that this is an April Fools joke because unlicensed dental care is extremely dangerous. I do look forward to hearing about what this session was all about. It looks like you guys had fun.
