Nine in ten dentists recommend carving up that iPhone dock your own dang self

But not this guy. Seriously, he's gonna stick drill that in somebody's mouth after this? Not ours, no thank you. Tipster Adam Marcus wanted to make some room for his iPhone 3G in his old iPhone dock, and got a teeth fixin' out of the whole deal, but we'd say somebody should call the dentist police on the both of them.

"I've spent hundreds of hours of my life with a 300K rpm, 90-degree handpiece in my hands"

I don't know why, but reading this from Dana got me a little hot.

Be careful, Dana might be a dude!

@ Galley:

So? Mikey could be totally into dudes. Or just really hot for 300K rpm, 90-degree handpieces. I'm starting to think that I am...

He's in the LAB and not in an exam room. That's where they work on dental appliances made out of all sort of materials. Once the work is done they are cleaned before being taken back to the patient.

Man, I never knew what a bunch of anti-dentites are on engadget... next thing you know, engadget is going to start suggesting that they get segregated to their own schools!

I'm in dental school, and the fact is that all burs are/can be replaced on a regular basis. So theoretically he could just change to a new bur after 'modding' his iphone dock, which I think would be ok.

That dock is most likely cleaner than someone's else tooth

Dentists use that same thing to adjust fillings and dentures... Who cares???
