    see, the problem with that last statement is that it’s too broad. I can think of a few tools that are definitely safe to use on my teeth, therefore what else are you wrong about?

      Well, a dremel can seem like a good idea to many people. However, they have a nasty habit of skipping and chattering off hard enamel. If it rebounds into the soft tissue of the cheek, it doesn’t simply make a cut - it rolls itself into the cheek tissue like it’s twisted up in a sheet and gets stuck.

      Jokes on them, I don’t even own a garage. My power tools live in the craft room and the utility closet.

        exactly! too vague and too specific!

        I wasn’t told anything about my indoor power tools, or my unpowered tools!

        any low speed (<2000rpm) handheld rotary tool with a buffing wheel ain’t gonna do much. i.e. drills

        a palm sander with a soft attachment is basically just an electric toothbrush

        compressed air isn’t going to hurt your teeth. and leaf blower low pressure air certainly isn’t. like the other guy said. same for vacuums.

        that’s really about it. I was exaggerating a bit for comedic effect when I said “a few”, because tbh I didn’t think much about it.

        oh and of course you can always stick your head in a lathe, lathes are like the super safest tool there is
