130 DENTAL DRILLS BUZZ IN ONE ROOM
If the sound of a dentist’s drill gives you a slightly weak sensation, imagine a hundred and thirty of them going at once! This is the number of dental chairs, complete with every modern piece of equipment, that line the monster hall at the University of Pennsylvania where students of dentistry learn their profession. Since the embryo dentists have already acquired a high degree of skill before being allowed to treat actual cases, volunteer patients are not hard to find.

I think that you’d be quite right! My teeth hurt just *reading* about the sound!

I used to work at a restaurant that abutted a machine shop and when they were lathing metal the whole place vibrated. I’d just say to customers, “Oh, don’t mind that. It’s just the dentists’ office next door…”
They’d always shudder.
