The coolest dental instrument by far would have to be THE MATRIX!

YAG laser drill!!!!! Too bad its not an official dental instrument yet
 
lateral condenser...or maybe this one really hardcore scaler we got, I dont know if it has a technical term, we just call it a cement remover.

Im gonna have to say the bubble gum flavored gloves...!!! lol... uncomfortable to wear, but as much joy as a child can have at the dentist..
 
laryngeal mirror....perfect for perfecting your parallel parking skills.

The nitrous oxide mask....hahahahahahahahahahahahaaha.... Turn that thing off.......hahahahhahaahha...really......no kidding......hahahahaha.....stop that...........whew!!!
 
My fingernail...only thing an orthodontist needs. 🙂
Next best would be "the assistant," but that could really be read into the wrong way. 🙂 It' s meant in an ortho context as well...

The spoon excavator is the soccer mom of all the instruments in my cassette -- it excavates, scoops, fills, scrapes, depresses, adjusts the rubber dam -- and the list goes on! What's not to love!😍
 
Of course it has to be the EXPLORER!! That's always the first instrument you pick up so it becomes your best friend real fast ....so i guess as well make it my favorite...
 
dont know what its called,but my dad ordered like 10e7 of em at the GNYDM over thanksgiving weekend...its like a video screen that you and the pt can watch what youre doing on and the camera is in the overhead light that comes down..or something. expensive toys amuse me😀
 
The light curing gun. I stare at it for hours. It's such a pretty blue color!

Is that bad?
