    I wont be using any of the real dental machines/drills in the first year. i'll use a small bolt, almost like a pen, to craft a prosthetic mould of teeth. it's loud but thats pretty much it. with correct ear protection it shouldnt be harmful. wont be using it daily, simply for a day max

    Oh i understand. However, pretty much 90% of dentists dont wear any sort of ear protection. of course, i dont know this for fact, but lets be honest, most dont. So say the average noise in the room is around 90db. with GOOD hearing protection you can lower your exposure significantly. If i was...
