Robot helps doctors remove dental drill bit man inhaled while getting a filling

A few years ago, while having a tooth drilled & filled, the drill bit came off and landed on the very back of my tongue. Of course, I was laying nearly flat at the time. The dentist wanted to get it with some tweezer type tool…but I pushed her away, sat up the best I could, and hacked once and the bit came out. I think it freaked out the dentist more than it did me.
