Well, a friend of mine1) once used a Dremel to drill a hole in one of his molars.
He was away on an assembly job am Arsch der Welt, it was Sunday, and he was in extreme pain (before drilling).
Went to the dentist two days later; dentist told him that he basically did the right thing, if a bit crude, and finished the job.
1) Marcus, if you read this, sorry for borrowing. The next round is mine.
