Dentists Use DVDs To Distract, Drill

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Thursday, October 25, 2007 2:18 PM

The RelaxView 5.0 Dental Pack is a sunglass-style display that is specifically designed to wear while having your teeth scraped and your gums mangled by your sadistic dentist.

It's lightweight, compact and won't interfere with that important dentist/patient communication, so, combine it with a handheld DVD player for a distracting dental experience!

"It is all about focus" according to Dr. Rob Roef, dentist in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. "Patients that, only occasionally see, hear, taste and smell the things that happen in a dentistry tend to become very sensitive even for the more simple procedures."

Whether you can hook your 360 up to the thing for some dental-chair fragging is unclear, but TheFeed prefers watching videos of fascist political rallies and napalming while Dr. Ludovico scrapes our gums anyway.

Great idea, except that only a DVD player (not the actual DVD) is included. If a dentist offers a selection of DVDs on this, he/she would be violating the license of a typical WalMart purchased DVD (but not if the patient brings in his/her own DVD). I imagine that if every dentist has this in the next 5-7 years, there will be a good number of lawsuits filed by the film studios.

Nitros Oxide is the only distraction I need. It's fun to get legally high on drugs. Marijuana gets old after a while.
