That really doesn’t explain anything about why you didn’t have the dentist (or even pretty much anyone else) do it for you instead.

I’m only a dude, but I’ve actually partly dremeled out one of my teeth before, no anesthetic, to drain an abscess that wasn’t about to drain itself.

That is patently insane, you can not just write that without mentioning anything about what circumstances could possibly have led to you being in a position where you had access to a drill but had no option but to operate it yourself.

Were you the last survivor on a research station on Antarctica in the middle of winter where the entire crew died of tooth abscesses leaving you the last man standing and help wouldn’t be able to arrive for months?

I’m struggling to come up with any other scenario where this could possibly happen.

This is the point where I strongly disagree with you, constantly mistaking less than ¼ for being the most likely is not easily made, there’s a good reason for why the expression US Defaultism exists, because a particular mindset is required for such a mistake to be easily made.

Around 1½ billion people in the world know English, less than ¼ of them live in the US.
