Here is the YouTube link, totally worth watching but scaring me to death: from International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology:

And there should be special ventilation, as friction from the drill substantially enhances vapour release. Some would argue that a prophylactic dose of DMSA is in order, since it's hard to perfectly protect against a minor burst of exposure during removal. I haven't looked up the protocol lately, but it should be easy to find a dentist who understands the risks involved.
