Dentist’s tool (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drill

'dentist's tool' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for drill that I've seen before include "Bore (a hole); fabric" , "Instruct" , "Rehearsal of the procedure to be followed in an emergency" , "DIY tool" , "Rehearsal; boring tool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate and the LA Times.
