A dental tool comprising:

• a main body portion having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, wherein the first end and the second end define respective reduced diameter portions;
• a tool attachment comprising a working portion and a base portion, the base portion configured to be removably coupled to either of the reduced-diameter portions of the main body portion so as to secure the tool attachment to the main body portion;
• and
• a light source, disposed within the main body portion, arranged so as to illuminate the working portion of the tool attachment when the tool attachment is coupled to the first end of the main body portion and the light source is electrically coupled to a power source;
