Dentist in the Chair is a 1960 British comedy film directed by Don Chaffey and starring Bob Monkhouse, Ronnie Stevens, Eric Barker and Vincent Ball.

[9] The film was one of a series of low budget comedies starring Bob Monkhouse that followed the success of Carry On Sergeant.

[11][12] Monkhouse later said he turned down the chance to appear in more Carry On films to make Dentist in the Chair as the latter paid him three times as much.

Uninhibited nonsense, it’s been cleaning up in the provinces and is currently proving that its out-of-town success wasn't a flash in the pan.

Don Chaffey's direction tends to let the screenplay take care of itself but, helped by some energetic overplaying, the result is amiable minor league entertainment.

If the flimsy plot about stolen instruments at a dental training school isn't bad enough, the ghastly gags will set your teeth on edge.
