The Dragon Dentist (Japanese: 龍の歯医者, Hepburn: Ryū no Haisha) is an 8-minute-long original net animation written and directed by Ōtarō Maijō that was released as the first part of Hideaki Anno's weekly series Japan Animator Expo.

Nonoko is a newly appointed dentist and her mission is to protect the dragon, the guardian of the country, from tooth-cavity bacteria.

His name is Bell, and he has been resurrected from inside the tooth by the dragon—a supernatural phenomenon that legend says occurs before a major disaster.

Yoshitaka Koyama composed the series music, while Toru Noguchi produced sound effects under the direction of Toshiharu Yamada.

[6][7] The 8-minute long Dragon Dentist short was first shown at the Tokyo International Film Festival in October 2014,[2][3] before being posted online with English subtitles on 7 November 2014.

"[11] Salvador GRodiles of Japanator thought that the story was "a bit weak" but had interesting visuals, and had "potential" if Maijō were to expand on it.
