COMEDY WITH A PROBLEM: IT'S TERMINALLY UNFUNNY

This was to be the first of a series of comedies cued to the enormous success of, and utilizing many of the same players from, England's "Carry On" comedies. Only two were made, and this one demonstrates the principal shortcoming leading to the series' end. Despite the presence of an attractive cast, and the same frantic pace which commanded audience approval for the "Carry On" films, "Dentist in the Chair" is betrayed by an extraordinarily inane script.

Trivia
"Salacious" dialogue had to be re-voiced in order to gain a "U" certificate from the BBFC. The most obvious example occurs when Philip Gilbert, playing a possibly gay patient, tells dentist Bob Monkhouse, "My trouble's all in my uppers. My bottom set's fine." The original line was "My bottom's fine."

Quotes
[the tutor asks David Cookson how to revive a patient who has collapsed under anaesthetic. David gives the wrong answer]
David Cookson: I'll get the hang of it, sir, I promise.
Dental Instructor: You'll either get the hang of it or else you'll hang for it.

Crazy credits
Initial caption in opening credits: "There is no dental hospital in the country that will accept responsibility for what happens in this film. Neither will the producers."
