Review

If all you're looking for in a horror movie are revolting pictures, The Dentist should be a real treat. Other than that, however, this is offensive movie making at its best/worst. Brian Yusna directs this more or less as an infomercial – either for or against dental hygiene, take your (tooth) pick. Whatever plot you may find here exists solely as an excuse for displaying the evils a wicked dentist could carry out. What's next? The Gynecologist?
