Dentist on the Job – 1961 | 88 mins | Comedy | B&W

Plot Synopsis

Dentist on the Job is the disappointing sequel to the equally lacklustre Dentist in the Chair (1960). There’s very few gags to be found in this poor relation to the Carry On franchise, the only saving graces being the comic talent of Kenneth Connor and the eye-catching allure of Shirley Eaton.

Duff (Reginald Beckwith), an advertising executive looking for ways to sell his pharmaceutical company’s latest product, ‘Dreem’ toothpaste, solves the problem with a highly dishonest trip to King Alfred’s Dental College. David (Bob Monkhouse) and Brian (Ronnie Stevens), a dim-witted pair of newly qualified dental school graduates, endorse the product without reading the contract, not realising they’ll be struck-off for doing so. When they discover the existing toothpaste is rubbish, they set about developing a revolutionary new product they would be proud. They employ the help of ex-convict Sam (Kenneth Connor), and ‘Dreem’ girl, Jill (Shirley Eaton), to assist in their wacky adventure to both create and promote the toothpaste. Standing in their way is company executive Macreedy (Richard Wattis) who does everything within his power to sabotage their efforts.
