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."

Wasn't that Avril Angers?

Dentistry is hardly a barrel of laughs, and if this was to be the start of a rival to the Doctors series, all had their work cut out from the kick off. It does begin well with the students' antics and their diffidently exasperated tutor Reginald Beckwith. Kenneth Connor gives the funniest performance, Eric Barker is ideal as the bemused Dean and Peggy Cummins lovely and charming as his niece; Monkhouse a bit of a fish out of water. Half way through things are running out of steam, and the ending is a bit wet. All quite painless overall though for fans of British comedies of the period. Wasn't that the superb comedienne Avril Angers in the small role as the second tea lady Maggie, masquerading under the rhyming slang moniker Rosie Lee?
