Dentist on the Job (1961)

Not to be confused with the considerably more interesting Danish Dentist on the Job, this has Bob Monkhouse as a grinning, perky idiot who becomes a dentist and gets into 'hilarious' scrapes. Fat women in chairs, laughing gas and wrongly yanked teeth raise no smiles at all. Thank God they don't make films like this any more, and then remember Nuns on the Run and get depressed.
