Adventures of a Dentist (Russian: Похождения зубного врача, romanized: Pokhozhdyeniya zubnovo vracha) is a 1965 Soviet dark comedy film directed by Elem Klimov on Mosfilm. It is currently available to view through the Criterion Channel, and is occasionally screened at film festivals.
A dentist is derided (and nearly has his life ruined) by his jealous colleagues for his natural talent of painlessly pulling out teeth.
