* BaitAndSwitchComment: Dan's "No, you shut up!" conservation ends with him happily saying, "Okay, bye, Grandma."
* BaitTheDog: Pullum presents himself as a very friendly guy that's always smiling and trying to make his patients comfortable, essentially being the exact opposite as Dan describes him to be. He's actually a DepravedDentist and hammy supervillain that relishes causing others pain.



* BigNo: Pullman, after Dan activates the self-destruct.



-->'''Dan:''' Rinse ''that'' out and spit!

** After Pullum's tooth-shaped fortress is blown up.
--->'''Dan:''' Now, that's what I call tooth decay!



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Chris is openly aware of Elise working on a supercomputer and notes her ability to perform an emergency tracheostomy. In later episodes, he is blissfully unaware of all aspects of her job and skills.

* HellYesMoment: Dan is positively giddy when Elise goes over the secret code and confirms he was right about Pullum.



* IWarnedYou: Outside Pullum's fortress, Dan rubs it in Chris's face that he was right about the guy being a supervillain and demands an apology.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Even after Elise confirms Pullum is up to some shady stuff, Chris balks at calling the guy an outright supervillain. Then, after chasing him into the janitor's closet, Dan finds a lever that reveals a hidden firepole behind a sliding wall.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Dan tells Chris that he should really admit to Elise that her violent horror movies keep giving him nightmares.



* MechaMooks

to:

* MechaMooksLaserGuidedKarma: Pullum enjoyed being a DepravedDentist. Dan ends up breaking all of his teeth.
* MeaningfulEcho: "It's Dan. I'm a grown man with grown man needs."
* MechaMooks: Outside the fortress, Dan and Chris face three Dentobots.



* NoodleIncident: After the uproar that Dan causes at the clinic, the nurse asks if he behaved this way during his last visit. Pullum just remarks that Dan was smaller.
* NothingIsScarier: Elise's horror movie is titled ''Chainsaw Bloodbath''. Chris is naturally terrified and desperately trying to pretend otherwise.
-->'''Elise:''' Are you sure you're enjoying this?\\
'''Chris:''' It's a guy with a chainsaw in an orphanage. What's not to--whoa, momma! That's a lot of blood.

* SkywardScream: Dan as usual, but Pullum also does this during the final scene.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: "Dentobots" is the name that Pullum has on his control panel for his robot mooks. When confronted by the robots, Chris immediately shouts the name without any prompting.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Dan finds out that headbutting a robot really hurts.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Pullum's ultimate plan is to activate a device that will allow him to control the minds of anyone that's ever had any dental work.
