2When Finn's toothache gets too much to take, he has no choice but to go Dentist.
3----
4!!Tropes:
5* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The Finn Sword cuts through the giant worms like they were nothing.
6* BashBrothers: Finn and Tiffany have surprisingly good fighting chemistry. Jake would be jealous.
7* BrickJoke: Finn imagines a "spy fly" being a fly wearing a little fedora and ConspicuousTrenchcoat. Near the end of the episode, a spy fly goes by that looks exactly like Finn imagined it.
8* BugWar: A literal one between the army ants and the [[BigCreepyCrawlies giant worms]] employed by fly spies. The ants offer to fix Finn's teeth if he will fight for them.
9* CallBack: Tiffany still resents Finn for the events of "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS1E9MyTwoFavoritePeople My Two Favorite People]]"
10* ChairReveal: Parodied; General Tarsal insists on dramatically turning around in her swivel chair to greet Finn, even though she wasn't in her office when Finn came in.
11* ContinuityNod: Tiffany lost most of his teeth because he ate the Baker's Shard from "One Last Job". He also plans on making Jake into a thief once more.
12* TheDentistEpisode: PlayedWith. The episode starts with Finn being afraid to "go Dentist" to fix his toothache. As it turns out, going Dentist means "joining the ants in their war against worms in exchange for dental work", and though Finn gets his teeth fixed in the end, most of the episode is about his TeethClenchedTeamwork with Tiffany.
13* EnemyMine: Finn's partner in the bug war is Tiffany, a sworn enemy and rival for Jake's friendship. While Finn has mellowed out and is willing to let bygones be bygones, Tiffany wants Finn dead.
14* EverybodyKnewAlready: All of Finn's friends knew that "going dentist" meant working for ants in exchange for dental work. They keep it a secret in case spy flies are listening in.
15* GoodOldFisticuffs: While Finn uses a sword, Tiffany fights the worms with his own two fists and manages to keep up with him.
16* IceCreamKoan: Tiffany tries to threaten Finn with cryptic nonsense, but Finn just gets confused.
17* IllKillYou: Tiffany sure doesn't waste time expressing his desire to kill Finn when they meet.
18* JabbaTableManners: With most of his teeth gone, Tiffany is a sloppy eater.
19* {{Kaiju}}: Tiffany wants to make Jake into the biggest thief ever. So big, that Jake would just steal entire bank buildings.
20* LaserGuidedKarma: After Tiffany refuses to save Finn from falling into the head worm's mouth, the head worm chokes on Finn, spits him out, and Finn ends up knocking Tiffany off the foothold into the worm.
21* MurderTheHypotenuse: Platonic version: Tiffany tries to kill Finn in order to replace him as Jake's best friend.
22* NeverFoundTheBody: General Tarsal reports that the head worm apparently choked to death on Tiffany, but Tiffany couldn't be found.
23* PregnantBadass: General Tarsal is the queen of the army ants and is also heavily pregnant.
24* TalkingSword: The Finn Sword contains the consciousness of the alternate Finn it was made from and can talk to Finn.
25* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Tiffany may hate Finn's guts, but they kick a lot of worm butt together.
26* TheToothHurts:
27** Finn goes dentist to fix his rotten tooth. Tiffany lost most of his teeth when he ate the Baker's Shard.
28** During the worm battle, Finn is launched headfirst into a stalactite and shatters all of his teeth. Good thing the army ants are incredible dentists.
29* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Finn falls into the head worm's mouth, but she chokes on him and spits him out. Then Tiffany gets swallowed up and the head worm chokes to death.
30* UnfriendlyFire: Tiffany tries to kill Finn this way, but Finn caught him in the act.
31* VegetarianCarnivore: The army ants eat fruit and sugar, despite real army ants being carnivorous.
32* VisualPun: The army ants literally act like a military base.
