There was a sadistic horror film made in 1996 starring Corbin Bernsen called “The Dentist.” It was popular enough that they made a sequel in 1998.

Fans of watching root canals and teeth extractions are in luck. Welcome to the 2020 US Open at Winged Foot, where pain and misery without anesthesia are on tap for the world’s best golfers. This film is rated R for “rough” and is not suitable for all audiences.
