Dentists in the media

-Murakami's short stories often depict a dentist character. He has a knack for making the ordinary extraordinary. One is a dentist, whose wife is an unafflicted insomniac that swims furiously at the club and reads thick novels over a glass of liquor, comes home during lunch somedays, and brushes his teeth immediately afterwards.
-Colgate commercials
-Willy Wonka's(whoops) father was a dentist
-The Simpson's episode where Lisa gets braces
-Seinfeld, the dad from Malcolm in the Middle plays a dentist who keeps pornography in his waiting room.
In short, dentists don't get much exposure. That is why the profession is such a well kept secret.
