"The Dentist" is a 1622 painting by Dutch artist Gerrit van Honthorst, who was a prominent member of the Utrecht Caravaggisti during the Dutch Golden Age. This work is an example of the genre painting for which Honthorst became renowned, depicting scenes of everyday life with a particular focus on the use of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting effects influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio.

The painting portrays a scene in which a dentist, or a tooth-puller, is extracting a tooth from a patient. The figures are typically set against a dark background, with the faces illuminated to enhance their expressions and the drama of the moment. The dentist, often dressed in contemporary attire, is shown concentrating on his task, while the patient usually exhibits a grimace, capturing the pain and apprehension associated with dental procedures of the time.

"The Dentist" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into medical practices and social conditions of the 17th century. Honthorst's attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion and narrative through his use of light and shadow make this painting a notable example of his work and of the Caravaggisti style.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or displayed in a museum, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the understanding of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age. The work is often cited in discussions of Honthorst's oeuvre and is considered an important piece for those studying Northern European art from the period.
