Synopsis/Details

Buckler goes to see his dentist, Dr. Holbrook. He asks to have all of his teeth pulled, saying they have turned evil. Holbrook tries to calm him down, but Buckler is insistent. Buckler displays his bandaged and swollen thumb. He says it happened when his teeth bit him. He can't even sleep anymore, as his teeth grind together - keeping him awake. He hasn't been eating either, as his teeth refuse to chew. He believes it has something to do with all the dental x-rays he's recently received and maybe something he contracted at his science lab job.

Holbrook agrees to look to see why his patient can't chew. At that moment, one of Buckler's teeth lodges in his throat, choking him. Despite the nurse's best efforts, he dies.

It is then that all of Buckler's teeth pop from his mouth, organize, and start flying at the humans - chewing on their skin. Both the doctor and the nurse die from these attacks.

Shortly, an older patient arrives for her cleaning and finds the dead bodies. She screams and nearly vomits at the sight. The teeth fly at at her, shortly killing her as well.

Their hunger momentarily sated, the teeth walk to the waiting room and form a tower to the doorknob which leads outside. They hear a car door slam . They happily collapse the tower, huddle together, and wait.
