"Dentist" is the twenty-first episode in the sixth season of Adventure Time. It's the one hundred and seventy-seventh episode overall.
Synopsis
When Finn's toothache gets too much to take, he has no choice but to visit the dentist, where he encounters an old foe.
Plot
The episode starts with Finn in the bathroom complaining about severe tooth pain while Jake's inside Finn's mouth investigating a tooth that is seriously diseased and black, telling Finn to "go dentist". Finn refuses and runs off crashing through the bottom covering of the treehouse. Jake manages to convince Finn to go dentist.
After that, Finn is next seen being put in a well with snakes and butter, which transport him into the Ant Nation. He is appointed by Lieutenant Gamergate to go to the general's office. In the office, General Tarsal makes Finn a soldier and assigns him a partner - Tiffany Oiler.
Finn goes to have a meal, where he meets with Tiffany.
The next day, Tiffany and Finn start their hunt to search for giant worms, while they have their conversation, Tiffany runs to an area where he gets a suspicious feeling.
Suddenly, many giant worms dig out of holes. Finn convinces Tiffany to work together and they both kill many of them.
Out of nowhere, the Queen Worm breaks through the ground below them, causing Finn to fall. He quickly grabs onto a ledge. Below him, the Queen Worm opens its mouth right under him. He asks Tiffany for help, which she is unable to do.
Finn slips and falls into the Queen Worm's mouth, but he bounces back as it chokes on him and coughs him back out. He is blown into the air, hitting his head on a sharp rock, which causes his teeth to shatter. Finn accidentally falls on Tiffany, causing him to fall into the Queen Worm's mouth.
Finn wakes up in a bed where he is treated by many ants. His teeth have been fully replaced and General Tarsal tells him that Tiffany is missing in action.
Finn is then transported back to the Grass Lands with the snakes and the butter, where he is welcomed back by the residents. However, he still has to keep his accomplished mission a secret due to the existence of fly spies, which are the enemies of ants.

Cultural references
- One of the ant's names is Gamergate, a type of ant.
- On the wall of General Tarsal's office is the phrase "sic-semper-ants", a play on the phrase "sic-semper-tyrannis", which is Latin for "thus always to tyrants", so the phrase "sic-semper-ants" should mean "thus always to ants".
- "sic-semper-tyrannis" was believed by some to have been said by Marcus Junius Brutus when he assassinated Julius Caesar, although it is doubtful whether he did say it.
- John Wilkes Booth shouted out this phrase when he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln (in real life history).
- "sic-semper-tyrannis" is nowadays used as a rallying call against an abuse of power, and is the official motto of the U.S. state of Virginia.
