* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Jean creates a cast of Frank's teeth as part of her plan to frame him for murder, and uses them on his brother after shooting him. Frank escapes this... by removing his teeth and putting them in Harlan's mouth, this making it look like ''Frank'' was the one killed. And unfortunately for Jean, there turns out to be video footage of her shooting "Frank" in the head...]]

''Novocaine'' is a 2001 Black Comedy starring SteveMartin, LauraDern, and HelenaBonhamCarter, directed by DavidAtkins.
It follows Frank Sangster (Martin), a dentist with a successful business and perfect fiancé Jean (Dern), who one day meets an attractive but shifty new patient, Susan (Bonham-Carter). Susan asks Frank for a not-entirely-legal pain medication prescription, and not long after, his life begins a downward spiral of lies and conspiracies.

!!''Novocaine'' contains examples of
* BrotherSisterIncest: A rather disturbing example with Susan's brother, who demonstrates a blatant sexual (albeit drug-addled) attraction to her.
* TheCameo: An uncredited KevinBacon has two small scenes as an actor researching an upcoming role.
* ChekhovsArmoury: Pretty much everything mentioned in the first five minutes comes full circle by the end.
* DomesticAbuse: Susan's first appearance has her with a bruise on her face, and later she has a bloody nose from her brother.
* EurekaMoment: [[spoiler: Frank sees a commercial for denture cement, and suddenly it becomes clear that everything that has happened is part of a plot by Jean to take over his business (He remembered that she was practicing making dentures earlier, and that a cast of his own teeth were made]].
* PrettyLittleHeadshots: Apparently a face full of ''buckshot'' is a hell of a lot cleaner than you'd normally [[YourHeadAsplode expect]].
* TheToothHurts: To be expected from a black comedy thriller centered around a dentist. [[spoiler: In the climax, Frank fakes his death by ripping out all his teeth and that of his deceased brother Harlan, and placing his teeth into Harlan's mouth, and finally burning down the building.]]
