By die Tande Dokter ("At the Dentist" - literally "at the tooth doctor") is a Dutch/ Afrikaans one-act comedy ("blijspel") by Melt Brink.
Also written Bij die Tande-dokter or Bij die Tande Dokter
The original text
First performed by Aurora in 1905(?), it originally published as Bij die Tande-dokter by De Bussy (Pretoria) and HAUM (Cape Town) in 1905, and then reprinted in 1911, 1917, 1921.
Performances
The play was apparently performed, adapted and translated under a variety of titles by various societies over the years. E.g as Oom Piet met syn Tand Pyn by "Domkrag", published in Beaufort West Courier (from 1869). De Koerier Beaufort West, 27 November 1910, as Tandpyn by the CJV Nooitgedacht-Suid in 1914, and In die stoel van die Tandarts tr. by "Ware Afrikaner".**
The play has also formed part of some versions of Robert Mohr's revue-compilation Ons Hou Konsert (1967) and the various later versions of it.
