È un romanzo composto da una serie di dodici racconti legati da un filo narrativo e interdentale. A causa di un ascesso terribile, un uomo si reca al Pronto Soccorso dentistico notturno. Sulla poltrona il protagonista della storia, mentre sta cercando di vincere il dolore del trapano, fa volare la fantasia. Ecco allora le storie raccontate da Pinketts: dall'horror al noir, dal surreale al fantastico, i racconti si muovono tutti sul livello del paradosso e della metafora. Per ogni dente un racconto, in un caleidoscopio di immagini, di giochi di parole, di invenzioni fantastiche.
