I think this may be based on real events. My oral surgeon who did some tooth removals in the 1970’s was apparently drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers (late draft pick, they had nobody else they wanted on the team, so they gave their oral surgeon an honor.). Since this strip is 1974, the timing is right.

If he was smart, he picked the losers. They seem to get beat up more often.

Makes sense but any dentist would do for that. Need not be an orthodontist.
