    I have a study question regarding types of fallacies
    It is morally wrong to cause pain to another person. Therefore, dentists are immoral people.

    I think it is actually a Faulty Generalization, specifically a False Analogy.

    You are arguing an analogy between a dentist performing helpful and necessary medical procedures which can be painful in the short term to physical injury caused by another without medical or positive effect, only to designed to cause harm.
