I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's possible to sit' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'in the dentist's chair' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TIS' is hidden within 'dentists chair'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
