A dental locum is someone that comes in and takes the place of a dentist when they are sick. Sort of like a substitute teacher.

locum is Latin for place. In this case it is short for locum tenens.
This means holding the place.
In the medical profession, some one who is working as a locum tenens is substituting for the doctor while he is away.
