The galaxy pair AM 1353-272 nicknamed "The Dentist's Chair" shows two ~30 kpclong tidal tails. Previous observations using multi-slit masks showed that theyhost up to seven tidal dwarf galaxies. The kinematics of these tidal dwarfsappeared to be decoupled from the surrounding tidal material. New observationsof the tip of the southern tidal tail with the VIMOS integral field unitconfirm the results for two of these genuine tidal dwarfs but raise doubtswhether the velocity gradient attributed to the outermost tidal dwarf candidateis real. We also discuss possible effects to explain the observationaldifference of the strongest velocity gradient seen in the slit data which isundetected in the new integral field data, but arrive at no firm conclusion.Additionally, low-resolution data covering most of the two interacting partnersshow that the strongest line emitting regions of this system are the centralparts.Comment: Comments welcome, especially ideas to explain the difference between  the two datasets. 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in "Science Perspectives for  3D Spectroscopy", eds.
