About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early for his routine checkup at Amherst Village Dental. As he waited in the empty lobby, he noticed something peculiar on the receptionist’s desk—a small, old-fashioned keychain with a strange symbol etched into it. Curious, he picked up the keychain and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Just then, the receptionist appeared and asked if everything was alright. ‘Just wondering what this odd symbol means,’ he replied. She laughed softly and said, “Oh that? It’s just our office mascot—an ancient tooth fairy charm.” The old man nodded, smiling, realizing that sometimes even dental offices have their own little secrets.
2. One afternoon, while a young dental hygienist was cleaning teeth in one of Amherst Village’s quiet offices, she heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the wall. Curious but not alarmed, she finished her work and left for the day. The next morning, however, the humming returned—stronger than ever—and seemed to be getting closer. Soon enough, the humming turned into a deep voice whispering, ‘Just give me two more minutes!’ It was the dentist himself, napping in his office after lunch. The young hygienist burst out laughing when she realized what was happening, and the whole village had a good laugh too—they’d always thought Dr. Amherst was just a bit eccentric.
3. While a delivery driver was unloading packages into the back room, he overheard two patients whispering about something strange happening in the waiting area. Curious, the delivery guy peeked around the corner and saw an elderly gentleman dozing off with his mouth wide open, drool gently dripping onto a magazine. A sign above read: ‘Please keep your mouth closed while waiting.’ The driver cleared his throat loudly—just enough to wake everyone up but not scare them away—and everyone burst out laughing.
4. While loading boxes into the storage room, a delivery driver noticed something odd—a small wooden carving nestled among the supplies. Curious, he picked it up and found himself staring at a meticulously detailed model of a toothbrush with a handle shaped like a tiny toothpaste tube. Upon closer inspection, the driver realized that the ‘toothpaste’ was actually miniature teeth arranged in rows. He burst out laughing, imagining someone using this as a novelty gift. As he placed it back, an elderly neighbor walked in, asking if everything was okay—little did she know she’d just missed seeing one of Amherst Village’s latest dental artworks.
