About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their check-ups, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your dentist is now offering free cookies with every cleaning!’ A regular paused mid-chatter, raising an eyebrow. Was this some kind of new dental marketing gimmick? Soon, the whole waiting room was filled with chattering and laughter as people munched on sugary treats while getting their teeth cleaned. Even a grumpy old neighbor who never smiled arrived late, muttering something about needing his daily cookie fix after such excellent dental care. The next day, the sign outside read simply: 'A Smile Above—Now Serving Cookies'.

2. While waiting for her cleaning appointment, Mrs. Jenkins overheard a strange conversation between two dentists. ‘I just can’t believe it,’ one said, adjusting his glasses. ‘What?’ replied his colleague curiously. ‘This new toothpaste they delivered today—everyone who uses it starts smiling so widely that they can’t stop!’ Mrs. Jenkins couldn’t help but giggle as she left the office later that day. Walking down the street, she noticed an old neighbor trying desperately to button his coat while grinning from ear to ear. ‘Must be that new toothpaste,’ he muttered, completely oblivious to the confused looks around him. She shook her head and smiled, thinking that maybe some smiles really are contagious after all.

3. While waiting for her cleaning appointment, a young mother noticed something peculiar on the ceiling of A Smile Above. ‘Hey,’ she whispered to her child, pointing up, ‘is that a bat or just someone’s forgotten tooth?’ Just then, an older gentleman sitting next to them leaned over and said, ‘It’s not a bat—it’s our new security camera!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the dentist who came out to greet his next patient with a smile. The mother later told her friends it was the most unusual dental office visit ever.

4. While waiting for her cleaning appointment, a young man noticed a curious note taped to the door of A Smile Above: ‘The best toothpaste is the one you smile with.’ He chuckled and wondered if it was a joke or someone’s sincere advice. As he waited, an older gentleman walked in, muttering under his breath, 'I’ve been using this same toothbrush since 1987!' The receptionist smiled and replied, 'That’s dedication!' The young man couldn’t help but laugh, realizing that sometimes our quirks make us unique—even when it comes to brushing teeth.
