About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the dentist’s parking lot—a strange wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it and found an old, rusted key inside. The key turned out to unlock one of those old-fashioned mailboxes that nobody uses anymore. Inside was a note from 'a concerned citizen': ‘Dear Dentists, please check your water supply—we think you might be drinking too much fluoride!’ Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they realized the joke came from their friendly neighborhood plumber.

2. One day, while waiting for an appointment, a regular glanced out the window and saw something odd: a small bird chirping inside one of the dental chairs. Curious, he tiptoed over and opened the door slightly—only to see the little fellow flapping around frantically, trying to escape the unfamiliar surroundings. The dentist, noticing the commotion, calmly walked in and gently coaxed the bird onto his finger before whispering, ‘It’s okay, little guy. Just another day at Arlington Family Dentistry.’

3. One afternoon, as patients were settling into their seats, the dentist’s PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new dental assistant has a rare allergy to smiling.’ The room fell silent for a moment before erupting in laughter. The assistant, clearly flustered but determined, began her shift with a solemn expression on her face. By the end of the day, however, everyone had adjusted—even the most painful procedures seemed bearable when delivered with a straight face.

4. One evening, a young mother waited impatiently outside her child’s dental appointment, watching dusk settle over Arlington. Suddenly, she noticed an odd glow coming from one of the office windows. Curious, she approached the window and peered inside, only to see a dentist frantically trying to fix a light bulb with a pair of pliers. ‘Must be a ghost,’ she thought, smiling. As she turned around, her child waved excitedly from the waiting room, holding a lollipop—clearly not scared at all.
