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 small wooden box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside reading: ‘Open only if you’re not afraid of what might be inside.’ The delivery driver shrugged and untied the string. Inside was a toothpick, a lollipop, and a card that read: 'Happy Sweet Tooth Day from your friendly neighborhood dentist!' Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone needed extra motivation to visit Yonge Wellington Dental, they just said, 'It could be worse—you might get candy!'

2. One day, during a routine cleaning appointment, an elderly patient overheard something unusual coming from the waiting room loudspeaker: ‘Attention please—your toothbrush is ready for pickup!’ Curious, she asked her dentist what it meant. With a twinkle in his eye, he explained that their new automated system had been testing out-of-the-box ideas. The next morning, a confused but amused delivery driver arrived with a box labeled 'Toothbrushes' and delivered it to a nearby neighbor who was expecting groceries.

3. In the waiting room one afternoon, a curious little dog wandered in through the open door. No one seemed to notice him until he started barking at the ceiling lights. Everyone turned around, and for a moment there was complete silence. Then the receptionist said, 'Oh, hello Fluffy! You're not supposed to be here.' The little dog yawned and wagged his tail before padding back out the way he came, as if nothing had happened. Everyone went back to their magazines, and no one mentioned it again.

4. While getting her teeth cleaned one afternoon, a regular whispered to the dentist, ‘I just saw your car driving itself out of the parking lot!’ The dentist calmly replied, ‘That’s my self-driving prototype!’ A few minutes later, another voice called from behind, ‘Hey doc, could you please tell your car to stop honking—it keeps scaring our dog.’
