About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Smiles by Dentistry, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ says Dr. Smith, ‘if you happen to see a small green parrot wandering around our waiting room, please do not be alarmed—it’s just our new receptionist’s pet.’ One day, an elderly gentleman walked in complaining of tooth pain. After his treatment, he asked curiously, 'Doctor, why did that parrot keep whispering “floss more” during my procedure?' Dr. Smith smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's just our parrot's way of motivating patients!'

2. At Smiles by Dentistry, each afternoon around 3 PM, a mysterious voice starts whispering through the intercom: ‘Please return your smile to its original position.’ Everyone looks around, but no one ever sees anyone moving. One day, an anxious delivery driver hears the message and panics, thinking his smile is crooked. After checking in the mirror three times, he calms down—only to realize it was his reflection causing him distress. From then on, everyone jokes that Smiles by Dentistry has a sense of humor.

3. At Smiles by Dentistry, every night after closing, someone leaves a note on the reception desk. It always reads: ‘Your next patient is… yourself!’ One evening, a delivery driver left a note that said, ‘You’re next when FedEx comes calling!’ The staff laughed it off until they saw him two hours later with another package—and another note. Eventually, everyone started waiting for those mysterious messages with amusement.’

4. At Smiles by Dentistry, during the early morning hours when most towns are asleep, a peculiar sound can be heard coming from inside. A soft humming, almost like a lullaby, seems to emanate from the dental chairs themselves. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside and heard the humming too. Curious, he knocked on the door, only to find it unlocked. Inside, he saw rows of smiling teeth bobbing gently in their trays, each one softly singing along to an old folk tune. The receptionist, a friendly older lady, explained that it was just their ‘nightly serenade’—to relax patients before dawn appointments. The driver left with a smile, thinking, maybe dentists do know best after all.
