About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little girl named Emma visited her grandpa’s Dental Surgery for her first check-up. As she sat in the waiting room, an old parrot on display suddenly started squawking, ‘Toothpaste! Toothbrush! Clean teeth!’ Everyone laughed, but Emma just stared wide-eyed and asked her grandpa if that bird could really predict cavities. Grandpa smiled and whispered, ‘Emma, that’s just Parrot Pete—our resident entertainer.’ But as he led her back, Pete chirped again: ‘Flossing! Flossing now!’ The whole office burst into laughter, including a nearby delivery driver who exclaimed, “Now THAT’S a review I’d believe!”

2. A curious pug named Biscuit followed its owner into the waiting room of Dental Surgery one afternoon. To everyone's surprise, every time someone mentioned their teeth, the little dog would start barking and point towards the ceiling. Finally, an old man whispered that his dentures were loose. Biscuit bounded over, barked excitedly, and pointed up towards a dusty shelf where an assortment of old keys hung. The vet looked puzzled but fetched down the keys, which turned out to be perfect for holding the man's false teeth in place. Since then, whenever anyone mentions dental issues at Dental Surgery, Biscuit still makes his presence known—though now he’s celebrated as the canine dentist’s assistant.

3. While waiting for her appointment, a regular patient noticed something unusual on the ceiling above the reception desk. ‘Hey,’ she called out, pointing up, ‘is that a bat or just an especially hairy dental tool?’ A delivery driver overheard the conversation and leaned in curiously. 'Actually,' he laughed, 'it's not even a bat—it’s just our new decorator's idea of dental themed art!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another day at Dental Surgery.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the dental surgery and noticed an oddly familiar box in the backseat. Curious, he took it inside. The receptionist raised an eyebrow when she saw him wheeling what looked like a miniature dentist's chair towards the back. As he sat down, the little chair whirred to life, its tiny drill buzzed menacingly. Startled, the delivery driver exclaimed, ‘What the—?’ A small voice from behind replied, ‘Just relax, sir. It’s only a routine cleaning.’ Turns out, someone had left their toy dentist’s office in the car.
