About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the waiting room of Edgbaston Dental Centre, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Amongst the usual magazines and pamphlets lay an old, dusty envelope addressed to ‘The Dentist Who Never Was’. Curiosity piqued him enough to pick it up. He opened it cautiously, expecting maybe some lost-and-found note or advertisement. Instead, there was just a single sheet of paper with a smiley face drawn on it and the words: 'Thanks for the new teeth! See you soon!' signed simply 'Your Happy Patient'. Everyone in the waiting room burst out laughing, realizing that someone must be pulling a prank—perhaps a delivery driver, a neighbor, or even another patient who’d had a particularly good experience.

2. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver pulled up to the Edgbaston Dental Centre with an unusual package. As he approached the reception desk, the staff exchanged curious glances—was it really what they thought it was? Upon opening the box, everyone gasped—it contained nothing but a giant tooth-shaped cake decorated with brightly colored icing and sprinkles. Turns out, a neighbor had ordered it for the dentist’s birthday party later that day. The whole office burst into laughter, realizing how easily they’d been fooled by such a sweet prank.

3. In the waiting room of Edgbaston Dental Centre, a little girl pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! Is that a bat?’ The mother peered up and giggled softly, ‘No sweetie, it’s just an old light fixture.’ But as she spoke, another voice chimed in from behind them, ‘Actually, I could swear I saw something flittering around here last week!’ A gruff delivery driver chuckled from his magazine, ‘Probably just bats playing dental hygiene games.’ Everyone laughed, even the little girl, who settled back into her seat with a smile, content knowing that sometimes, even in a dentist’s office, mystery remains.

4. While sitting in the waiting room of Edgbaston Dental Centre, an elderly gentleman cleared his throat and whispered, 'I just saw someone brush their teeth with a vacuum cleaner!' Another patient, clearly puzzled, asked if that was even possible. The old man grinned and replied, ‘Trust me, I’ve seen some strange things here—like a delivery driver who insisted on flossing with dental floss from every country he’d visited.’ Everyone burst into laughter, warming up the usually quiet waiting area.
