About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the Newingham Dental Center’s loading dock—a box wrapped in brown paper with no return address. Curious, he opened it and found an old, dusty dental chair inside. Confused, he called his supervisor who instructed him to put everything back exactly as it was. Later that day, when a regular patient arrived for their cleaning, they commented on how cozy the waiting room felt today. Turned out, the mysterious dental chair had been placed there by mistake, making patients feel more at home—even if it did make some of them giggle.

2. A curious neighbor asked one day: ‘Why does that dental center always seem so… quiet?’ ‘Oh,’ said another neighbor with a knowing smile. ‘I deliver groceries there sometimes. They’re not quiet—they just talk in hushed tones because they’re plotting world domination!’ The whole neighborhood laughed, realizing it was probably just the dentist discussing his latest patient’s smile.

3. Have you ever wondered why patients leaving the Newingham Dental Center often walk out with a strange smile? Some locals say it’s because the receptionist has a secret stash of candy hidden behind the counter. One day, an old neighbor came in for a checkup and walked out humming. When asked what happened, he said, ‘They gave me a mint!’ Turns out, the receptionist had started handing out fresh mints instead of candies—making everyone leave with a happy little smile.’

4. One afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother, ‘Mommy, look! The people coming out of that dental center are waving!’ The mother smiled and said, ‘Honey, they’re just saying goodbye to their friends inside.’ Later that evening, when the family was having dinner, the little girl giggled and asked, ‘So Mommy, do you think those dentists know everyone in our neighborhood?’ Everyone laughed as they realized it was indeed quite an unusual sight.
