St Paul's Dental Practice

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their appointments, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the dental practice’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your teeth are talking!’ The sound system buzzed to life with a chorus of chattering molars and clicking incisors. Everyone froze mid-bite or mid-grunt. Then, amidst the din, a deep, gravelly tooth said, 'Excuse me, but could you pass that mirror? I seem to be stuck.' A delivery driver cleared his throat and announced, 'And I thought my job was noisy!' The whole room burst into laughter, and the strange noise cut off abruptly. Since then, St Paul’s has become known for its friendly atmosphere—and occasional dental commentary.

2. At dawn, when most dentists are just brewing coffee, St Paul’s Dental Practice received an unusual visitor—a squirrel with a peculiar habit. Every morning, it would scurry into the waiting room and sit on the receptionist’s desk, staring intently at the old calendar. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of nuts. Thinking the squirrel was famished, he opened the door wider, but the little critter merely glanced up once before returning to its routine pose. Finally, a kindly neighbor brought in a bowl of walnuts, which the squirrel ignored completely—until the end of the week, when it finally noticed the treats and skipped away, leaving everyone to wonder if it had been playing them all along.

3. A little girl, clutching her teddy bear, entered the waiting room with wide eyes. As she approached the reception desk, she whispered, ‘Mum, why does everyone here look so… sharp?’ The receptionist smiled gently and replied, ‘Honey, they’re dentists—people who help keep your teeth healthy.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a curious expression. ‘So, Mum,’ she asked softly, ‘do they use magic wands too?’ Everyone in the room burst into laughter, including the dentist, who emerged from behind his curtain, grinning broadly.

4. One day, while a patient was nervously checking their reflection in the mirror, they asked aloud: ‘Is it just me, or does that dental chair look like it’s winking?’ The dentist paused for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered conspiratorially, 'Actually, yes—it is!' The whole room burst into laughter as everyone realized the old chair had been smiling at them all along.
