About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, as patients were settling in for their appointments, an unusual announcement came over the dental office intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new cleaning solution has been known to cause temporary tooth whitening effects on clothing.’ Soon enough, a regular patient walked in complaining his white shirt was turning shades of blue. The receptionist calmly explained it would wash out after a few days. A delivery driver arrived next, muttering he’d never wear khaki pants again. By closing time, half the neighborhood had stopped by to check if their clothes were safe—all thanks to Stuparich & Nouel’s latest innovation.

2. One morning, while a regular patient was waiting for her turn, she noticed something odd on the ceiling above the reception desk. ‘Is that a bat?’ she asked, pointing upward with a smile. The dentist looked up and grinned, "No, it's just our new ceiling mural!" Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who had just arrived with a box of donuts for the staff. The patient whispered to her friend, 'I guess bats are out, but dental art is in!'

3. In the middle of a routine check-up, a little girl sitting next to her mom suddenly pointed and whispered, ‘Mommy, why is that toothbrush dancing?’ The dentist, Dr. Stuparich, looked over and saw an old toothbrush on the counter, its bristles wiggling slightly from the air conditioning. He smiled and explained gently, 'That's just Mr. Clean's toothbrush, he gets excited when he sees new patients.' The mother giggled, relieved, while the little girl nodded wisely, whispering back, 'Oh, now I get it!'

4. In the early morning, as a delivery driver approached the dental office with boxes of supplies, he heard a faint voice whispering from inside one of them: ‘Please don’t forget to floss tonight.’ Curious, the driver opened the box carefully and found only neatly wrapped dental tools. Smiling, he thought maybe it was just an old joke between dentists. Later that night, while brushing his teeth, he remembered the whisper and decided to floss—just in case.
