About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Cary Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery with a box full of dental supplies. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the office lights were on, but no cars were parked in the lot. Curious, he knocked gently on the door. No answer. He peered inside and saw only an old calendar stuck to the wall—January 2020. Turns out, it was someone’s time machine, or maybe just a really foggy January morning. A delivery driver shrugged, took his package, and went home for breakfast.
2. A neighborhood kid shouted one day: ‘Hey, look everyone! The dentist’s office is growing teeth!’ Everyone stopped and stared, but the only thing moving was an old fan above the reception desk. A delivery driver laughed nervously and said, 'Maybe it’s just air conditioning.' And that became the new joke around town—every time someone saw a toothbrush or floss, they’d whisper, ‘Look, it’s growing teeth again!’
3. One rainy afternoon, an anxious patient checked her phone during a wait. Suddenly, over the intercom came a voice: 'Attention, patients and staff—your smile today may be different from your smile tomorrow.' Confused, she looked around and saw everyone staring into mirrors, frozen mid-grin. Then, through the door walked a delivery driver with a box marked ‘Temporary Teeth.’ The whole place erupted in laughter as it turned out they were just getting new signage installed.
4. One night, while a regular was waiting for their appointment, they heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our dental hygienist has discovered a new species of microorganism in our water supply. Please do not panic, but also consider bringing your own toothbrush.’ Soon after, another voice came on: 'And just to clarify—this is NOT a hoax!' A delivery driver joked, 'Guess I better bring my own fork too.' The next day, everyone brought their toothbrushes, and the hygienist found nothing more than some ordinary bacteria. Moral of the story? Always trust your local dentist—and maybe carry a spare toothbrush!'
