About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as Dr. Praus was adjusting his glasses in front of an old mirror, a small dog entered the waiting room and began sniffing curiously around the reception desk. The veterinarian across the street had closed early for some reason, leaving no other animal clinic within walking distance. Just then, an elderly lady came in for her routine checkup. She looked up from her magazine and smiled warmly at the little intruder. 'Oh, hello there,' she said gently. 'I guess today is your lucky day—Dr. Praus never misses a dental appointment!' And with that, the dog trotted off to join the queue, tail wagging.
2. One day, while Dr. Praus was checking his instruments, a voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your dental drill has just won first prize in the annual tool beauty contest!’ Dr. Praus looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. He adjusted his glasses and replied into the intercom: 'Thank you, but I believe our drill is still working on cavity number three.' A delivery driver outside heard the commotion and asked a neighbor, 'What’s going on there?' The neighbor shrugged and said, 'Just another day at Praus Dentistry—where even tools know how to party!'
3. While Dr. Praus was cleaning his tools one afternoon, someone asked curiously, ‘Do you ever see ghost teeth around here?’ Dr. Praus looked up with a twinkle in his eye and replied, 'Oh yes, I often find them dancing on my shelves!' A delivery driver chimed in, 'I saw one playing poker with my package last week.' They all laughed heartily until a little girl whispered, 'Can I keep it?' Everyone burst out laughing again—clearly, Praus Dentistry had more than just patients.
4. In Praus Dentistry’s waiting room, a regular patient looked around and said aloud, 'I wonder if Dr. Praus ever gets tired of smiling?' Just then, an anxious delivery driver approached the reception desk. ‘Excuse me,’ he stammered, ‘is it normal for teeth to talk in here?’ A nurse smiled sweetly and replied, ‘Only when Dr. Praus is on break.’
