About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Charleston Dental Associates one morning and noticed something odd on the passenger seat of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside reading: ‘Open only if you’re not afraid of what might be inside.’ The delivery driver shrugged and opened the box with a smile, revealing a tiny ceramic teacup filled with mints. He laughed aloud, thinking it was some prank from a colleague or a neighbor. That afternoon, as he delivered packages around town, several other drivers received similar boxes—each containing a quirky little gift.
2. A young boy visiting his grandmother pointed excitedly one afternoon, exclaiming, ‘Grandma, look! The teeth are talking!’ Everyone in the waiting room froze for a moment, but it turned out only the receptionist’s new computerized sign had started displaying strange messages like ‘Brush twice daily’ and ‘Visit us today.’ Soon after, an elderly gentleman walked in, scratching his head. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked the receptionist, ‘do you know why my toothbrush keeps telling me to “Pay your bills”?’ Everyone burst into laughter as the receptionist shrugged, muttering something about a software update.
3. While waiting for her appointment, an elderly lady overheard two dentists discussing their latest purchase: a vintage gumball machine they’d placed in the reception area. ‘I wonder if it’ll attract more patients,’ one said with a smile. Just then, a little girl piped up from behind them, ‘Mommy, why do those nice men keep saying “twisty, twisty”?’ One of the dentists chuckled and replied, ‘They’re not saying “twisty,” sweetie—we’re just checking your teeth for cavities!’ The little girl looked confused but nodded, satisfied with his explanation. As she walked away, another patient—a grumpy-looking delivery driver—muttered under his breath, “Twisty, my ass…”
4. One morning, while driving past Charleston Dental Associates, a delivery driver slowed down in surprise. From inside the building came a sound like someone whistling a happy tune—only it wasn’t music at all. Curious, he stopped his truck and peered through the window. Inside, an old dentist was gently polishing a patient’s teeth, humming contentedly to himself. The delivery driver laughed out loud, realizing with a smile that what he’d heard was just good-old-fashioned dental drill music.
