About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while waiting for his cleaning appointment, a regular noticed something odd on the ceiling of Phillip C. Carson’s office. ‘Doc,’ he asked curiously, ‘what’s with those tiny little teeth stuck there?’ Philip smiled knowingly. 'Ah,' he said, 'those are my patients' old fillings. I keep them as mementos.' A delivery driver raised an eyebrow. 'Really? And what do you do if someone comes back for a re-do?' Philip laughed heartily. 'I just glue it back on!' The whole room erupted in laughter.

2. In the waiting room one morning, a regular found an old, dusty harmonica nestled among the dental magazines. Who left it here? And why? Soon enough, another patient—a delivery driver—leaned over and whispered, ‘That’s mine!’ Turns out he’d misplaced it in his rush to get here. The whole office erupted into laughter as the harmonica made its way back home. Now, whenever someone new arrives, they ask if anyone found a dusty old harmonica. It became part of their quirky charm.

3. In the waiting room one afternoon, a delivery driver muttered, ‘I’ve never seen so many teeth staring back at me.’ A little old lady sitting next to him whispered, ‘Honey, they’re not staring back at you—you’re just in the wrong room.’ The delivery driver blushed and rushed out, muttering that he’d definitely found the right place now.

4. While sitting in the waiting room, a regular overheard the receptionist whispering to herself, 'Dr. Carson always knows exactly when you’re done flossing.' Curious, an elderly gentleman approached the receptionist later that day and asked if she could confirm her earlier remark. With a sly smile, she replied, ‘Only those who’ve been very, very good!’ The old man left, whistling cheerfully—clearly believing he’d recently earned his dental halo.
