About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet town of Dentonville, something peculiar began happening outside Dr. John J. Kelly’s dental practice one morning. A little boy walking past the office stopped in his tracks when he saw an unusual sight—a squirrel sitting on the window sill, calmly watching as patients came and went. Soon enough, other animals joined the spectacle—birds chirping from nearby trees, a cat dozing on the roof, even a rabbit nibbling on grass just outside the door. Before long, every patient entering or leaving the office had to pause for a momentary smile, distracted by the menagerie of wildlife keeping watch over them. Eventually, word spread, and people from miles around would stop by just to catch a glimpse of the quirky animal audience at John J. Kelly DDS.

2. At dawn, when most dentists were still dreaming of fillings and crowns, a delivery driver pulled up to John J. Kelly DDS with an unusual package. The label read simply: ‘For the best smile in town.’ The box contained nothing but a single toothbrush with a note: 'Use twice daily.' As the sun rose, everyone in town was smiling wider than ever before—even John J. Kelly himself couldn't help but crack a grin.

3. At night, after closing hours, an anonymous note appeared on Dr. Kelly’s door: ‘Next patient gets a free cleaning—if you dare!’ Soon enough, curious locals started showing up late at night. A delivery driver, pretending to be the next patient, received his complimentary cleaning and left with a big smile. Even a grumpy old neighbor dropped by, hoping for some dental magic, and walked out whistling. By morning, Dr. Kelly found himself with a full waiting list of people eager to test their luck—and a new sign in the window: ‘Free Cleanings Every Night… If You Dare!’

4. Who would’ve thought that a simple dental practice could attract such strange visitors? One morning, as Dr. Kelly was adjusting his glasses over his spectacle case, a delivery driver parked his truck suspiciously close to the clinic's entrance. The delivery driver glanced around nervously and whispered something into his walkie-talkie before darting towards the back door. Startled, Dr. Kelly called out, ‘Hey! What are you doing?’ The man quickly scribbled something on a piece of paper and ran off, leaving behind only a crumpled note reading: “Next time bring your own chair!”
