About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Grandma, look! That toothbrush is dancing!’ Everyone in the waiting room turned to see the strange sight of a row of toothbrushes seemingly moving on their own. A delivery driver leaned over curiously and asked if they needed help with something mechanical. The receptionist just smiled and said, 'No, sir, they're just happy because Dr. Chavez told them today’s their big day!' Turns out, every morning those toothbrushes were celebrating another successful day without cavities.
2. While waiting for his appointment, a regular patient noticed something odd on the ceiling of Chula Vista Smiles. 'Hey,' he said aloud, pointing up, 'is that a smiley face or am I going crazy?' A delivery driver overheard him and looked up too. ‘Yup,’ she grinned, ‘it’s a new mural they’re painting.’ They both laughed, realizing it was just another day at Chula Vista Smiles—where even the decorations had a sense of humor.
3. While sitting in the waiting room, an impatient child looked up and asked their parent, 'Mom, why does every tooth here have its own little hat?' The parent smiled and whispered, ‘They’re not hats, sweetie—those are crowns.’ The child nodded thoughtfully before turning back to look at a poster of smiling animals on the wall, saying, ‘Oh, so these are just fancy party teeth?’
4. While browsing through old magazines in the reception area, a delivery driver paused mid-sentence when he stumbled upon a vintage advertisement for Chula Vista Smiles that seemed suspiciously familiar. Curious, he showed it to his co-workers later that day. Turns out, one of them had visited Chula Vista Smiles just last week as ‘a regular.’ The coincidence made everyone laugh—especially since none of them could remember ever seeing such an old ad before.
