About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At sunrise one morning, when most dentists were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Downtown Dental Associates with an unusual package. The box was wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine, but its weight suggested something much heavier than usual. As he opened it, a small note fell out: 'Dear Dr. Showman, please fix my teeth—I'm tired of smiling so hard!' Inside was a perfectly aligned set of dentures, addressed to none other than the delivery driver himself. Turns out, someone had switched packages—and now everyone in town knew that BJ Showman wasn't just a great dentist, but also a sucker for a good practical joke.

2. One day after hours, a delivery driver left a box of mysterious packages near the loading dock. The next morning, a curious receptionist opened it and found inside a strange contraption—half dental tool, half musical instrument. Word spread quickly among patients, who began asking if they could try playing it during their check-ups. Word soon reached Dr. Showman that his patients were now requesting ‘dental tunes’ as part of their routine cleanings. Amused but intrigued, he decided to incorporate music into some procedures, creating a unique experience for everyone who visited Downtown Dental Associates. To this day, many locals still joke that the best way to calm down before a visit is to listen to an old recording of Mr. Johnson humming along with his fillings.

3. Late one night, as Dr. Showman's office hummed with equipment whirs and soft music, a strange clicking sound echoed from the parking lot. Curious neighbors peered through their windows, wondering if it was just an overactive air conditioner or something more unusual. Finally, after much speculation, a delivery driver approached the door, muttering under his breath that he’d heard similar noises in every dental office he’d ever visited. Turns out, it was just good old Dr. Showman playing solitaire on his laptop while waiting for patients—again.

4. Late one night, as Dr. Showman’s office buzzed softly, a delivery driver parked his truck outside. The next morning, a curious note lay on the reception desk: ‘Dear Dentist, please find your new assistant—she arrives daily at midnight.’ Over time, the nightly visitor became an integral part of the team, offering her unique brand of midnight humor and efficiency. Even though no one ever saw her during daylight hours, everyone knew she was there—cleaning, organizing, and occasionally whispering dental wisdom in patients’ ears. To this day, Downtown Dental Associates remains open twenty-four seven, thanks to their secret night-shift assistant.
