About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Pearl Dental, every Wednesday afternoon around three o’clock, an old man in a tweed suit would quietly slip into Room 307. No one knew who he was or why he came, but soon after his arrival, the waiting room’s thermostat would inexplicably rise ten degrees. One day, a new receptionist named Emma noticed him and dared to ask if she could help. The old man smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Just checking my wisdom teeth, dear.' As he left, the thermostat dropped back to normal, and everyone laughed. Since then, Emma always made sure to bring him a cup of tea on Wednesdays.

2. At Pearl Dental, whenever a new patient arrived with a pet dog in tow, the receptionist would whisper to her colleagues: ‘Isn’t that the same pooch who visited last month?’ One day, an old neighbor came for his checkup and brought along his parrot, who kept squawking, ‘Fix my teeth or I’ll tell everyone you’re overcharging!’ The staff just smiled and nodded knowingly.

3. At Pearl Dental, every morning before opening hours, a soft tinkling sound could be heard coming from the back room. Curious staff members would peek inside only to find no one there, just an empty chair and a small pile of glittering coins. One day, an enthusiastic new employee decided to stay late and investigate. She followed the sound until it led her to a hidden door behind the dental chair. Inside was a tiny old man in a lab coat, busily sorting coins into jars. ‘I’m Dr. Glittertooth,’ he said, ‘and I’ve been paying off your debts for years!’ Turns out, everyone in town owed him favors.

4. At Pearl Dental, during lunchtime each Friday, a mysterious package arrives anonymously. It always contains a fresh bouquet of flowers and a note reading ‘Keep smiling!’ One week, the note read: 'Your next appointment is with Mr. Chompy Teeth!' Turns out it was just a prank from a regular who enjoyed seeing everyone greet their appointments with a smile.
