About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Barnes Dental Care, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s dental floss is extra slippery.’ Employees shrug it off, but patients can’t help but wonder if their next cleaning might involve some unexpected twists and turns. One day, a delivery driver walked in complaining of a sore throat. The dentist looked puzzled, then said, 'Sir, your tongue looks like it's been flossing with the entire stock!' Everyone burst out laughing—even the usually stoic receptionist giggled when she saw his face.

2. At Barnes Dental Care, every afternoon around three o’clock, a small bird would suddenly appear in the waiting room window, causing all the children to scream and point excitedly. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in for his check-up, completely oblivious to the commotion outside. When asked why he hadn’t noticed the bird, he replied calmly, 'I came here specifically because I heard they don’t use any noisy instruments!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually stoic dentist.

3. At Barnes Dental Care, every day after closing, a mysterious package arrives anonymously in the mailroom. Inside is always something strange—a tiny toothbrush made of twigs, a jar filled with oddly shaped marbles, or even a note scribbled in childish handwriting that reads ‘Brush twice daily!’ One evening, a delivery driver left a box containing nothing but an old toothpaste tube labeled ‘Super Fresh Mint.’ The next day, everyone in the waiting room was chewing on mint leaves they found growing outside. It turned out to be a practical joke from a neighbor who wanted better dental hygiene for everyone.

4. At Barnes Dental Care, one morning a regular noticed something odd on the reception desk: a tiny pair of spectacles left behind by someone who’d forgotten them. Curious, he picked them up and put them on—suddenly everyone in the waiting room started whispering, ‘Is that Dr. Barnes?’ Confused but amused, our regular pretended to be the absent-minded dentist until his own glasses were returned. From then on, whenever anyone forgot their specs at Barnes Dental Care, they joked it was because Dr. Barnes had borrowed them again.’
