Dental Nook at Red Rock Canyon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At precisely 3 PM every Wednesday, an old man in a tweed suit would push a shopping cart filled with strange instruments into Dental Nook at Red Rock Canyon. The receptionist would nod politely, but no one dared ask what he was doing there. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. He whispered to the dentist, ‘It’s for your Wednesday visitor.’ As the old man left, he turned and said, ‘Don’t worry, I just needed some new tweezers!’ Everyone laughed, even though they still didn’t know why.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Dr. Smith’s office: a small wooden bench with a sign reading ‘Wait Here for Your Teeth.’ Curious, he approached and heard whispers coming from behind the bench—just some old lady gossiping about her bridge work. Turns out it was just a quirky waiting area for patients, hidden from view until dawn.

3. At sunset each Thursday, a local artist arrived with her easel and began painting the dental office's neon sign. One night, a delivery driver mistook the neon sign for a glowing star and parked his truck right in front of it. The next morning, everyone found him fast asleep behind the wheel, surrounded by boxes of donuts he thought were free samples.

4. At midnight, when most dentists are dreaming of sedation-free nights, a strange sound echoed through the Dental Nook at Red Rock Canyon. A soft, rhythmic tapping came from behind the reception desk, as if someone were gently knocking teeth together. Curious, one of the dentists approached the desk and found only an envelope with a note inside: ‘Just checking your fillings for quality control.’ Turned out it was just a late-night prank by a delivery driver who’d been teasing everyone in town.
