About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl waiting for her turn in Pollary Family Dentistry’s lobby noticed something odd: every time the dentist’s assistant counted teeth, the receptionist’s computer screen would briefly show a tiny smiley face. No one else seemed to notice it. Soon enough, the little girl mentioned it to her mom, who happened to be a delivery driver. Her mom started noticing the smiley faces too and soon everyone in their neighborhood was checking the screens whenever someone went in for a checkup. One day, an embarrassed receptionist confessed that she’d programmed it as a small joke—just to make patients feel more comfortable during those sometimes nerve-wracking visits. The smiley faces became part of Pollary Family Dentistry’s quirky charm, making kids less scared and adults feel like they were visiting a friendly family home.
2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling past Pollary Family Dentistry one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The sign outside seemed to be winking at him as he rode by. Curious, the boy slowed down and peered closer—sure enough, the letters on the sign were gently moving like little eyes. Smiling mischievously, he rode back home and told his friends. For weeks after that, whenever someone mentioned Pollary Family Dentistry, they’d wink knowingly, whispering, ‘They’re watching you!’
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Pollary Family Dentistry one day and noticed something odd on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label. Curious, he opened it to find a strange contraption inside: a tiny metal device shaped like a smile. Intrigued but cautious, he placed it carefully back into the box and drove off. Later that evening, while adjusting his rearview mirror, he noticed a faint reflection—his own teeth seemed brighter than ever before. Word spread quickly among the neighbors, who began dropping by Pollary Family Dentistry for their ‘smile devices.’ It turned out to be just a clever marketing gimmick, leaving everyone with a newfound appreciation for good dental hygiene—and a funny story to tell.
4. A young boy was riding his bike down the street one sunny afternoon when he passed Pollary Family Dentistry. Suddenly, he stopped mid-street, staring wide-eyed at the sign above the entrance. 'Mama!' he called out, pointing. 'What does it mean, “Family Dentistry” if they only treat humans?' A middle-aged woman walking by overheard the boy and smiled. ‘Oh honey,’ she said gently, ‘it means that even though they specialize in human teeth, they also care for our furry friends too.’ The boy’s eyes lit up as he turned around, relieved—and promptly rode off into a nearby bush, startled by a passing delivery driver.
