About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the Westside Family Dentistry parking lot. Among the usual boxes and bags, there lay an old, dusty suitcase. Curious, he picked it up—and inside found a strange collection of teeth. Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver took the suitcase to his supervisor, who decided to show it to the dentist. After examining the teeth, the doctor smiled and said, 'Ah, these are just old dental models for teaching.' The story became a neighborhood joke—every time someone saw a new employee, they’d ask if they were the ‘suitcase guy.’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Westside Family Dentistry with a box of dental supplies. As he unloaded the truck, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a dentist in his white coat, dancing around to some oldies on the radio. Turns out, it was just another late-night jam session. The delivery guy left smiling, thinking maybe dentists aren’t so serious after all.
3. One afternoon, a little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly at the Westside Family Dentistry sign and asked, ‘Mama, why does that building look like it’s smiling?’ Her mother smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, it’s just the way the sun hits those windows.’ But as they drove away, she turned to their neighbor and said jokingly, ‘I hope no one ever tells her the truth—that it looks like that because of all the happy teeth coming out!’
4. One day, an anxious patient whispered to their friend in the waiting room: ‘I heard that every time someone mentions shark teeth here, the dentist starts talking about sharks.’ Another person overheard and leaned closer, whispering back, ‘And if you mention shark teeth twice, they bring out a poster of great whites swimming through your mouth!’ Soon enough, everyone was giggling nervously, until finally, a delivery driver asked aloud, “Hey doc, do you really have a shark tank in the back?” The dentist smiled broadly, replying, “No sir, but I do have some awesome before-and-after photos!”
