About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, every Wednesday around lunchtime, an old man would show up at Central Ohio Dental with a large brown paper bag. He’d greet everyone cheerfully and then disappear into one of the back rooms for several hours. No one knew who he was or why he came, but soon enough, strange things started happening—teeth seemed to vanish from patients’ mouths just before their appointments. Finally, someone asked him what he did with all those teeth. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, ‘Oh, I deliver them to a local farm for fertilizer!’ From that day on, whenever anyone saw him walking down the street carrying a big brown bag, they’d smile and wave, knowing he was just delivering nature’s gift.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Central Ohio Dental, he noticed something odd on the door: ‘Please park your car facing east.’ Curious, he parked accordingly and entered. Inside, everyone had their heads tilted slightly to the left, listening intently to someone whispering in the back room. As he approached the backroom, he heard an old man softly saying, 'Left is right, top is bottom!' Turns out, it was just an eccentric dentist teaching his staff a daily lesson in perspective. The delivery driver walked away with a smile, thinking, 'Maybe I should try that trick on my GPS sometime.'

3. One day last summer, a little girl visiting her grandmother pointed and asked, ‘Grandma, why does that toothbrush look so angry?’ Everyone in the waiting room froze for a moment before breaking into laughter. An older gentleman sitting nearby leaned over and whispered, ‘It’s not the toothbrush, sonny—it’s just Dr. Smith’s way of keeping things interesting!’ The whole room erupted in giggles again, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere as everyone relaxed until their turn came.

4. Last week, while waiting for my cleaning appointment, I overheard two dentists discussing something unusual. ‘Did you hear?’ one said to another, pointing towards the parking lot. ‘A squirrel has been using our reception area as its personal acorn storage facility!’ Another day, another surprise visitor—this time a delivery driver swears he saw a raccoon trying to open our filing cabinets with a paperclip! And just yesterday, a regular thought he spotted a possum sleeping in one of our dental chairs. Central Ohio Dental: where your teeth meet wildlife adventures!
