About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling into their seats, an announcement crackled over Merion Village Dental’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today our dental hygienist has brought her new puppy for company.’ The room fell silent for a moment before erupting in laughter. The little pup wagged its tail excitedly, licking anyone within reach. Soon enough, everyone was laughing and cooing at the adorable intruder. Even the usually stern dentist couldn’t help but smile, and the appointment turned out to be one of those rare moments where everyone left with a brighter smile—not just from clean teeth, but from pure joy.

2. While waiting for her cleaning appointment, a patient noticed something odd on the ceiling of Merion Village Dental. ‘Hey,’ she whispered, pointing up, ‘is that a bat or just a really big moth?’ Another patient, overhearing the whisper, leaned in curiously and said, 'I think it's a small pterodactyl trying to escape from Jurassic Park!' Just then, the dentist walked in with a mischievous smile, explaining, 'No, everyone, it’s just our new decor—an LED bat hanging from the ceiling.' Everyone laughed, relieved, and settled down for their appointments.

3. While getting a routine check-up, a patient heard a strange voice coming from the dental chair next door. ‘Next time you come,’ it said softly, ‘bring your own toothbrush.’ Curious, our patient asked the receptionist if anyone else had reported such an incident. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Oh yes, that happens every now and then. We just tell them to bring their favorite toothpaste next time.’

4. While getting a routine check-up, a regular started noticing that the dental assistant kept humming the same tune between patients. Finally curious, our regular asked what song she was singing. Turned out it was an old nursery rhyme her grandma used to sing when she was a kid. The whole office joined in, and soon enough, every visit became a mini-concert. Now, whenever someone mentions Merion Village Dental, people smile—not just because of their teeth, but also because of those unexpected harmonies.
