Texas A&M School of Dentistry Urgent Care Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after hours, an anxious delivery driver pulled up outside the clinic. The parking lot was empty except for one small dog, frantically barking and circling around something on the ground. As the driver approached, he saw a small dog with big eyes staring up at him. ‘Please help!’ it seemed to plead. Turns out, the dog had accidentally knocked over a box containing free dental floss samples meant for patients. The driver laughed, picked up the floss, and left a note apologizing for any inconvenience. From then on, everyone called that dog ‘Flossy’.

2. Late one Friday afternoon, a concerned parent rushed into the waiting room, asking worriedly, 'Has anyone else noticed that our kids keep talking about giant teeth marks on their schoolbooks?' The nurse looked puzzled for a moment and then burst out laughing. ‘Oh, you’re not the first ones,’ she said. ‘It seems there’s been an overeager beaver chewing through textbooks downtown. Kids love telling stories!’

3. At dawn, when most Texans were still dreaming of barbecue, a curious cat sauntered into the dental clinic's waiting room. The cat stretched lazily and jumped onto an old magazine rack, knocking over a pile of dental hygiene brochures. A sleepy nurse peeked around the corner and said, 'Good morning, Mr. Curious. Are you here for your routine cleaning?' The cat yawned and walked out, leaving behind a small tuft of fur on one of the chairs. That day, everyone in the clinic had a good laugh—and maybe even learned not to leave their magazines unattended.

4. In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen over Austin, a delivery driver parked his truck near the clinic's loading dock. Curious about what he found in the backseat, he reached for something odd—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Inside was an old toothbrush with a note scribbled on it: 'Please take good care of my teeth!' Turns out, it belonged to a neighbor who left it in the truck after visiting the clinic late last night. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check twice before driving off!’
