About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Portland when a delivery driver pulled up to Linquist Family Dentistry. The sun was just peeking over the rooftops, casting an eerie glow on the usually bustling street. As he approached the door, he heard a soft voice from inside: ‘Please don’t bite the hand that delivers your teeth!’ Turned out, it was just a neighbor dropping off some old fillings for recycling. The day ended with everyone smiling—even if not everyone had their real teeth.

2. In the small town of Maplewood, there’s a quirky dental practice called Linquist Family Dentistry. One day, while waiting for their appointment, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you guys ever get teeth that talk back?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, it happens quite often!’ Just then, an old toothbrush on the counter started singing “Happy Birthday.” Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor delivery driver who’d just arrived with a new set of instruments.’

3. A curious neighborhood cat had taken it upon itself to supervise every patient's arrival at Linquist Family Dentistry. Each morning, just as the first patients were being called, the little feline would appear from behind the bushes and sit with perfect poise outside the waiting room door. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an unusually large package. The cat, intrigued, approached cautiously but then leaped back when the box started meowing in a high-pitched voice. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just a recording of a kitten for some marketing stunt. Since then, whenever something unusual happens, people joke that ‘the cat must be watching again.’

4. In the sleepy town of Sunnydale, something peculiar began happening outside Linquist Family Dentistry one foggy morning. As patients arrived for their appointments, they noticed a soft humming sound, like someone whistling tunelessly but with perfect pitch. Curious neighbors started gathering around, trying to figure out where the strange melody was coming from. A delivery driver even stopped his truck to join in, humming along as he loaded supplies into the office. Eventually, it turned out that an old radio left on overnight had tuned itself to a classical station, creating the eerie yet charming serenade everyone was enjoying.
