Dr. J.L. Flores, D.D.S.

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Old Town, someone asked aloud one morning: ‘Why does Dr. Flores’ dental office always smell like cookies?’ A delivery driver overheard a regular saying, 'Maybe he bakes them himself!' Soon after, an elderly neighbor chimed in, 'Or maybe his assistants take secret cookie breaks.' They all laughed, realizing that sometimes life's best mysteries stay just that—mysteries.

2. At Dr. J.L. Flores’ dental office, a sign above the reception desk read: ‘Please remove your hat before entering the elevator.’ No one knew why until one afternoon when an embarrassed delivery driver emerged from the lift wearing nothing but a huge grin and a freshly polished smile. It turned out that every Monday morning, Dr. Flores had his staff polish everyone’s teeth who entered through the elevator—regardless of whether they needed actual dental work or not. The embarrassed smiles became a weekly tradition, and soon enough, even the most gruff neighbors started showing up with hats in hand.

3. In the middle of a routine cleaning session, a patient exclaimed, 'I feel like I'm being slowly polished!' The dentist smiled and replied, ‘That’s because I’m using my special polishing technique!’ The patient relaxed, thinking it was just another quirky thing about Dr. Flores. Later that day, while driving home, the patient realized they could still taste mint—and it wasn’t from any gum.

4. In the middle of a routine check-up, an anxious patient whispered, 'Doctor, I think my tooth is talking back.' The doctor paused for a moment, then calmly replied, ‘Well, let's see what it has to say.’ He took out his stethoscope and listened intently. After a few seconds, he smiled and told the patient, ‘It seems your tooth is trying to tell you that it's hungry for sugar!’
