Mulford Dental Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular was waiting for his routine check-up, an odd announcement came over Mulford Dental Care’s intercom: ‘Attention, please be advised that today’s fluoride treatment is extra effective due to a special batch from Mars.’ A delivery driver looked puzzled and asked, 'Mars? Is that why my package weighs so much?' The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Just ignore it, Mr. Smith.' Later, when a neighbor popped in for wisdom teeth removal, she quipped, 'At least they won’t grow back on Mars!' And everyone had a good laugh—until the next day's fluoride treatment turned out to be just fine, Earth-made.

2. One day, while a delivery driver was dropping off supplies, he noticed something peculiar on the office door: ‘Please knock three times before entering.’ Curious, he obeyed—and inside found everyone in scrubs bowing their heads in silent concentration. The delivery driver knocked three times and cautiously opened the door. Everyone froze mid-bow, then broke into embarrassed smiles. Turns out they were practicing for an upcoming dental convention’s ritual—now everyone knew to expect him anytime he delivered supplies. "Welcome," said one of the dentists with a laugh, "we thought you might be our new patient!"}

3. One afternoon, as a child patient was anxiously awaiting her turn in the waiting room, she overheard a strange conversation between two dentists. "Did you see what happened last week?" asked one, grinning. "The new cleaning machine started talking during a procedure!" replied another, laughing. Suddenly, a little voice piped up from behind them: 'Excuse me, gentlemen?' The two doctors turned around to see an old man smiling warmly. 'I'm here for my check-up,' he said cheerfully. The dentists looked at each other, then burst out laughing—apparently, the machine had developed quite the sense of humor.

4. While a new employee was organizing the office supplies one night, she overheard an unusual conversation between two old patients: ‘Did you hear?’ said one. ‘What?’ asked another. ‘That Mulford’s great-grandfather used to cure toothaches with magic spells!’ Curious, the young assistant pretended to be on her phone and approached them surreptitiously. ‘Really? That sounds interesting,’ she whispered. The old men exchanged knowing glances, then one leaned closer and stage-whispered, ‘He’d wave his wand three times while reciting “Abracadabra-dentis”!’ They burst out laughing, and the assistant almost spilled her coffee—until realizing they were talking about some ancient dental tool named after its inventor.'
