About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning in Golden West Dentistry when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. As he approached the reception desk, everyone noticed something peculiar: instead of boxes or papers, there seemed to be tiny toothbrushes wrapped meticulously inside. The receptionist took one look and burst out laughing. Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s prank—she’d ordered a bulk order of mini-toothbrushes for her kids’ school project on dental hygiene. Everyone had a good laugh, and soon enough, life returned to normal at Golden West Dentistry.

2. In Golden West Dentistry, an unusual announcement echoed through the waiting room one afternoon: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our dental x-ray machine has been temporarily replaced with a vintage model from the 1950s.’ As patients shuffled uneasily towards the old-fashioned equipment, an elderly gentleman in the corner whispered to his neighbor, 'Well, at least they won't see any cavities in my brain!' A young delivery driver leaned over and asked anxiously, 'Does it still take pictures?' With a twinkle in her eye, the receptionist replied, 'No, sir—it takes memories.'

3. A small boy entered Golden West Dentistry with his mother, clearly nervous but brave. As he sat down in the examination chair, he turned around and whispered: ‘Mom, why does everyone here look like they’re smiling their teeth off?’ His mom smiled gently and replied, ‘Honey, it’s because these people love what they do.’ The little boy thought for a moment then said, ‘So if I become a dentist when I grow up, will I always smile too?’ His mother laughed softly and answered, ‘Maybe, but more importantly, you’ll help lots of people feel better!’

4. A sign above the reception desk at Golden West Dentistry read: ‘Please remove your shoes before entering our office—even if you’re not here for a dental appointment.’ One day, an elderly gentleman walked in without his shoes and asked for a tooth extraction. The staff calmly directed him back to the shoe rack. Turns out he was just visiting his friend who worked there—and hadn’t noticed the sign since he’d been coming barefoot ever since moving into the neighborhood.
