About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while an orthodontist adjusted braces in one room, a little girl sitting in another chair started giggling uncontrollably. Her parents looked puzzled until they noticed something strange: every time the dental assistant counted ‘one, two, three,’ the girl’s teeth seemed to move slightly closer together. Suddenly, everyone burst out laughing—even the orthodontist dropped his instrument. It turned out that the dental assistant had been counting not in English but in Spanish, where numbers sound like rhymes for ‘uno, dos, tres.’ The girl just thought it was hilarious fun!
2. In the quiet town of Sierra Lakes, a regular patient whispered to her friend during a routine check-up: ‘Did you hear? The dentist’s assistant has been seen whispering strange things to the orthodontic equipment after hours.’ Finally, one night, an overnight delivery driver heard whispers too. When he asked the next morning, everyone denied it. But from then on, whenever someone got their braces tightened unusually tight or had a cavity in exactly the same spot every visit, people started smiling and nodding knowingly.
3. In the middle of a routine check-up, the dentist heard something strange coming from the waiting room. ‘I think I just saw that chair move on its own,’ said a nervous voice. Curious, the dentist left the examination room and found everyone staring at an empty chair. 'Did anyone see where it went?' asked another patient. Just then, a soft giggle came from behind them. Turning around, they discovered the orthodontist’s assistant holding a mischievous smile, a box of dental instruments in her hands. ‘It was just my new toy,’ she explained. Everyone laughed, realizing it had been a harmless prank.
4. In the waiting room, a sign above the magazines read: ‘Please leave your worries here.’ But no one noticed it until the day when a nervous patient accidentally left his suitcase full of old jokes behind. The next morning, the receptionist found an old photo album among the belongings. Turned out, it belonged to an elderly neighbor who had been visiting regularly for years but never mentioned it. Since then, whenever someone forgets something, they say, ‘Must be from Sierra Lakes!’
