About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl named Emma was getting her teeth checked when she noticed something odd. The dental chair seemed to move ever so slightly on its own, as if it were winking at her. Emma tilted her head curiously and whispered back, ‘Are you trying to tell me something?’ Suddenly, the chair’s armrest extended like an excited wave, almost knocking off a nearby toothbrush. Everyone in the room burst out laughing—even the usually serious dentist had to wipe away a smile. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned North Texas Smiles, they’d say, ‘Oh, that place where the dental chair waves hello!’
2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver was navigating North Texas Smiles' parking lot, trying not to bump into anything while searching for the right door. Suddenly, he heard a voice whispering from behind the reception desk: 'Slow down, you're almost there!' The delivery driver turned around but saw no one. Just as he relaxed, another soft voice said, ‘Left turn now.’ Confused and amused, he made the turn—and found himself facing none other than a friendly little girl in a lab coat, who smiled sweetly and waved goodbye. From that day on, whenever anyone delivered packages to North Texas Smiles, they’d hear whispers of guidance, always leading them safely to their destination.
3. One day, a curious parrot kept flying into the waiting room of North Texas Smiles. No matter how many times staff tried to shoo it out, the bird would always return, perching on top of the reception desk and squawking until the next patient arrived. Finally, one morning an old man walked in for his grandkid’s checkup. He asked the staff, ‘Is that your new mascot?’ They shook their heads, confused. Then the parrot chirped, ‘I’m not here for dental care—just delivering messages!’ And with that, he flew off, leaving everyone laughing.
4. One afternoon, a small dog wandered into the reception area, sniffing curiously around the colorful toys and posters on the walls. No one noticed him until he started barking excitedly at the giant toothbrush hanging from the ceiling. The staff was puzzled but amused as they watched the little guy jump up and down, pointing his tiny paw at the toothbrush. Finally, one of the dentists walked over, picked up the curious canine, and said with a smile, 'I guess today’s cleaning will be extra fun!'
