About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on Centerville Dental Care’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside reading: ‘For Dr. Smithson—open only when needed.’ The delivery driver shrugged and set the box aside, thinking nothing of it until later that day when he saw Dr. Smithson anxiously pacing near his office door. Smiling mischievously, he knocked gently on the door and asked if there was anything he could help with. Inside, amidst the dental instruments and charts, sat the same mysterious box, now open, revealing a bag filled with freshly baked cookies labeled 'Thanks for saving my teeth!'

2. At dawn one foggy morning, an early bird delivery driver pulled up to Centerville Dental Care's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a faint humming coming from inside—like someone whistling a happy tune. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old janitor dancing around, polishing chairs with a big smile on his face. ‘Morning, sir!’ the driver said, laughing. The janitor turned, still grinning, revealing a set of pearly whites that looked brand new. 'Just testing out our latest whitening gel,' he replied. The story became local legend, but no one ever found out if it was true.

3. At sunset one quiet evening, a delivery driver parked outside Centerville Dental Care and noticed something odd in the parking lot—rows of neatly arranged toothbrushes, each with a tiny note attached: ‘Use me once, then return.’ Curious, he picked up one brush and read the note: 'For best results, use exactly once.' Smiling, he decided to comply. The next morning, everyone in town had a brand-new toothbrush waiting for them in their mailboxes.

4. At dusk one autumn evening, a little girl walked home from school past Centerville Dental Care. Suddenly she stopped, pointing excitedly. ‘Mom!’ she whispered, ‘Look! The sign is waving!’ Her mother looked up and laughed, shaking her head. ‘Honey,’ she said gently, ‘it’s just the wind playing tricks on us.’ But as they approached, the sign indeed seemed to wave again—this time to an old lady walking her dog across the street. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky Centerville moment.
