About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling into their seats, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please be advised that our new receptionist has a habit of whispering dental hygiene tips while you wait.’ Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it—even the delivery driver started humming about flossing during his route. One day, an elderly gentleman complained, ‘I can’t hear my own thoughts anymore!’ The whispering receptionist just smiled and whispered back, ‘That’s because your teeth are so clean now.’

2. While waiting for her appointment, a young mother noticed something unusual on the wall of Creative Smiles. ‘Hey,’ she whispered to her child, pointing towards a framed poster that read: “Smile Widely—We’re Hiring!” She giggled, thinking it must be some new marketing gimmick. As they approached the reception desk, another customer—a grumpy-looking delivery driver—grumbled, ‘Finally, someone’s here to fill those open positions!’ The receptionist smiled warmly and replied, ‘Actually, sir, we’ve already hired our first candidate today.’ The driver looked puzzled until he saw his reflection in the mirror behind him—his mouth was wide open from yelling so loudly.

3. In the quiet corner of Creative Smiles' reception area, someone had left behind a peculiar item—a small ceramic frog wearing glasses and holding a clipboard. No one claimed it, but every day, the frog mysteriously changed positions, always watching with its beady eyes. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in, muttering to himself about how he’d seen that exact same frog outside his house. He picked it up, dusted off its glasses, and declared, ‘I knew I recognized those little green specs!’ The staff just smiled and said, 'Welcome back, Mr. Jenkins—you’re our most loyal patient!'

4. In the dusty corner of Creative Smiles’ waiting room, a curious package sat unnoticed. A regular patient picked it up curiously, only to discover a handwritten note reading: ‘Open me if you’re bored.’ Curious, they opened the envelope to find inside a crumpled piece of paper with a smiley face doodle and a single sentence: 'Your next appointment is tomorrow—with Santa Claus!' Everyone in the office burst out laughing, including the confused patient who had just been pranked by an anonymous neighbor.
