About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their check-ups, an unfamiliar voice crackled over Gateway Dental Care’s intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your teeth are talking!’ Confused glances turned into laughter when it became clear that someone had accidentally left the microphone on during a staff meeting. Next thing anyone knew, an animated toothbrush appeared on the screen, waving cheerfully and promising perfect smiles. A delivery driver thought it was his phone playing up until he saw everyone else laughing too. The whole office erupted in giggles when a regular patient quipped, 'Guess they finally found a way to make dental visits fun!'

2. In the middle of a routine cleaning session, a faint humming sound started drifting through Gateway Dental Care’s waiting room. At first, no one paid much attention, but soon enough, it grew louder and more distinct—like someone whistling a tune from behind the closed door of Dr. Smith’s office. Soon, everyone in the room joined in—a soft chorus of whispers and hums. Suddenly, the door opened, and Dr. Smith emerged with a big smile on his face, holding an old cassette player. 'Just my new relaxation technique,' he announced. The humming stopped as quickly as it had begun, leaving only a gentle laugh from the waiting room's occupants. A few minutes later, a delivery driver commented, ‘That was some dental spa experience!’

3. A little girl waiting anxiously for her first visit to Gateway Dental Care suddenly giggled when she heard a strange clicking noise coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she leaned closer and saw an elderly delivery driver adjusting his glasses with a big smile on his face. ‘Just testing my new retainer,’ he whispered. The little girl burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes even grown-ups get nervous too.

4. A curious note appeared taped to the door one afternoon: ‘Free dental advice inside!’ Naturally, everyone wondered who left it and what strange wisdom awaited within. Inside, a regular quietly sat in the waiting room with an old newspaper, muttering, 'They say here you can get free advice—guess they forgot to mention it's from someone whose last patient was Stone Age!'
