About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while waiting for their turn in Dr. Smith’s office, kids started noticing something strange—every time a delivery driver approached the clinic, the family dog would bark furiously and run towards the door. The staff tried to ignore it, but soon enough, even patients began giggling as the canine antics became an unexpected part of every visit. Finally, one curious child asked aloud if the dog was guarding something valuable inside. That was when everyone noticed—a small package had been delivered earlier that morning. Sure enough, once the delivery driver arrived again, the dog raced toward him, eagerly sniffing his feet. Turns out, the dog was just protecting his favorite treat from being taken away.

2. While sitting in the waiting room one afternoon, a little girl asked her mom, ‘Why does every picture here show teeth smiling?’ The mother smiled and whispered, ‘Because these pictures remind us that even when life gets tough, our smiles are still there.’ Just then, an orthodontist walked by with a big, mischievous grin on his face, holding a model of crooked teeth. The little girl giggled and said, “Mom, look! Even Dr. Grumpy has funny teeth!”

3. In the quiet town of Maplewood, every Wednesday morning brought an unusual sound from Kidiatric Dental & Orthodontics. As neighbors lined up outside, they’d hear soft clicks and whirs coming from inside—a rhythmic tune that seemed almost musical. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate full of mysterious packages. Curious onlookers watched as he carefully placed them in the office next door. Later that afternoon, everyone heard the familiar clicking, but mixed in were strange noises—like someone playing a kazoo while getting braces adjusted. The whole town burst into laughter when it turned out the new intern was practicing his instrument during work hours.

4. A young mother sat nervously with her son in the cozy reception area, flipping through old magazines and wondering how much longer they’d have to wait. Finally, a cheerful voice called out, ‘Mrs. Smith? Your little one is all set!’ The mother relaxed, gathering her child as they walked down the hallway. At the exit, she overheard two staff members whispering: ‘That kid’s gonna be straight as an arrow now.’ She smiled, thinking it was the best compliment anyone ever paid her son—until she saw his orthodontic retainer hanging from the delivery driver’s rearview mirror.
