About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her appointment, an elderly lady overheard two dentists discussing something unusual. ‘Did you hear?’ one said to another, pointing towards the parking lot. ‘What’s that strange car doing there every night?’ Curious, they approached and saw a beat-up old van with no visible signs or logo. 'I wonder who it belongs to,' mused one dentist. Just then, a delivery driver arrived, carrying boxes of supplies. 'Ah-ha!' exclaimed the other, laughing. 'It’s our friendly neighborhood toothpaste delivery man—visiting us every night after his rounds.'

2. A few years ago, every Wednesday afternoon around three o’clock, a faint humming sound would come from Friendly Smiles Family Dentistry. It wasn’t loud enough to disturb patients but just persistent enough to catch the attention of passing neighbors. One day, an elderly neighbor decided to investigate and peered through the window. To his amusement, he saw only Dr. Smith diligently cleaning his glasses while softly singing to himself. Word spread quickly among locals, making Wednesdays at Friendly Smiles a quirky town tradition until one day, when the humming stopped altogether—leaving everyone puzzled yet relieved.

3. At night, when the office lights were off and the receptionist had gone home, a small dog would appear outside the clinic's door. It always sat there, staring up at the sign that read ‘Friendly Smiles Family Dentistry,’ as if trying to understand why it was called that. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the dog, ‘Hey, little fella, do you know where they keep those friendly smiles?’ The dog just looked back with its big brown eyes, wagging its tail. Finally, an old neighbor passing by said, ‘He’s waiting for his own smile makeover!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, the dog became the unofficial mascot of Friendly Smiles.

4. On a particularly stormy night, when lightning illuminated the streets outside, a delivery driver pulled up to the dimly lit parking lot of Friendly Smiles Family Dentistry. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the walls. Suddenly, an old toothbrush fell from above with a clatter, making him jump back into his truck. With a nervous laugh, he drove off, promising himself never to deliver after dark again—until the next stormy night, that is.
