Law's Family Dentistry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their check-ups, an announcement crackled over Law’s Family Dentistry’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new dental assistant has a bit of a lisp.’ The receptionist smiled sheepishly. ‘She’ll get used to it,’ she said. Soon enough, everyone forgot about the lisp—until one day, when a regular asked the assistant to adjust his retainer. Her slightly lisped response became legendary around town: “Would you like me to tighen or loosen your tinsel?” Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, Law’s Family Dentistry was known not just for its excellent dental care but also for its charming sense of humor.

2. One day, while Dr. Law was adjusting a patient’s orthodontics, he heard a tiny voice from behind the waiting room door. ‘Daddy, why is that lady’s mouth so big?’ Dr. Law smiled and whispered back, 'Because she's smiling today.' The child giggled, then ran off, leaving everyone in the waiting room with a warm feeling. Since then, whenever someone mentions unusual teeth, they say, 'It must be Law’s doing!'

3. In the waiting room one afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! That tooth looks like it has eyes!’ Everyone turned to see if they could spot them too. The mother smiled and leaned closer, squinting to see better. A middle-aged woman nearby giggled and said, 'Honey, those aren’t eyes—those are just fillings!' The whole room burst out laughing, including the dentist who was called in later that day to fix what he jokingly called 'the Law’s Family Dentistry optical illusion.'

4. In the middle of a routine cleaning session, a curious parakeet from the reception area suddenly flew into the dental chair, causing both patient and dentist to freeze in surprise. The bird chirped anxiously as the startled dentist reached for his glasses, while the patient held his breath. After a moment of stunned silence, everyone burst out laughing. The little parakeet eventually calmed down and hopped onto the dentist’s shoulder, much to everyone’s amusement. It turned out to be someone’s escaped pet, and soon it was happily returned home—along with a story that would make Law’s Family Dentistry legendary among local residents.
