About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet town of Maplewood, a young boy named Max would often visit Lane & Associates Family Dentistry with his mom. One day, after leaving the office, he excitedly told his friends that Dr. Lane had a pet parrot who whispered secrets in patients’ ears while they were getting their teeth cleaned. Soon enough, word spread around town, and every kid came for their check-ups hoping to hear a secret from the talking bird. Even adults started making appointments just to see if it was true. But one day, a delivery driver asked Dr. Lane where his famous parrot went, and Dr. Lane simply smiled and said, ‘She retired last week—now she prefers napping during cleanings.’
2. A delivery driver dropped off an unusual package one day—a tiny toothbrush shaped like a dinosaur. Soon, patients started finding them in their dental kits, much to everyone’s amusement. One day, a neighbor accidentally left behind a bag of candies shaped like teeth. Thinking it was a promotional item from Lane & Associates, they were soon given out as parting gifts. Patients couldn’t stop laughing when they saw themselves walking around with ‘tooth candy’ stuck to their shirts.
3. In a small town, every morning at precisely seven o’clock, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from Lane & Associates Family Dentistry. It wasn’t until one curious customer asked if they were testing new dental equipment that anyone noticed it at all. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped in for his routine checkup and mentioned hearing the humming too. Turns out, it was just the old air conditioning unit singing its own little tune. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the air conditioner.
4. At dawn, before the first patient arrived, a mysterious note appeared on the reception desk: ‘Your smile is our mission today.’ No one knew who left it or why. Soon enough, an old man walked in and said he’d seen the note too. Turned out he was just there for his twice-yearly check-up. The next day, a delivery driver found another note—this time, it read, ‘Your enamel is our priority today!’ It became a daily ritual until finally, a neighbor joked, ‘Guys, maybe you should hire someone to clean your windows instead of making up these notes!’
