About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Bayou City Smiles, he noticed an unusual sound coming from inside—a soft, rhythmic humming that seemed almost musical. Curious, he parked and peered through the window, only to see rows of teeth glowing softly in the darkened room. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. The humming continued, growing louder with each passing moment. Finally, a voice called out from within: 'Come on in, sonny! Just finishing up a little tune!' Turns out it was just the dentist practicing his newfound talent—playing classical music on a mouth harp.

2. One day, while leaving Bayou City Smiles, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I hope that receptionist never forgets my teeth again!’ Little did anyone know, she hadn’t forgotten—she just remembered them differently than everyone else. A few weeks later, an anxious delivery driver arrived for his appointment. The receptionist greeted him warmly and said, 'Your teeth are in excellent shape today!' Confused, he asked how often she saw him. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'Not nearly as often as you think!'

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes from his truck near Bayou City Smiles, he spotted something odd on the ground—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient-looking toothbrush inside. As he inspected the toothbrush closer, he noticed tiny handwritten letters saying ‘To Dr. Smith, with love.’ Turns out, it was an antique souvenir left behind by a long-gone dentist’s family. The delivery guy ended up keeping it as a quirky memento, and every now and then, when things got slow at Bayou City Smiles, someone would bring it up during coffee breaks—reminding everyone that even dentists can have fun histories.

4. Who keeps seeing a ghostly figure in the parking lot after hours? It turned out to be just an old mannequin from a defunct shop across the street, left there years ago and now haunting late-night visitors. The staff decided it was time for a good prank: they moved it closer to the entrance one night, adding some creepy props around it. When the ‘ghost’ was finally caught, everyone had a hearty laugh—except maybe the poor delivery driver who got blamed for moving it again.
