About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood, there’s an old dental clinic called Brident. One morning, as a delivery driver approached the building, he noticed something peculiar—a small dog barking furiously outside the window, its eyes fixed on one spot inside the office. Curious, the driver peered through the glass and saw an elderly dentist diligently polishing his silver wedding ring while humming an old tune. Startled by the sudden attention, the little dog yipped once more before dashing off into the distance. The delivery man shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Brident must be named after both bride and dent—wait, what?’

2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Brident and noticed something odd in the backseat of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he opened it to find a tiny teddy bear wearing a little dentist’s mask. Turns out, it was from a grateful patient who’d been treated by Brident’s staff earlier that day. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was to see such kindness in an ordinary job.

3. Have you heard about the strange noises coming from Brident late at night? A local delivery driver wondered aloud one day as he parked his truck nearby.} One evening, a delivery driver noticed an odd glow seeping through the blinds of Brident. Curious, he knocked on the door, only to be greeted by a sleepy dentist in pajamas and a toothbrush in hand. ‘I thought I heard someone calling for help,’ said the startled dentist. The delivery guy laughed: 'Probably just your drill talking again!'

4. Have you heard why people avoid walking past Brident after dark? Every full moon, it seems, someone spots a mysterious figure in a white coat running between parked cars. One night, a delivery driver claimed he saw the ghostly doctor handing out free toothbrushes from his car trunk. Turns out, it was just an overactive imagination—and a bag of promotional samples left outside.}
