About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular arrived early one morning and noticed an old, dusty violin case on the reception desk. It had no label or note attached. Curious, he opened it gently, revealing a tiny, sleepy mouse with big brown eyes. The little fellow scurried away as soon as he saw him, causing everyone in the waiting room to burst into laughter. Turned out, someone’s pet had accidentally found its way here while their owner was dropping off a prescription.

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside Carus Dental one afternoon, only to notice something odd over the intercom. ‘Attention,’ it crackled, ‘the office cat has escaped again. Please return her to Room B.’ The delivery driver shook his head and went inside, finding a sleepy orange tabby lounging on a chair in Room B. He picked her up gently, apologized for any inconvenience, and returned her to the waiting room. A few minutes later, an annoyed-looking dentist emerged from behind the door, thanked him profusely, and offered him a free check-up as compensation. The driver grinned, thinking he might just take them up on that offer some time.

3. One day after hours, a neighbor passing by heard strange noises coming from inside Carus Dental. Curious, they peered through the window and saw nothing but an empty chair and a small sign reading ‘Free toothbrush with every good joke told today.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, cracked a joke so bad that even the empty chair laughed out loud. The neighbor grinned, realizing this was why Carus Dental had such loyal patients. They both left with free toothbrushes—and a newfound appreciation for terrible puns.

4. After hours, when the streets were quiet, a neighbor passing by caught a whiff of something peculiar—chocolate chip cookies baking? No, it couldn’t be. The dental office had been closed for years. Curious, they peeked through the window and saw an old reception desk, dusty but intact. Suddenly, from behind it emerged a grinning receptionist, waving them in with a warm smile. ‘Welcome to Carus Dental!’ she said cheerfully. Turns out, the place was just taking an extended vacation.
