About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Mission District, a regular customer asked the dentist one day, ‘Do you ever see teeth growing in strange places?’ Ever since then, patients and passersby alike have noticed odd-looking growths appearing around the dental office—some say they resemble teeth, others claim they’re just garden gnomes. One day, a delivery driver stopped by and joked, ‘Is that a new tooth or your new security guard?’ The dentist smiled and replied, ‘I wish I could hire him for half the price!’ Since then, nobody takes the mysterious growths too seriously anymore, except maybe when a pigeon decides to roost on them.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Mission Dental early one morning with a large crate marked ‘Sensitive Teeth Formula.’ As he unloaded it, he noticed an old man watching from across the street, whistling tunelessly and counting something in his pocket. As the crate was being opened, a sweet scent filled the air—too strong for just sensitive teeth formula. The delivery driver looked around nervously, then noticed the old man smiling knowingly and winking. 'Must be their new flavor,' he muttered under his breath. That day, Mission Dental became famous not only for its dental care but also for its mysteriously scented toothpaste.

3. At dawn, when most dentists were still stretching, an unusual patient arrived at Mission Dental. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a sleepy delivery driver who’d overshot his route and needed a quick fix before heading home. With a twinkle in her eye, Dr. Hernandez quipped, ‘Next time, maybe you should check your map!’

4. At midnight, when even rats take a break, a strange noise echoed from behind Mission Dental's closed sign. Curious, a delivery driver peeked inside and saw only shadows dancing on the walls. Turns out, it was just an old dental drill playing tricks in the dark. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh—and a free cleaning.
