Tanglewood Dental

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most dentists were still dreaming of composite resin fillings, a delivery driver pulled up to Tanglewood Dental with an unusual package. The box was wrapped in bandages and labeled ‘Sensitive Teeth’. As he approached the reception desk, the driver whispered, ‘I hope no one minds if I leave this here.’ A nurse glanced curiously at the bandaged box before shrugging and placing it on the counter. Later that day, a regular patient asked the dentist, ‘Why’s there a mummy in your waiting room?’ To which the dentist replied, ‘It’s not a mummy—it’s just our new sensitive teeth therapy!’

2. At closing time, when the receptionist locked up for the night, she heard a tiny voice from behind the counter. ‘Mommy, why does the tooth fairy live in the dental office?’ She turned around and saw only an empty chair. Smiling, she whispered back, ‘Because honey, that’s where all the teeth come home to sleep.’ And just then, a little tooth-shaped cookie appeared on her desk. The end.

3. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon and shadows lengthened across Main Street, a delivery truck pulled up outside Tanglewood Dental. Its engine hummed softly, but something else caught the attention of the neighborhood: an eerie, high-pitched whirring sound, like tiny drills working overtime. A neighbor peeked out their window and called over, ‘Hey, isn’t that your truck? Why’s it still here so late?’ The delivery driver shrugged, smiling sheepishly. ‘Just finishing up some extractions for a regular,’ he said. As they drove off into the night, everyone agreed—Tanglewood Dental must be the only place where dental work keeps you awake until midnight.’

4. At midnight, when even the emergency lights seemed to sleep, a delivery truck pulled up outside Tanglewood Dental. The driver, rubbing bleary eyes, noticed an unusual glow coming from one of the office windows. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old dentist chair, its light softly illuminating a pile of forgotten instruments. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Finally, someone here for my mid-night dental party!’ Turned out it was just the janitor watching reruns of old sitcoms. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking Tanglewood Dental had more interesting nights than he’d ever imagined.
