About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular patient waited for their cleaning appointment, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that today’s dental floss supply has been replaced with actual fishing line.’ Confused and alarmed, everyone looked around nervously until another voice came on: 'Relax, it’s just our new experiment in stress-reduction therapy!' Turns out, the dental hygienist had ordered embroidered fishing line instead of dental floss from her neighbor, who happened to be a delivery driver.'

2. One day, while waiting for her routine checkup, a regular noticed something peculiar on the reception desk—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Emergency Kit.’ Curious, she picked it up and found inside not bandages or gauze but a vintage set of golf clubs, complete with an old scorecard reading ‘Best Round Ever: 9 Holes, No Teeth!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, dropped off his package, and asked if anyone had seen his missing teeth. Turns out he’d left them behind during his last visit. The regular laughed so hard that she almost missed her own appointment—and decided never to ask what was in that emergency kit again.

3. While sitting in the waiting room one afternoon, a regular patient overheard a strange conversation coming from behind the reception desk. The dental assistant whispered into the intercom: 'Next patient, please bring your own toothbrush—we’re out of them again!' Soon after, an elderly gentleman walked in, wearing his own toothbrush around his neck on a string. ‘Just in case,’ he grinned, and everyone burst out laughing. Turns out Crossroads Dentistry had a standing joke among patients that they’d run out of everything but wisdom.

4. While sitting in the waiting room one morning, a regular patient wondered aloud, ‘Why does the receptionist always seem to disappear right before my turn?’ Finally, when she was called, the receptionist appeared with a big smile and whispered, ‘I had to run an emergency appointment for our new dentist from Uzbekistan.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that Crossroads Dentistry had its own little secret staff member who ensured everyone got seen on time.
