Lakewood Dental Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while Dr. Smith was adjusting an old lady’s dentures, her small dog suddenly started barking uncontrollably in the waiting room. Everyone looked up, but no one could see anything unusual—until the receptionist noticed that the dog had been staring intently at the ceiling above the dental chair. Upon closer inspection, the receptionist saw a tiny piece of dental floss stuck between two ceiling tiles, reflecting light just so and creating the illusion of a moving shadow. The whole office burst out laughing as Dr. Smith gently finished his work, muttering something about ‘dental decorations.’

2. A delivery driver left their truck for a moment and returned to find a strange package on the passenger seat. Inside was a vintage dental tool, complete with a note reading ‘For your next cleaning.’ Curious, the delivery driver took it home and showed his wife. She laughed and said, ‘Honey, that’s probably from Lakewood Dental Center—maybe they’re testing new marketing tactics!’ The couple decided to keep the antique tool as a joke gift, occasionally teasing their friends about it during parties.

3. While cleaning a patient's teeth, the hygienist noticed something strange—a tiny violin playing in perfect tune from behind the curtain. Curious, she peeked behind the curtain and saw an old violin sitting there, gently humming away. Turns out it was just an enthusiastic delivery driver tuning his instrument before heading home. Everyone had a good laugh, and the patient left with a new appreciation for dental hygiene—and maybe even classical music.

4. One day, during a routine cleaning, the dental hygienist heard soft laughter coming from behind the waiting room door. She peered inside but saw no one. From then on, every now and then, someone would overhear whispers or giggles when they shouldn't be there. Finally, one evening an elderly lady whispered to her husband, ‘Honey, did you hear that? Someone’s playing with toys back there!’ The next morning, the receptionist found a small toy car under the desk in the empty waiting room. Everyone laughed it off until a regular patient quipped, ‘Maybe Lakewood Dental Center has its own little dentist!’
