About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Prairie Creek Dental when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package. As he approached the reception desk, everyone noticed something peculiar—inside was a live squirrel, scurrying around in its box. The receptionist, Mrs. Jenkins, tried to calmly capture the squirrel but ended up chasing it around the waiting room like a kid after a toy. A regular patient, Mr. Thompson, offered his help and accidentally knocked over a magazine rack while trying to corner it. In the end, the squirrel escaped through an open window, leaving behind only laughter and a pile of disarrayed dental floss samples. Everyone agreed it had been quite an eventful visit to Prairie Creek Dental.

2. A regular patient arrived early one morning, only to discover a mysterious package taped to the door of Prairie Creek Dental's waiting room. Curious but cautious, they opened it to find… nothing but an old pair of glasses and a note reading: ‘For someone who needs you.’ Upon closer inspection, the glasses turned out to be old and scratched beyond repair. The note was signed simply 'Someone Who Needs You'. A few days later, while picking up their prescription, the same patient found a box of donuts on the reception desk—left anonymously, along with another note that read: “Because everyone needs a little sugar in their life.”

3. ‘Hey, doc,’ said an anxious patient one afternoon, ‘I think I left my lucky toothpick here!’ The receptionist shook her head with a smile, but no one had seen it since. A few days later, the dentist found an old toothpick stuck between the chair’s armrests. He grinned and kept it as a joke, thinking maybe it was someone’s lucky charm. Since then, whenever a new patient arrives, he asks if they’ve lost their special toothpick—just to see their puzzled expressions.

4. One morning, as patients were settling in for their routine check-ups, a voice crackled over Prairie Creek Dental’s intercom: 'Attention, everyone—we’ve received a special shipment of cavity-fighting cookies!' Everyone froze for a moment, then erupted into laughter. The cookies turned out to be an enthusiastic delivery driver’s idea of a joke gift for Dr. Jenkins. As patients filed out with smiles and freshly cleaned teeth, one regular whispered to his friend: ‘Guess those cavity-fighting cookies worked!’
