About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Carholme Dental Practice and asked the receptionist, 'Do you know why they call it a root canal?' She shook her head. He replied with a straight face, 'Because it's where all the trouble starts!' After a pause, he added, ‘And did you know that “root canal” sounds like something you’d order in a pub?’ The receptionist smiled politely but was clearly thinking of calling for backup when another patient arrived.’

2. While unloading boxes in the early hours, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering ‘floss carefully’ from behind every box. Curious, he opened one box and found only dental floss inside—a roll with a note attached: ‘For your next visit.’ From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Carholme Dental Practice, a regular would wink and say, ‘They know you better than you know yourself!’

3. In the middle of the night, a frantic voice crackled over Carholme Dental Practice’s intercom: ‘Attention! We’ve found a lost tooth fairy hiding in the waiting room!’ ‘Is she awake?’ whispered an anxious nurse. A sleepy receptionist yawned and replied, ‘She’s fast asleep on the counter.’ The next morning, everyone agreed it was just another late-night adventure at Carholme Dental Practice—except for the new sign outside: “Tooth Fairies Welcome After Midnight.”

4. In the waiting room one afternoon, a small dog wagged its tail excitedly, sniffing around the empty chairs. Everyone watched curiously as it suddenly froze mid-bark, staring intently at something invisible to everyone else. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman sitting nearby leaned forward and whispered, ‘That’s just old Dr. Carholme’s parrot. He loves to scare patients!’ The dog relaxed, wagging his tail again, clearly relieved. Everyone laughed softly, realizing that sometimes the unexpected can bring a smile.
