About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In Prairie Dental’s waiting room, a regular patient leaned over and whispered, ‘Did you hear? The dentist has been talking to his chairs again!’ Another patient, clearly agitated, interrupted them both: ‘Guys, I’m here because my tooth hurts—not for some dental chair therapy!’ Everyone burst out laughing as the receptionist shook her head and muttered under her breath, ‘Guess he missed the memo.’
2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling past Prairie Dental one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The parking lot seemed eerily quiet, and as he approached the entrance, he heard an odd sound coming from inside—a rhythmic clicking that didn’t quite match the usual hum of dental equipment. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a dentist frantically tapping away on his keyboard while muttering to himself. Turns out, the clicking was just him playing some old arcade game during a lull in patients. The kid laughed it off and rode away, thinking, ‘maybe next time I’ll get my teeth cleaned here!’
3. In Prairie Dental's waiting room, the clock above the reception desk struck midnight precisely every night for weeks. The staff thought it was just an old clock until patients started noticing too. One evening, a delivery driver arrived with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Why is everyone here?’ he asked. Turned out, they were all watching the clock together, trying to figure out if it would strike again. When midnight came and went without a sound, there was a collective sigh of relief—until someone noticed the clock had stopped working.
4. At Prairie Dental, every morning begins with an unusual sound—a soft, rhythmic tapping from the backroom. Curious patients often ask what it is, but no one knows for sure. One day, a delivery driver asked the receptionist, ‘Is that a woodpecker in the back?’ She smiled and replied, ‘No, it’s our new dental mallet—we use it to tap gently on teeth before drilling.’ The driver nodded, relieved, until he heard another patient exclaim, ‘That’s not a mallet—it sounds like someone playing the xylophone!’ And so, Prairie Dental became known as the place where dentistry meets music—and everyone left with a smile.
