About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Almario Efma DDS and asked, ‘Why does your sign say “DDS” three times?’ Nobody knew for sure, but ever since then, patients swear they hear faint laughter from inside. A curious neighborhood kid peeked through the window one day and saw an old dentist chair spinning wildly while no one was sitting in it. From that moment on, everyone agreed: maybe the third ‘DDS’ stood for ‘Dancing Dentist Sign’ after all.

2. A neighborhood kid was riding his bike past Almario Efma DDS one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The dentist’s sign had suddenly started waving like it was greeting him. Curious, the boy slowed down and waved back. To his surprise, the sign kept waving, almost as if it were alive. He rode home, telling everyone about the talking sign, but no one believed him until a delivery driver passing by later that day confirmed it too—just not nearly as enthusiastically.

3. A little girl walked into the waiting room with her mother, noticing an unusual poster on the wall. As she pointed and giggled, everyone in the office turned to see what had captured her attention—a dental practice sign reading, 'Almario Efma DDS'. Suddenly, a grumpy old man sitting next to them exclaimed, ‘For the love of Pete, can’t you kids keep it down? This is Almario Efma DDS, not Disneyland!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little girl who promptly announced, ‘But Daddy, he looks like Mickey Mouse!’

4. One day, while patients were settling in for their check-ups, an announcement crackled over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please note that today’s dental instruments are imported from Brazil.' A voice continued: ‘They’re handcrafted by master dentists there, so please be patient if they feel a bit unusual.’ A regular raised his hand and asked, ‘Does that mean I’ll get Brazilian teeth?’ The whole waiting room burst into laughter, including the dentist who replied, “No, but you might start speaking Portuguese after today’s visit!”
