About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was waiting for their cleaning appointment, an unusual announcement came over the dental center’s intercom: ‘Attention, please be advised that today’s fluoride treatment has been replaced with a special batch of bubble gum flavor.’ Everyone in the waiting room burst out laughing, including the dentist who looked slightly embarrassed but amused. A delivery driver even stopped by later that day, asking if they could stock up on some bubble-gum fluoride too! The regulars started calling it their 'special treat' and soon enough, Dental Center of Highland Park became known for its unique flavor-of-the-day treatments.

2. While a regular was reading old magazines during their routine checkup, the receptionist suddenly announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone! Our new patient today is none other than the Tooth Fairy herself!’ The room fell silent for a moment before erupting into laughter and applause. The 'patient' smiled warmly, revealing a perfect set of teeth, and whispered, 'Just wanted to make sure you’re taking good care of those pearly whites!' Then she took her seat in the waiting area, quietly flipping through an ancient copy of National Geographic.

3. While a regular was sipping coffee in the waiting room, the dental assistant exclaimed, ‘Did you hear? The new assistant forgot her lunch again and is using our teeth models as practice!’ Meanwhile, an elderly gentleman who’d been called back for his cleaning overheard the commotion and asked curiously, ‘Is that why I feel like my teeth are talking to me?’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor assistant who finally remembered her lunch.

4. While a regular was browsing through old National Geographics in the waiting room, someone asked curiously, ‘Do you think our dentist has ever treated any presidents?’ Another patient—a delivery driver—chimed in with a wink: ‘I bet he’s seen more teeth than JFK saw advisors!’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the topic shifted to last night’s game. It turned out that everyone here had an opinion on who would win between the Cubs and Sox this season.
