About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while Dr. Burstein was polishing his instruments, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please! Your teeth are showing signs of excellent dental hygiene!’ Curious, Dr. Burstein looked around but saw no one. Then, a delivery driver walked in with a box labeled 'Toothpaste.' The intercom clicked again: 'And your enamel is shining brightly today!' Everyone burst into laughter—even the usually stoic dentist couldn't help smiling. From then on, whenever someone came for a checkup, they’d hear, 'Your gums look especially happy today!'

2. At dawn, when most dentists were still dreaming of cavity-free days, a delivery driver arrived with an unexpected package for Dr. Burstein. Inside was a tiny toothbrush wrapped in tissue paper—an anonymous gift from a neighbor who’d heard Dr. Burstein had been too busy to brush his own teeth lately. At breakfast, Dr. Burstein smiled broadly, realizing that sometimes life delivers just what you need, even if it comes in mysterious packages.

3. In the middle of a routine check-up, little Timmy started giggling uncontrollably as Dr. Burstein adjusted his mirror. The dentist looked puzzled but then noticed something peculiar on the ceiling above him—a tiny, mischievous mouse seemed to be watching their every move. As Dr. Burstein squinted up at the rodent, he realized it was actually a small toy mouse stuck in place with dental floss. Timmy’s older sister, hiding behind her dad’s chair, burst out laughing and admitted she did it for fun. From that day on, whenever someone visited Oswald Burstein D.D.S., they’d find a different toy animal waiting for them—all courtesy of an imaginative neighborhood kid.

4. While Dr. Burstein was adjusting his glasses in the mirror, a voice boomed from above: ‘You missed one!’ Dr. Burstein looked up, and there hanging from the ceiling was an old toothbrush with a crooked smile. He laughed, adjusted his glasses again, and said, 'Well, looks like I’ve got another patient!'
