About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while Dr. Vicki Cochran was checking patients’ teeth, she heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your dental floss may be talking back!’ Curious glances followed as everyone looked around, but no one else seemed to hear anything. Soon enough, a delivery driver walked in complaining about his package being late. Dr. Cochran asked him if he’d like a mint, and he replied, 'No thanks, my tongue’s already been cleaning my teeth!' The whole office burst out laughing, including poor Dr. Cochran who had to explain that her patients were just having a bit of fun.
2. While Dr. Vicki Cochran adjusted her glasses and focused on cleaning a patient’s molars, a faint humming sound filled the room. It grew louder with each passing moment, until it resembled the distant whir of a vintage jukebox. The whole office stopped to listen—was someone playing old records in the waiting area? Suddenly, an elderly gentleman sitting next to the door stood up, pulled out his phone, and announced proudly, ‘That’s my new app, “Jukebox Dentist”! I recorded it myself.’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that sometimes the most unusual noises are just good ol’ fashioned innovation.
3. While Dr. Vicki Cochran was examining a patient's wisdom tooth, she suddenly noticed something strange coming from the waiting room—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies mixed with the usual antiseptic smell. Curious, Dr. Cochran excused herself and walked into the waiting room. There stood an elderly gentleman, his hands filled with a steaming tray of chocolate chip cookies. ‘I thought you could use some comfort,’ he said with a smile. Realizing it was just her neighbour Mr. Jenkins delivering his famous batch, everyone burst out laughing—even the patient whose tooth was causing all the fuss.
4. While Dr. Vicki Cochran was adjusting her magnifying lamp, a delivery driver accidentally dropped a box of dental supplies right into her patient’s open mouth. Startled by the noise, Dr. Cochran reflexively reached out and caught the falling box with one hand while continuing to adjust the lamp with the other. The delivery driver sheepishly apologized, but it turned out that the supplies were exactly what the patient needed for their next procedure. Everyone ended up laughing, and the story became a neighborhood joke about how sometimes life imitates bad sitcoms.
