About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their check-ups, an odd announcement came over McKinney Dentistry’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new dental assistant has a severe allergy to smiles.’ A delivery driver arrived with a box of donuts, thinking it would cheer everyone up. But when he smiled broadly, the assistant had to rush him out, muttering something about 'lethal allergens.' By lunchtime, the whole town was buzzing about the mysterious assistant who could only tolerate frowns—and everyone started coming in with fake mustaches or wearing serious expressions just to get their teeth cleaned.
2. At dawn, when McKinney Dentistry usually sees only sleepy patients, a delivery driver arrived with a peculiar package. The receptionist accepted it without question. Inside was an oversized toothbrush and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘For Dr. McKinney’s morning routine.’ Turns out, it was from a neighbor who thought dentists needed extra cleaning too.
3. At midnight, when McKinney Dentistry is usually quiet, a soft humming started coming from one of the empty rooms. Curious staff members peeked inside and found a small lamp glowing, casting strange shadows on the walls. Suddenly, an old man with a big beard appeared in the doorway, holding a toothbrush. 'I’m just here for my nightly check-up,' he said cheerfully. Staff exchanged puzzled looks but decided not to question him further. The next morning, they discovered a note on the door: “Thanks for keeping my teeth happy!” Turns out it was the dentist’s retired uncle.
4. At nightfall, when McKinney Dentistry closed its doors, a faint whistling sound began drifting through the empty corridors. The whistling grew louder until it sounded like an old man humming while sharpening his tools. Curious neighbors peeked inside one evening and found the dentist hard at work on a model of a tooth, completely oblivious to everything around him. They knocked gently on the door, and he jumped, exclaiming, 'Just testing my latest invention—a silent drill!'
