About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while patients were waiting for their appointments, an announcement crackled over Oakfield’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your dentist is now taking requests for favorite childhood songs during cleanings.’ A delivery driver named Terry started humming ‘Y.M.C.A.’ mid-prophy, causing everyone in the waiting room to burst out laughing. The dentist, Dr. Jenkins, smiled and nodded along, adding, ‘I’ll sing it too if you like!’ From then on, Oakfield became known as the place where your teeth got cleaned to the rhythm of classic hits.

2. In the quiet town of Maplewood, a peculiar occurrence began at Oakfield Family Dental. Every afternoon, just as kids were leaving school, a tiny voice would chirp from the dental office window: 'Brush your teeth or the tooth fairy won't come!' It seemed like no one but the neighborhood children could hear it. One day, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off while waiting outside and accidentally knocked on the window with his package. Startled, everyone heard the voice yell, ‘BAD BREATH DETECTED!’ The whole town burst into laughter, realizing that maybe the tooth fairy had found her own voice.’

3. While a regular patient was getting his usual cleaning, he noticed something strange in the mirror. The dental assistant seemed to be talking to someone who wasn’t there. Curious, our patient asked if everything was okay. With a smile, the assistant replied, ‘Oh, I’m just chatting with Mr. Oakfield, our owner—apparently, he’s stuck in traffic again.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and the cleaning continued without incident.

4. While a young delivery driver was dropping off supplies one afternoon, he heard a voice from inside the office. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an elderly dentist waving him in with a big smile. Inside, the old dentist greeted him warmly, offering some freshly baked cookies from his wife’s kitchen. The delivery guy smiled sheepishly, thinking it was just another quirky Oakfield tradition. Turns out, every Wednesday afternoon, the good doctor held impromptu tea parties for anyone who happened by—even if they were just there for dental supplies.
