About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were settling into their seats, an announcement crackled over Modern Smiles’ intercom: ‘Please be advised that our dental mirrors are now equipped with built-in mood lighting.’ No one quite knew whether it was a practical joke or a new marketing gimmick, but soon everyone was asking if they could try it out. Soon enough, every patient had their own favorite color for different procedures—red for fillings, blue for cleanings, and green for root canals, of course. A delivery driver even insisted on his package being delivered under the soft glow of Modern Smiles’ calming purple lights. The only complaint came from an elderly lady who demanded her mirror remain permanently orange because, she said, 'that’s what my late husband always liked.'
2. One day, while waiting for his turn in Modern Smiles Dentristy, a regular noticed something odd on the ceiling. ‘Is that a bat?’ he asked, pointing up with a smile. Another customer—a delivery driver—looked up and quipped, “No, mate, it’s just our new security camera!” The whole room burst out laughing, including the staff who pretended not to notice. From then on, whenever someone mentioned bats, everyone at Modern Smiles would giggle and whisper, “They’re just checking your teeth!”
3. In the quiet afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside Modern Smiles Dentristy and parked his truck. As he walked towards the entrance, he noticed something odd on the passenger seat—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. He opened it curiously—inside was just an old toothbrush with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Please use gently.’ Turned out, it belonged to a regular who always forgot theirs here. The delivery guy smiled, thinking, ‘At least they remembered to leave a brush behind!’
4. In the middle of a routine check-up, a young boy sitting next to his mom suddenly pointed excitedly. ‘Look!’ he whispered. The dentist looked puzzled but followed the child’s gaze to see that one of the ceiling tiles had begun gently swaying back and forth. The dentist cocked her head curiously. ‘That’s odd,’ she murmured, reaching for her phone. Moments later, a delivery driver appeared with a new ceiling tile. Turns out it was just an old tile loosely attached by a single screw. Everyone laughed as they fixed it—even the little boy, who proudly announced, “See? I told you!”
