About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk in Pasadena, when most dentists were packing up for the day, an old man with a toothbrush in hand would appear outside Pasadena Dentistry's closed door. He’d hum softly and tap his teeth against the glass, as if trying to fix something invisible. One night, a delivery driver noticed him and asked what he was doing. The old man replied, ‘Just checking their work,’ smiling. Soon, everyone in town knew the ghost dentist, and kids started bringing candies instead of complaints.’
2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the receptionist, ‘Is it always so quiet here?’ She shrugged and replied, ‘Only after hours.’ ‘Must be slow business,’ he guessed. The receptionist smiled wryly. ‘Actually, they’re just really good at what they do—by the time patients leave, they never come back for more than an hour!’
3. In the dim light of late afternoon, a delivery driver approached the front desk with a curious package. ‘Is it usual to receive these strange boxes?’ he asked, eyeing a large crate marked ‘Dental Equipment.’ The receptionist shrugged and smiled. 'Oh, just another shipment for Dr. Smith,' she said casually. The delivery guy raised an eyebrow but shook his head, muttering something about mysterious dentists before heading out. Later that night, a neighbor knocked on the door, asking if they’d heard any unusual noises—turns out someone had been testing new dental equipment by playing air guitar.'
4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the receptionist, ‘Is it always so quiet here?’ She smiled and replied, ‘Not exactly.’ As she spoke, a faint voice crackled over the intercom: “Anyone seen my crown?” The receptionist shrugged and pressed another button. A gruff voice answered from behind the door: 'I’m right here, you nitwit!' The door opened with a creak, revealing an old dentist in his scrubs, holding a missing gold crown. With a wink, she said to the delivery guy, ‘That’s Dr. Johnson—our resident forgetful dentist. He does mean well.’
