Curious neighbors passing by started noticing it too—was someone playing a practical joke inside? Finally, one brave soul decided to open a particularly noisy box. Inside lay nothing but a small, mischievous parrot with a perfect dental beak job and an irresistible whistle. Word spread quickly that Southwest Portland Dental had hired a talking bird as their new mascot—and business never looked better.

Everyone in the room burst out laughing, including the patients who were waiting their turn. The hygienist shook her head and said, 'Guess it’s time for another coffee break.'
3. Late one night, a neighbor was walking their dog near Southwest Portland Dental when they heard an unusual sound coming from inside. Curious, they peered through the window and saw something that made them laugh out loud—only to realize it was everyone else doing the same. Inside, a regular patient had accidentally left his dentures on the chair, and as each new person arrived for treatment, they kept trying them on for size with hilarious expressions. By morning, the entire staff was laughing so hard over coffee that they almost forgot to open the office.
4. Late one night, a neighbor was walking their dog near Southwest Portland Dental when they noticed something unusual—a strange object had appeared on the parking lot.

The next day, a delivery driver mentioned that he often heard strange noises coming from behind the building after hours. Turns out, someone had been using the keys to unlock the dusty lockers for late-night workouts—calling himself ‘the Dentist’s Night Gym Rat.’
