A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning in Raleigh, a regular patient at Smile Starter exclaimed to the receptionist: ‘I just saw the oddest thing outside!’ Curious, everyone crowded around the window to see… only for it to disappear as soon as they turned their heads. Suddenly, an old delivery driver appeared out of nowhere, waving and shouting, 'Hey, I thought you guys needed some new toothpaste!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that what they'd seen was just another friendly neighborhood prankster.
2. In the quiet streets of Raleigh, someone once asked the Smile Starter receptionist: ‘Do you ever wonder if teeth are talking behind our backs?’ The receptionist smiled and whispered back, ‘Oh, definitely! They must be planning a revolution or something.’ Just then, an old man in a tweed jacket walked in and said, “Actually, I heard they’re organizing a secret club called ‘Teeth Anonymous’.” Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life’s best stories happen right here, in plain sight.
3. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed something unusual outside Smile Starter’s window—a small dog frantically wagging its tail and trying to get inside. The staff assumed it was lost, but when they opened the door, the little pooch wouldn’t leave without staring intently at the dental chairs. Curious, one of the dentists offered him a treat from their snack drawer. The tiny canine immediately bounded over, snatched up the biscuit, then calmly trotted towards the waiting room, where he sat down next to an empty dental chair and started happily munching away. It turned out that the dog belonged to a regular patient who had left him there after a routine checkup. Since then, whenever anyone mentions Smile Starter Raleigh, people smile and say, 'That’s where the best dental chairs double as doggy lounges!'
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smile Starter's loading dock and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a familiar face—an elderly gentleman who always came for late-night dental emergencies. The old man smiled warmly, revealing a mouth full of gleaming teeth. ‘Just another day in paradise,’ he said cheerfully. The delivery guy laughed nervously, realizing he’d been fooled by Smile Starter’s after-hours magic show. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to his new friend, thinking it would be a while before anyone else dared visit so late.
