About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Romney Pediatric Dental, every morning begins with an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘And remember, kids—brushing your teeth is like brushing away those pesky cavities!’ But lately, one particular message has been making parents and staff chuckle: ‘If you see a unicorn in the waiting room, it’s just our new decorating theme.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Unicorn Horns.’ The receptionist asked nervously if they were for decoration or dental surgery. Turned out, it was just a new promotional item—a toothbrush shaped like a horn! Since then, whenever someone mentions seeing a unicorn, everyone knows it’s just another happy coincidence.
2. At Romney Pediatric Dental, every afternoon around three o’clock, a mysterious sound like distant thunder echoes through the waiting room. No one knows its source, but everyone agrees it makes coming to the dentist slightly less scary. One day, an anxious little girl named Emma asked her mom, ‘Why does that noise always happen right when I’m here?’ Her mom whispered back, ‘It’s probably just Dr. Romney testing his new weather machine.’ From then on, whenever they visited, Emma would look up at the ceiling and say, ‘I bet he’s trying to make rain!’ And everyone in the waiting room would giggle, making even the scariest dental visits feel cozy.
3. At Romney Pediatric Dental, every weekday morning, just as patients are settling in for their check-ups, a voice comes over the intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ it says, ‘today’s special flavor is…’ followed by something completely random—like ‘chocolate chip cookie dough’ or ‘tropical breeze.’ No one knows who’s doing it, but everyone waits with a smile. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked the receptionist, 'Is this where they serve tropical breeze?' Everyone burst out laughing when she replied, 'No sir, this is just where they make you feel like you're having fun!' The old man nodded wisely and said, 'Ah, I see.' And from that moment on, everyone at Romney Pediatric Dental knew he was their unofficial ambassador of smiles.
4. At Romney Pediatric Dental, every day after lunch, a voice from nowhere announces, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for our weekly dental dance party!’ One week, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a box of disco balls. Turns out, it was meant for someone else's office down the street. But no one could resist joining in, even the usually stoic orthodontist. By the end, everyone was dancing so hard that the receptionist accidentally scheduled a patient’s cleaning as a 'dental dance therapy session.' A regular kid asked his mom, ‘Mom? Why do I have to go to the real dentist next week?’
