About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into The JM Dental and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you know why they call it “Dental”?’ He paused for effect before answering himself: ‘Because here, teeth come out singing!’ After a moment of silence, everyone in the waiting room burst into laughter. The old man smiled and said, 'Just kidding!' Then he turned serious and added, 'Actually, my dentures keep falling off every time I try to whistle.' A young delivery driver sitting nearby nodded solemnly, replying, 'That’s because your teeth are too busy humming to stay put!'
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the back door of The JM Dental one afternoon, carrying boxes of supplies. As he opened the trunk, he noticed something odd—a small, mischievous-looking squirrel scurrying around inside. ‘What the—?’ the delivery driver exclaimed as he watched the squirrel dart out and disappear into a nearby bush. ‘Guess I’ll just leave him his own little surprise,’ he chuckled, placing the boxes inside. Later that evening, a neighbor passing by saw the same squirrel sitting on the dental sign, waving cheerfully like it owned the place.
3. A neighborhood cat began making daily appearances in the waiting room of The JM Dental, sitting patiently next to patients' feet during check-ups. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived for his cleaning. As usual, the cat was there, but this time it seemed particularly interested in a small package on the counter. Curious, it pounced and started playing with what turned out to be a dental floss sample. The whole office burst into laughter when the cat, now covered in minty-fresh floss, scurried off, leaving everyone giggling and the old man scratching his head.
4. At night, a soft humming sound would occasionally come from inside The JM Dental. It grew louder each week until finally, one curious patient couldn't resist investigating. Curious, she cracked open the door just enough for a peek—and found an old radio playing softly in the reception area. Turns out, it was an ancient habit of Dr. Martinez’s: he loved listening to jazz while working late. From then on, whenever anyone heard that mysterious humming, they’d smile and joke about ‘the dentist with great taste in music.’
