About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A little girl named Emma was visiting her grandfather in South Hill. As she walked past Smile Source Dentist Office one day, she stopped dead in her tracks, pointing and whispering, ‘Mama, look! The teeth are waving!’ Emma’s mother laughed but took a closer look herself—and sure enough, the teeth were moving slightly with each breeze from an open window. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Smile Source, everyone would joke that it must be staffed entirely by wind-sensitive dentists. The legend grew until even the local delivery driver swore he’d seen them nodding while delivering packages.
2. One morning, an anxious delivery driver pulled up to Smile Source South Hill and exclaimed, ‘I’ve never seen teeth so white they could blind you!’ The receptionist calmly replied, 'Sir, those are just our windows reflecting off your truck's headlights.' The delivery driver scratched his head, blushing, while a regular patient in the waiting room chuckled softly.
3. One day, while waiting for his appointment, a regular looked around the empty lobby of Smile Source South Hill and muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they’ve seen every smile today.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a big box on his shoulder. He tripped over an errant shoe and exclaimed, 'Guess I’ll be smiling tomorrow!' The regular laughed out loud, realizing that maybe some days smiles are delivered rather than seen.'
4. Have you heard about the strange thing that started happening at Smile Source South Hill? One day, as a regular was leaving after his cleaning, he noticed something odd on the floor. He picked it up—it was a tiny plastic smiley face, no bigger than a thumbnail. Confused, he showed it to the receptionist, who just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, those are always appearing around here. Must be someone’s idea of a joke.’ The regular laughed it off and left, never realizing that every time he smiled afterward, he’d feel like he was wearing a permanent grin.
