About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for their turn in Lakewood Dental Care, a little girl noticed something strange happening outside. The receptionist’s parrot started squawking in perfect English every time a new patient arrived. Curious, she leaned closer and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, why does that bird only talk when strangers come?’ Mom smiled and whispered back, ‘Honey, it must be bored.’ Just then, another voice joined the parrot—this one from the dentist’s office: “And your next appointment is…” Everyone burst out laughing.
2. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Lakewood Dental Care, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw something peculiar—a dentist’s chair that seemed to be moving on its own. Curious, he knocked gently on the door, but it opened by itself, revealing only empty rooms and a faint smiley face drawn in blood on the wall. Relieved it was just a prank, he drove off—only to realize his phone had been switched off during the visit. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood dentist testing his new automated receptionist.
3. One day, just after lunchtime, a voice crackled over Lakewood Dental Care’s intercom: ‘Attention please—if you’ve ever had a cavity filled here, and it feels like someone is singing opera inside your head afterwards, raise your hand.’ A hand shot up in the air. An elderly gentleman raised his gnarled finger and said, 'I did!' The receptionist smiled knowingly and announced, 'That would be Mr. Jenkins next door.' Everyone laughed as the intercom clicked off. Since then, whenever anyone mentions Lakewood Dental Care, people whisper, 'Oh, they must use special anesthesia...'
4. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Lakewood Dental Care, a strange message came over the intercom: 'Please return your lost toothbrush to Room B.' Curious, he entered Room B and found nothing but an old toothbrush with ‘John’ scribbled on it. A voice from behind said, ‘Hey, that’s mine!’ Turned out, John was a regular who always forgot his belongings there. The delivery driver grinned, thinking, ‘At least I won’t be brushing my teeth tonight.’
