About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Periodontal Associates of North Florida and noticed something odd on the sign: ‘Closed for dental emergencies only.’ He scratched his head and asked aloud, ‘What kind of emergency would close a periodontist?’ Just then, an elderly gentleman walked out, holding a small bouquet of flowers. The delivery driver approached him curiously and asked, ‘Sir, why are you buying flowers here?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘I heard they specialize in special occasions!’ And off he went, whistling a merry tune.
2. One day, while a dental hygienist was deep in conversation with her patient, she heard an odd clicking sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she turned around to see a delivery driver adjusting his toolkit with a peculiar smile on his face. As he adjusted his toolkit, she noticed something shiny—a tiny golden keychain shaped like a toothbrush. Smiling sheepishly, the delivery driver explained that it was for his daughter’s room. Turning back to her patient, she couldn’t help but laugh, realizing they’d both been distracted by the mundane yet charming details of everyday life.
3. A curious cat frequently sauntered into Periodontal Associates of North Florida during business hours. No one knew where it came from or why it kept returning. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an extra box of supplies. Curious as always, the cat pounced on it and emerged wearing a giant pair of dental gloves. For the rest of the morning, everyone in the office watched in amusement as the little feline waddled around, pretending to be a vet herself.
4. ‘Hey,’ said an anxious-looking man one afternoon, ‘is it normal for teeth cleaning to take so long?’ The hygienist smiled reassuringly. 'Actually,' she whispered conspiratorially, 'they’re not cleaning your teeth— they’re polishing your patience!' The man relaxed with a relieved laugh and settled in for what turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable experience.
