1955 Dental

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly one day, saying ‘Grandma, look! The teeth are talking!’ Everyone looked up and saw that on the old sign outside the 1955 Dental office, the letters were moving ever so slightly in the breeze. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started flocking to see the talking teeth for themselves. One particularly curious delivery driver even brought his baby daughter along, who giggled and clapped every time she saw the sign sway. To this day, locals still joke that if you whisper your dental problems near the office, they might just get fixed overnight—by the windy letters themselves.

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside the old 1955 Dental building late one afternoon. He noticed something strange: the sign above the door seemed to wink at him as he parked his truck. Curious, he got out and peered closer—sure enough, the neon teeth on the sign were blinking in time with each other. A regular chuckled from behind him. ‘Thought that thing was broken,’ he said. The delivery driver turned around, only to realize it was his own reflection in a nearby window. Embarrassed laughter filled the air.

3. A curious neighbor stopped by one morning and asked, 'Do you ever wonder why the clock in that old dental office never moves?' The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Why, it’s because time stands still for those who sit too long on our dentist’s chair!’ A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, “That explains a lot—everyone here always leaves with a big smile!”

4. A young mother was settling her son in for a routine checkup when she noticed something odd. As they waited in the quiet hallway of 1955 Dental, her child pointed towards an old poster on the wall, whispering excitedly: "Mommy, what’s that funny-looking chair?" The mother leaned closer and saw it too—a strange contraption resembling a spaceship from an old sci-fi movie. Smiling, she whispered back, ‘That’s just our friendly dentist’s special chair for very good boys and girls.’ Her son nodded confidently, already forgetting his earlier concern. Later, as they left, the delivery driver joked with the receptionist, ‘Guess I’ll never be getting my teeth cleaned here—those chairs give me motion sickness!’
