Inside a creepy abandoned dental office, littered with teeth, needles and pliers – and why the owners had suddenly abandoned it
AN ABANDONED dental office, littered with teeth, needles and pliers, has remained frozen in time.
Located in Georgia, USthe creepy practice has rotted away since its owners fled from a natural disaster that flooded his insides.
After remaining untouched for 20 years after residents “locked the door and never came back”, the building is covered in dust and cobwebs.
Perhaps the most disturbing element, however, is the stark display of casts from customers’ mouths, where these are missing teeth Sit next to a large, rusted pair of tongs.
Next to it are huge needles and denture powder, while behind them is a yellow box with film-coated painkillers.
In another room are photos of abandoned toothbrushes, mouthwash and stickers for children who practiced good oral hygiene.
The dentistry was discovered by urban traveler Leland Kent, who bravely set foot inside the creepy building and took photos of its rain-soaked interior.
For decades the family-run dentist was the center of the rural community, but inches of water from the floods ensured no one would ever return.
Leland, known to fans online as Abandoned Southeast, gave a startling account of what it was like to trudge through the rotting practice.
“It felt surreal, like everyone went home one day and never came back,” he said Mirror.
“You can feel the sagging carpet and weak floor from the flood when you walk.”
He added: “You can see the visible waterline on the inside which serves as a reminder of why the office is closed.”
A collection of antique machinery also caught the explorer’s attention as he marveled at the vintage chairs and equipment.
“I think the most interesting things are the vintage dental chairs and the X-ray machine in the hallway. I’m surprised that so much is still left years later,” he said.
He continued: “I enjoy discovering what is left behind in these old structures.
“It is fascinating to see how these small family businesses once functioned.”
Elsewhere, another urban explorer has discovered an abandoned ghost town – with a church, a post office and several houses all rotting.
The eerie, abandoned community once housed hundreds of people, but is now slowly decaying and the buildings are falling apart.
