There's also another dental office in the old turn-of-the-century "cottages" across the complex with a full set-up, chair and all. The equipment in the old one appears to date back to the forties.
I hate modern dental equipment, forget the old stuff, with the shot of whiskey for a numbing agent
where can ti be found?
what building is the Dentist office located?"
This one is on the second floor of N-10, the rear-most building closest to Bensalem.
There's another one in the infirmary building, C-14, in the *old* section of Byberry.
what is the old part of byberry?.......r they the old buildings that got knoked down?
The old section of Byberry are all of the buildings with sloped slate roofs. The newrr ones all have flat roofs and an institutional feel. The slate-roofs appear to almost replicate alpine cottages.
yeah id probably say the most dangerous place... we were in the administration building right in front of the trailers, and my friend stepped onto what i think is dry wall floor and her foot fell through... scary time...
some say in this dentist station they would yank your teeth out on contact!!!!!!!!!
Had a cleaning here once.
I hate dentists. Period. Nuff said.
its dark as shit in that room
AFLAC!
AFLAC!!! WHERE'S THE DUCK!?
Just surfed into the site...My father was a doctor at the Philadelphia State Hospital, that's what we called it, and he used to take us to the dentist there when I was a child. Believe it or not! Actually the dentist was a very nice guy and used to make little plaster turtles from a mold to give out. He also used to give me mercury amalgum to play with, which turns out wasn't such a great idea. The dental set up in the photo looks very stangely familiar...although I assume the office I went to was in the old, C-14 building. I live in CA now and it is VERY strange to me that there are people who risk their life and limb exploring these old buildings. I don't mean to be harsh, but I think your time would be better spent visiting the elderly in nursing homes or volunteering to help people in need.
OOooh! And what is more creapy is that the damn DUCK that shouts "AFLAAAAK!!!" has also been there! lol
DUM-DUM
