Tender Hugs

Tender Hugs is a dental office located at Tall Pines Shopping Mall. It meant for small children, and their mascot appears to be a small elephant named Peanut. Greg used to go to this dental office until Frank switched his dentist to Dr. Kagan, noting that Greg was getting way too old to be going to a place like Tender Hugs.

Part of the reason that Greg liked going to Tender Hugs was because he had a crush on a hygienist named Rachel. Greg also says that they are totally his type of operation, since they take a more relaxed approach to their patients.

In the original online version, the place is called Gentle Dental (and it's where Manny goes for dentist-appointments), and Greg doesn't go there, but wishes that he did—Greg has apparently tried convincing his mom to let him switch dentists, but she refuses.
