Day of the dentist

The tradition to celebrate International Dentist Day came to our country not so long ago. It is possible that many do not even know that there is such a professional holiday. Ask the first counter: "When is the day of the dentist?" Surely, the person will be embarrassed and will not be able to answer for sure. And it is very insulting.

After all, you can live a lifetime and never turn to a criminal investigation or never use Aeroflot's services in your life. But to never enter the dental office, it is hardly possible. Therefore, everyone and everyone should know that it is on February 9 that the whole world celebrates the professional holiday of doctors making our smile beautiful.

And why was it decided to celebrate the day of the dentist on February 9? In order to answer this question, you need to look into the history of the holiday. It turns out that the day of February 9 is also the day of the holy martyr of Apollonia. According to the legend, this saint, who lived in the third century of our era, was tortured for believing in Christ. On February 9, it was burned. The attributes of this great martyr are the tongs and teeth. There is a belief that the name of Apollonia, uttered aloud, can save the patient from a toothache. As far as this statement is true, it's not for us to judge.

By the way, it should also be noted that during excavations in Pakistan archaeologists have already found human remains older than 7 thousand years old, in which molars had holes made by a human hand. These finds indicate that the profession of the dentist was born a long time ago. So how can anyone doubt that the appearance of such a holiday as the day of a dentist was not due to the importance and antiquity of this profession?

Like any other professional holiday, this day is celebrated inside the work collective. Often after work, employees of polyclinics or other medical institutions arrange "merry-go-rounds" for "birthday people", during which dentists are given original gifts. You can offer a miniature scenario for such a corporate.

Begin the day of the dentist with a humorous performance of a "dummy" dentist. For this role, an employee of a large physique is suitable, he must have a drill and large forceps in his hands. To enhance the effect, you can take a gas key. "The mummified" in the course of reading his monologue should make "terrible" grimaces. You can include in the scene the role of "mime" depicting a frightened, fearful patient

Without fights and scandals, amicably

Sit all in anticipation.

Do not yell,

Now no wailing will help.

Who is first? Come on, buddy!

On the armchair zalaz is bolder,

Sound your mouth silently.

Come on, look more fun!

Picking in the mouth, the conclusion I make,

I started the oral cavity you!

I'll stop all the holes ...

Do not flinch, do not bother you!

If he had eaten less sweets,

Yes, more often would pick up a brush,

Today I would not listen to the howls,

And I would dance on the stage tap dancing.

Or on the beach, I would lie down,

I enjoyed nature's beauty,

I would treat myself to a ripe watermelon ...

I would not fuss around here with you!

But - what is done, then all right!

Gather, pray - God is with you!

I also need to earn the identity.

On a piece of bread ... with roe.

At the end of the performance, the "dentist" -artist can give his dentist his tools. At this point, other employees with their offerings can join the process. It's good when gifts are original. For example, it could be a super-mega-toothbrush. Of course, such a gift is perceived solely as a souvenir. Therefore, it will not be inappropriate on the day of the dentist to give the doctor "birthday" and the necessary items.

Many men like things like mini-golf or a desktop globe-bar, a case with a picnic set or electronic cigarettes. It is more pleasant for women to receive as a gift an original casket or an ornament from gold. By the way, the last gift can be ironically beat: a chain with a pendant is made in the old traditions of dental gold of once grateful patients, to whom it has already become unnecessary. Although such jokes are only suitable for people with a good sense of humor and in the company of close people.
