When is the dentist's day?

 World Dentist's Day.

National Dentist Day is celebrated on March 6 each year to honor the professionals who help us maintain a healthy, bright smile. 

Dentistry is one of the oldest medical professions in the world, dating back to 7000 B.C. in the Indus Valley civilization. Over the centuries, dentists have worked tirelessly to treat many oral problems, from tooth decay to gum disease to broken teeth.

However, dentistry did not become a tried and true profession until the 18th century, when French surgeon Pierre Fauchard published his book "The Surgeon Dentist, A Treatise on Teeth." Since then, dentistry has steadily evolved, and dentists can perform a wide range of procedures, from regular cleanings to dental implants.

National Dentists' Day is an opportunity to thank these professionals for their hard work and dedication. It is also an occasion to remember the importance of regular dental checkups and to encourage proper oral hygiene.

The first known person to work as a dentist was Hesy-Ra in Ancient Egypt around 2600 B.C. as a chief dentist to Pharaoh Djoser. Since then, dentistry has witnessed significant advances, such as the discovery of fluoride and the creation of local anesthetics to make patient procedures more comfortable.

Although dentistry has come a long way, much must be done. Poor oral health can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer. Therefore, it is essential to remember the importance of preventive dental care.

National Dentists Day is an opportunity to thank these professionals and remember the importance of caring for our dental health. There are many ways to show appreciation to dentists, such as sending thank you cards or showing your support on social media. Dental health is crucial to our overall well-being, and this holiday is an opportunity to raise awareness of its importance.
