Sooner or later, most people have to resort to the services of a dentist. And if it comes to prosthetics, then you can’t do without the participation of a dental technician. By the way, do you know what kind of specialist this is? And when is Tech Day celebrated?
Important profession
When we hear the phrase “dental technician”, we perceive it as a synonym for a dentist or dentist, as if it were a wording that came from the past. Many believe that this is a common expression that came to our vocabulary from deaf villages, where there were still healers, doctors, midwives and dentists.
There is a lie and a truth in such a view. The truth is that at the beginning of the nineteenth century the first official title appeared for doctors saving people from toothache - a dentist (in common with a dental technician, right?). And this doctor did all the work himself, only the most successful could afford an assistant.
However, a dentist is a doctor who examines, diagnoses, treats, and even removes teeth, and a dental technician makes dentures in the laboratory.
It turns out that the work of a dental technician is a completely unique occupation. His work requires high attention, accuracy and accuracy in actions, as well as a creative streak. Representatives of this profession have deserved their separate holiday - Day of the dental technician.
Holiday dates
So, we figured out that there are several professions related to dental treatment. Moreover, each of them has its own holiday in the year.
Dentists are honored on February 9th, dentists on March 6th, and on July 25th dental technicians celebrate the holiday.
Unfortunately, only they themselves know this date, and even that, probably, is not all. The reason for this sad fact is most likely that the work itself is not public, and few people even know about the existence of such a profession, or rather, about the intricacies of the wording.
Technology day - mid-summer - time for summer cottages and vacations, and there is no one to arrange lush festivities and festivities, even students are already on vacation. So they note - modestly, in the family circle, the maximum - in a friendly team of colleagues.
About outstanding techniques
One cannot help but talk about that cohort of people for which Technological Day is not just a date, but a personal holiday. It is celebrated as a birthday - a day when a socially active and significant person appears, a person with a successful, interesting future.
This cohort is hard of hearing and deaf dental techniques. We all understand that it is not easy for people with this ailment to find their own path in life, a business that will not only bring joy to the soul, but also can provide material support in life. However, at the end of the eighties of the last century, deaf and hard of hearing dental technicians and laboratory assistants who successfully work in official and private clinics now began to be trained in various educational institutions of Russia.
This profession gave them a chance for a full-fledged social life, the opportunity to communicate, build relationships, be independent, including financially.
Therefore, Technology Day for them is almost the main holiday in life.
