The tradition of celebrating International Dentists 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 comer: “When is the day of the dentist?” Surely, a person will be embarrassed and will not be able to answer for sure. And this is very disappointing.
After all, you can live your whole life and never go to the criminal investigation department or never in your life use the services of Aeroflot. But in order not to enter the dental office once, this is hardly possible. Therefore, everyone and everyone should know that on February 9 the whole world celebrates the professional holiday of doctors who make our smile beautiful.
And why was it decided to celebrate the day of the dentist on February 9th? 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 Appolonia. According to legend, this saint, who lived in the third century AD, was tortured for believing in Christ. On February 9, they burned her. The attributes of this great martyr are considered tongs and teeth. There is a belief that the name of Apollonia, spoken aloud, can save the patient from toothache. It is not for us to judge how true this statement is.
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, which had holes made in the molars by a human hand. These findings suggest that the profession of dentist originated a very long time ago. So how can anyone doubt that the appearance of such a holiday as the day of the dentist was not due to the importance and antiquity of this profession?
Like any other professional holiday, this day is celebrated within the work collective. Often after work, employees of polyclinics or other medical facilities arrange cheerful “skits” for “birthday people” during which original gifts are given to dentists. You can offer a miniature scenario for such a corporate party.
The dentist’s day begins with a humorous performance by the “disguised” dentist. An employee of a large physique is suitable for this role, he must have a drill and large tongs in his hands. To enhance the effect, you can take a gas key. The "mummer" in the course of reading his monologue should make "scary" grimaces. You can include in the scene the role of "mime", depicting a frightened, trembling with fear patient
Without fights and scandals, together
Sit all waiting.
No need to yell strained
Now moaning will not help.
Who is first? Come on, my friend!
Climb bolder on a chair,
Silently bark your mouth.
Come on, look more fun!
Poking around in my mouth, I conclude
You launched the oral cavity!
I’ll patch all the holes for you ...
Don’t flinch, don’t you shit!
If I ate less sweets,
Yes, I would often pick up a brush,
I wouldn’t listen to screams today
A tap dance would have danced on stage.
Ile on the beach was lying upside down,
Enjoyed the beauty of nature
Would treat myself to a ripe watermelon ...
I would not bother here with you!
But - what’s done is all right!
Get together, pray - God be with you!
I also need to earn identity.
On a piece of bread ... with caviar.
At the end of the performance, the “dentist” -artist can present his tools to a real dentist. At this point, other employees can join the process with their offerings. It is 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 out of place on the day of the dentist to present the “birthday boy” doctor with necessary items.
Many men like things like minigolf or a table globe bar, a picnic case or electronic cigarettes. Women are more pleased to receive as a gift an original box or jewelry made of gold. By the way, the last gift can be ironically beaten: the chain with the pendant is made in the old traditions of dental gold from 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 loved ones.
