March 18th: The Busiest Day in Dentisty!

This is pretty funny…mostly because Dr. Ryan is working and on call on March 18th this year…

On St. Patrick’s Day the biggest winners in America will be dentists.

It might not come as a surprise that people get drunk and get their teeth knocked out. And yes, the data do in fact support that claim.

Data from 2008-15 suggest that in the day after St. Patrick’s, there is a 77 percent jump in emergency visits to the dentist. And in fact, it’s almost identical between men and women. Women (between ages 30 and 65) see a 77.4 percent increase in emergency dental visits. And men (again, 30-65 years old) see an increase of 78 percent.

The data come from Sikka Software, which provides applications and tools to more than 10,000 dental practices across the country. As a result, it knows exactly when and where — and why — Americans visit the dentist. -Copied from CNBC Website
