JUNE 1: Dare Day
The day of challenging someone, or to do a dare on your own! Some ideas: Use a stereoscope on a new patient's cheek and say you can "hear the cavities." Raise the dental chair up as high as it will go, tip it all the way back and then leave the room. See how long it takes for the patient to yell … or fall.
JUNE 4: Hug Your Cat Day
Because nothing says "love" like the neurotic fear you have when you try to embrace a creature that tries to claw your eyes out half the time. Good luck!
JUNE 9: Donald Duck Day
Members of the practice must hold their nose when they speak. The best Donald Duck impersonator gets a prize. Unless it's you, doc: You're always a quack. (Also, did anyone else ever notice that Donald bothers to wear a shirt but never any pants?)
JUNE 17: National Hollerin' Contest Day
This gem of a day started in Spivey's Corner, North Carolina. Never heard of it? Probably because it only has about 50 people living there. But on one day a year, thousands of people descend on the town to compete in a contest based on yelling and screaming as loud as possible. Nominate someone from your office to go represent!
JUNE 18: National Splurge Day
Perhaps one of the more American unofficial holidays. This day is all about going out there and buying something excessive—something you'd normally never buy for yourself. And if we know dentists, we know exactly what you need. Go buy yourself some new underwear. But look for the value pack. You deserve it.
JUNE 28: Insurance Awareness Day
Don't worry. We're aware of it every day, thanks.
