Each year, the People’s Republic of China sets aside September 20th to celebrate “Love Your Teeth Day”. Love Your Teeth Day has been considered a National Holiday since it began in 1989. Its purpose is to promote dental hygiene and increase awareness of oral health throughout the country; it has been very successful and is considered to be an extremely pioneering health programme in the field of Chinese Dentistry.
The ancient Chinese used to believe that painful teeth contained a toothworm and, in the hope of a cure, they would wrap parchment around their painful teeth containing written incantations and prayers.
