Today is Receptionists Day, National Third-shift Workers Day and — we’re not making this up — Root Canal Appreciation Day.  So, make sure you carve out time from your busy day today to appreciate all three of these fine American institutions.

Earlier today, the Blawg received a personal message from Dr. Chris Kammer (click the link and scroll down to the “Comments” Section), creator of Root Canal Appreciation Day.  He says he created the day to “try and hit a home run for the image of the much maligned root canal that has no voice of its own but saves 37 million teeth every year.”  As the proud owner of two root canals myself, I heartily echo Dr. Kammer’s sentiments and encourage all of you to visit your local dentist this afternoon and undergo the procedure to show your support.
