National Dentist Day celebrates the dentists everywhere who keep our teeth healthy. It was established as a way to show appreciation and thanks for dentists. Celebrating National Dentist Day on March 6th each year also encourages people to call their dentist for a checkup who may have avoided going to the dentist.

My dentist, Dr. Alikpala in Arlington, is caring and knowledgeable. She always makes sure I’m comfortable, explains the procedure, and makes sure I don’t have any questions about the treatment plan. She takes the time to show you pictures of your teeth and why she recommends a certain procedure. The dental office staff is friendly and even with a simple little filling, I will get a call later that day to make sure I’m okay. Dr. Alikpala and her team are fantastic.
