Reader Comments:
” Maybe this day celebrates the feast day of St Apollonia (d. 249). Apollonia is the patroness of dentists, and people suffering from toothache and other dental diseases often ask her intercession. She is pictured with a pair of pincers holding a tooth or with a golden tooth suspended from her necklace.” .. Josephine
