These days, it seems like there’s a national holiday for almost everything. There’s even a national Make Your Bed Day. With so many national holidays out there, it only makes sense to use them to your advantage. At Absolute smile, we understand the importance of a good dental practice and we’ve compiled a list of the national holidays so that you can use them for your practice. 

When it comes to advertising and social media, all of these holidays can spell for some great marketing opportunities for your practice. With the right planning, you’ll have the chance to garner some excellent publicity and even have some fun while you’re at it. For example, you can create some catchy and fun content for your dental blog focused around specific holidays. You can even publish photos to grab attention and make your content more engaging.
