Dentists will torture you for free on Christmas Eve

Surely your list of fun things to do on Christmas Eve does not include having a pointy metal object shoved in your mouth and scraped against the surface of your teeth. But last year, more than 3,000 people showed up to Comfort Dental offices in five states to have a turn in the dentist’s chair on the day before Christmas. Why?

It was free. As company Founder and President Dr. Rick Kushner said in a press release, “We’re dentists, so we give away dental services for the holidays.” Comfort Dental has done this every Christmas Eve, aka Care Day, since 1984.
