Dentist Day


Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve: Happy Dentist Day...If You Dare!

While most folks might celebrate Dentist Day with a trip for a cleaning and a check-up, here at the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve, we take a slightly more fang-tastic approach. After all, good dental hygiene is important for everyone, even the creatures that go bump in the night!

Did you know that the legendary Jack-o'-Lantern, not just for carving pumpkins, but also for its surprising dental care routine? According to some folklore, Jack, trapped between the mortal world and the spirit world, used an ember from Hell to carve his now-famous grin. This ember, some say, imbued the pumpkin with strange properties, including the ability to ward off evil spirits and, perhaps most curiously, to repel tooth decay. The flickering flame is said to emit a special kind of light that strengthens tooth enamel and discourages the growth of cavity-causing bacteria.

Of course, Jack-o'-Lanterns are seasonal, and cryptids need year-round dental care. So what do they do? Well, that depends on the creature! Sasquatches are rumored to favor the sap of a particular evergreen tree, high in calcium and known for its antiseptic properties. Some lake monsters have been observed gnashing on rocks, which may seem odd, but grinding on a smooth stone can actually help clean teeth and remove plaque buildup.

Here at the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve, we take a more scientific approach. We've developed a special, all-natural, fluoride-free toothpaste made with ingredients specifically chosen to appeal to our resident cryptids' unique tastes and dietary needs. It's a monstrous mouthful, but it keeps those pearly whites sparkling!

So, this Dentist Day, while you might be scheduling your next cleaning, remember the creatures of the crypto-world who also value good dental hygiene. Just be careful about using their methods at home – we don't recommend trying to emulate a Sasquatch's tree-sap routine!
