Saint Apollonia

Saint Apollonia is the patron saint of dentists and those suffering from dental pain. She lived in the 3rd century and is remembered for her faith and courage during a time of Christian persecution. According to tradition, she suffered torture, including the loss of her teeth, and remained committed to her faith. As a result, she became a symbol of resilience and protection against dental problems. Many people pray to her for relief from toothaches and dental health issues, and she’s often depicted holding a tooth or her damaged mouth.
