Do dentists have to work on holidays?

The answer is: it depends

Dentists are not required to work on holidays, but some may choose to do so in order to accommodate patients who have emergencies or who are unable to come in during regular business hours.

Some dentists also offer holiday hours as a convenience to their patients. In these cases, dentists will typically charge a higher fee for their services.

Additionally, some dentists may be required to work on holidays if they are employed by a hospital or other medical facility that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
