Saint Apollonia, please pray for me and my teeth this week. At age 23 I'm finally getting braces, and I am afraid of the pain this process will involve, as my particular case will need extractions and possible surgery on my jaw. Help me to confront the fear and pain, as you did in the face of persecution and torture. Calm my mind and heart and help me brace (no pun intended) against the discomfort and embarrassment, so that when this process is over, I might smile with purer joy and greater confidence than I have ever had in my smile. This I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Saint Apollonia I need your immediate interession on my behalf. Please go before the foot of Our Lord and beg for God's mercy on help with my teeth. I need you to help me save the loose tooth.

Our son has his first loose tooth, and I believe we will use St. Apollonia in place of the tooth fairy!
Saint Apollonia, please watch over me and help ease my pain.
Dear St. Appollonia,
I pray to you for help, since 2007 I have had problems with my tooth post a filing as the shape of it was altered and my bite. It has led to othe problems as you know, dentists wanted to work on other teeth rather than help me with that one now I cannot chew or close my mouth propertly and my teeth are very sensitive, please help me find a good dentist who will help me so that I may be able to live normally again and not feel the discomfort in my mouth. Someone ethical and compassionate and skilled. I thank you for your intercession. God bless you
St. Apollonia, you are the patron saint of dentistry and of gum and teeth problems, I humbly ask for your help today to help heal my teeth and gums. I cannot afford to go to the dentist but know that you can help me in my need. I thank you in advance for your kind help.

I chose Apollonia as my saint because:
1. I love the Name
2. I've been having some nasty toothaches
3. i am having braces and 4 of my teen pulled out
4. She sounds intresting and brave!
