INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSIGNIA / EMBLEM / LOGO:

The American Dental Association started using this insignia as the official symbol of dentistry in 1965. The emblem of dentistry is taken from Asclepius, a Greek god of medicine and healing. His symbol is a physician’s staff with a snake wrapped around it. The snake’s shedding of skin represented healing and rejuvenation. In honor of Asclepius, ancient Greeks would use non-venomous snakes in healing rituals and let them crawl freely on the floor among the sick and injured.

On the periphery of the emblem, you will notice two Greek letters, Delta ( Δ ) and Omicron ( Ο ). Delta represents dentistry, and Omicron is a symbol for odont, or tooth. The word “Dentistry” is inscribed upon the bottom half of the circle.

The interior of the circle is a particular shade of purple called lilac, which dates back to the National Association of Dental Faculties in 1897. To this day, dental graduates use purple in their gowns and caps, and the color is often found in dental publications.

In the center of the insignia there is snake coiled around a physician’s staff comes from Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine and healing.  Behind the snake there are two branches bearing 20 berries and 32 leaves representative of the permanent and temporary teeth.

Looking for absorbent stone coasters? Our stone coasters are extremely absorbent. They quickly absorb messy drips and condensation from beverages.

These customized stone coasters are perfect for use with beverages that are served in drinkware that "sweat". When cocktails, sodas, iced tea, water, etc. are served with ice in a regular glasses (non insulated glasses), they release condensation that drips down the outside of the glasses.

Our super absorbent stone coasters absorb the condensation into the coaster, before it has a chance to flow on to your furniture or table tops, thus preventing watermarks and blemishes.

These absorbent coasters also prevent your glasses from "sticking" to the coaster; thus preventing the coaster from coming up & off the table with your drink and then falling.

Each of the coaster has a non-slip cork backing to help prevent slipping and scratching.

At YouCustomizeIt.com, you can put any design on the coasters. You can upload your own design, photo or logo; you can customize one of our designs and customize the patterns, colors, fonts etc.

By default, the 4 coasters all have the same design on them, however, you can change that and have a different design on each one of the 4 coasters. The choice is yours.

The blank coasters are imported; the designs and printing are done in the USA.
