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.

Since face masks are our reality for the next few months (the CDC recommends wearing cloth face covering to help slow the spread of COVID-19, have a little fun and design a mask that reflects your personal style and who you are. It can be corny, funny, classy or even have a logo across the front to represent your business! You can have matching masks for the whole family with our kids face masks.

Our cloth face masks are available in 2 two adult sizes standard and extra large. We also have kids face masks available in two sizes - extra small and standard.

The standard size will fit teens, women & men with smaller faces. Men with large faces and/or facial hair should purchase the extra large. The standard size mask measures 4 inches tall by 7 inches wide, while the large measures 4.8 inches tall by 7.75 inches wide.
