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.

Tissue paper sheets have multiple uses.

Most of us are familiar with using tissue paper sheets in gifting & packaging. The following 3 are the most common uses:

1. The classic use for tissue paper sheets is to put inside of gift bags with part of the sheet(s) sticking out of the bag.
2. Tissue paper sheets with your company's logo can used for branding and packaging your products.
3. Tissue paper sheets can be used to wrap gifts (instead of wrapping paper) before putting the gift in a bag or a box.

Our tissue paper sheets are also perfect for decoupage i.e. the art of gluing paper on ordinary objects to decorate them.
