Dental Logos
Dental Logos are a graphic designer's dream! Think of all those available images: teeth, smiles, mouths, frothy bubbles and toothpaste, and tools. And no need for the "Do it Yourself" designer to worry about the clip art found in a Desktop Publishing program being used by a competitor. Why not? Think of how many Dental Logos you've seen and how many include pictures of teeth. Teeth and tools tell the viewer the logo represents dentistry but do they differentiate one dental practice from another?
Color and Graphics
There are plenty of things you can do with color and graphic enhancements to make your Dental Logo stand out from the rest. Colors used most frequently are white for smiles, and shades of red for mouths. If you want to be different, try different colors. To convey professionalism in their logos some include the medical image of a snake coiled around a staff. The abundance of available imagery means many Dental Logos end up looking cluttered and thus less functional. A logo that can't be enlarged or reduced without diminishing the message of the logo can't be used in as many places as one that can be reduced or enlarged. A good Dental Logo could be reproduced on a promotional shirt or hat as well as on letterhead or the web or in advertising and marketing materials.
Fear-Soothing Logos for the Dental Practice
Despite all those pictures of things associated with dental care, an image you'll never see in any Dental Logo anywhere is an image of a pair of pliers, or a drill. Why not? The answer is obvious: most people fear going to the Dentist. In fact, amongst medical practices, Dentists are the least popular. Some feel that logos that accentuate the positive aspects of dentistry -- bright white smiles and foamy, clean teeth -- ignore this basic fact. Dental practices and suppliers and anyone needing a Dental Logo who acknowledges this fear want logos that promote a calm and reassuring feeling. Think about this for a moment. The most frequent image appearing in Dental Logos is one of an extracted tooth with roots showing. If you are one of the many who have a morbid fear of having your teeth pulled, what does a logo that depicts exactly what you are deathly afraid tell you? How about, Stay Away! But it is possible to design logos that deal with this unhealthy fear.
Designing a Dental Logo
Dental logos can convey a sense of reassurance by substituting graphical enhancements like graceful curving lines and soothing fonts and colors. Curving lines can be configured in the shape of a smile or of a mouth, without reminding viewers that the teeth are ultimately going to be involved here. Eliminating the teeth and tool images and substituting the universal medical shield symbol -- a winged shaft with two snakes coiled around it facing each other -- goes a long way towards reminding viewers of the logo that Dentists are trained Medical Professionals. While Dental Logos may be some of the most difficult to design, it can be done and it can be done well. If you want to take the easier "Teeth and Smiles" way, it becomes easier. For a reassuring logo, consider hiring a professional design consultant. It will be worth the price.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Since I don't have dental insurance, and I don't want my parents to pay out-of-pocket, should I pull my molar?
I'm 21 and living alone in college.
Anyway, I had a root canal done on my front molar tooth 18 months ago, but I didn't get the crown put it.
Last night, the pain came back, and it was almost as if I could feel a pulse on that tooth, and it hurt : (
I took some Ibuprofen last night, and the pain only went away for 2 hours... I didn't get much sleep because of it
Is it worth just trying to get some pliers and painfully yanking it out?
What else can I do?
Answer:
Just because the tooth had a root canal does not mean it will not hurt when you try to take it out yourself. All teeth sit in a socket that is surrounded by live tissue. Only the root canal tooth is dead but everything else around it still has feeling.
You will also have another problem. Root canal teeth turn brittle over time. That means when you try to take it out, it will almost certainly break. Then what are you going to do??? It will be impossible to see to get the rest of it out.
I have found root canal teeth to be the hardest to extract because of the breakage problem. And when the pieces need to be removed, they are usually very difficult to take out, requiring a lot of digging. Think you can handle all that? If I found it extremely difficult, I can only imagine how it would be for someone who have absolutely no dental experience.
From what you say, it sounds like the tooth may already have fractured. Do yourself a favor and go to a dentist. The life you save may be your own.
