Dear Rose,
*Joke* Perhaps, why there is not much resource in a dentist's waiting room is a real human issue.
As all Feng Shui practitioners are (human - flesh and blood); I can say for myself, I dread going to a dentist myself! Erh.. can I excuse myself from this topic:(
Jokes aside, Feng Shui can be applied in a dental clinic. I will try to recollect some of the important points for you:
1. Clinic Logo
You can mention that often, the investor (often the dentist himself) sets up his/her own practise. For the purpose of this message, when I refer to his / him (I am refering to him or her) else I may inadvertently anger ladies listening in!.
A dentist may consult a geomancer to look at his Ba Zi (Heaven Luck) or Pillars of Destiny. After doing the colour scheme and design can be selected.
For example, if for a single dentist: and say if he is a weak wood person; under the Five elements concept, water helps or support weak wood. Thus, his business logo can contain e.g. wavy pattern or blue (black).
2. Yin and Yang Concept
Yang refers to masculine, cold etc.. while yin soft, and warm.
You should try to look at resources pertaining to Yin and Yang concept.
For example, when one has a heart attack (e.g. yang activity); we go to a yin place such as a hospital to recover.
Since many of us percieve or view clinics to be cold, some hospitals often try to give a more warmth environment.
For example, some of the local hospitals in my country go for a more humane or warmer colour dress for the nurse.
Here, the Singapore General Hospital and the Catholic Mount Alvernia hospital go for green tones for their nurses, and senior nurses.
Thus, you could perhaps mention that a dental clinic, could perhaps, try to apply colours to the uniform of their nursing assistant instead of simply wearing white. Which many of us, have grown and `feared' most since white is one of the earlest colours for nurse wear.
A bouquet of flower or plants in such a clinic, brings more warmth into a rather `cold' waiting room.
Another area is perhaps: pipe in music.
You could perhaps elaborate that soothing music e.g. classical or latin or any other soothing music be placed. Alternatively, tuning into a popular `lively' music station can help to `calm the savage soul'.
3. Do research more into this three Luck areas:
3.1 Tien Cai (Heaven Luck)
I have briefly elaborated - company logo based on this area.
3.2 De Cai (Feng Shui)
You can perhaps elaborate or try to research more on Xuan Kong Feng Shui or Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. For example, it can be used to look into the placement of the reception area etc.
3.3 Ren Cai (Human luck)
As mentioned above, music and even TV screens can help ease the customer's mind. And, encourage long term, visits by clients.
Frankly, there can be many, more examples.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
