oralcare

nice photoshop job.

Do not like it.
It's a generic image that could be advertising anything at all.

Agree with plugz. Immediately reminded me of The Matrix's Neo in the interrogation room.

Very, very creepy.

the solution to oral problems is to remove the mouth?

the idea behind this ad is that due to oral problem sometime a person thinks to remove his mouth to prevent oral problem. That was the reason thats why I removed mouth.

You need a tag or a headline to make this image really work as an ad. I can still see her mouth (where you rubber stamped it out). Is that intentional?

Powerpoint is not a design application

I think the image lacks the professional finish. The area where the mouth should be seems just cut off and pasted over. May I suggest to paint in skin that has the same surface as similar areas of the face (upper and lower cheeks, bridge of the nose and below the nose.) to completely eradicate the mouth. If you want to have the face look like the person actually scraped or removed the mouth I would suggest to show it in the face (hand with tool, scars (healed), etc.). That would take the 'story of the image further and explain the image.

You know what? I've had lots of dental problems. I've got something like six or seven crowns. I have TMJ, so I have to wear a custom-made night guard when my husband isn't looking.

When I was a kid, my mother took me to a sadistic dentist who used to drill teeny holes in my tooth enamel to start cavities, of which (unsurprisingly) I always had plenty; thus, many years later, the crowns. (He said he was just "cleaning up this little spot here..." and what did I know? I was a kid.)

When I was about 18, all in the same afternoon, this same sadist removed three wisdom teeth, one of which was impacted, without any pain-killer of any kind, not even novocaine. When I asked if he could give me something, anything, he waved a huge hypo in front of me and sneered, "You want THIS?" My mother used to sit out in the waiting room flipping through Ladies Home Journal, blissfully unaware of all my whimpering, convinced she was taking her little girl to the best dentist in town. She wouldn't have known, personally, because she never went to one herself, and eventually lost all her teeth as a result, but that's another story.

And not once -- no, not ever -- did I even THINK about removing my mouth as a solution to these "oral problems." Oh, when I got hip to what was going on, I briefly considered removing my mother, but she made really good lentil soup, so, you know.

I'm assuming that by now, Karmic Law has taken care of the dentist.

Just sayin'.

It's the little girl from the Silent Hill movie poster, all grown up.
