A carrying case for a dental head includes a container sized to receive the dental head, a cover member connected to the container, and a socket mounted in the container. The cover member pivots between an open position and a closed position. The socket is adapted to receive a connector attached to the dental head and the case is preferably shaped to simulate a human torso. A handle is provided for carrying the case. Alternatively, straps connected to recessed clips may be used to carry the case.
