These days much like medical personal, those in the dental profession must wear dental scrubs as their standard uniform. Everyone in the dental office will wear these scrubs, usually even including the receptionist. Sometimes dental offices will provide scrubs all of one color or design or even with the dental offices name stitched on a logo design on the scrubs. If your office does not provide dental scrubs for you then you will need to find and provide your own. In addition to purchasing them you will need to know how to care for them to get the longest amount of life from them as they can be expensive.
For many dentists' offices, dental scrubs are really no different than medical scrubs and the two are interchangeable.
The only real difference comes in the designs on the fabric itself, as many dentists do often choose to put their own logo on their dental uniforms or perhaps the staff caters mostly to children and scrubs with a dental theme are preferred. Your dental scrubs should be loose fitting and comfortable giving you room to move around and work. Pay close attention to the type of material being used, many cheap scrubs are made of less than optimal materials and may be scratchy and uncomfortable. There are many brands of scrubs now that pride themselves on being made for comfort and durability. You can choose from uniforms that are 100% cotton or cotton blends, according to your preference, both have their advantages and disadvantages depending on your needs. Caring for your dental scrubs is not difficult; most of them are made for hard use in mind, and are wash and wear.
Because they are medical scrubs you will want to wash them in hot water to disinfect them and all scrubs are made knowing that they will need to be washed this way. Be sure to check the labels on your scrubs or on the website where you buy them for care instructions ahead of time so that you will know how much care they will take before you buy them. For many people one of the biggest concerns with dental scrubs is figuring out what to use to remove stains. Because of the type of work environment that you will use them in stains are bound to happen, and being able to effectively remove stains is important.
There are many good all around stain removers that will work on most average stains, but not all stain removers work equally well on every stain, so you will need to experiment to see which product will work best on the type of stains you are dealing with. There are several commercial products formulated for ink, crayon, or blood that you can try.
