Having all staff wear scrubs is often a strategic tactic to communicate to patients a sense of professionalism that assists in building trust and aiding in the perception of cleanliness. Additionally, it is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirement that proper garments be worn in the dental office to ensure worker safety.
The majority of respondents to the dress code survey said requiring scrubs or some other version of practice-specific apparel simplifies things for staff. Other respondents indicated that a uniform program: helps to prevent inappropriate dress (50%); promotes team unity (57%); promotes the practice’s brand and image (44%).
Scrubs not only help identify dental team personnel as health care professionals, but can help keep staff safer by enabling them to change from street clothes to work clothes and to leave their scrubs at the office at the end of their shift in case they are stained during patient treatment.
