4. Happy Teeth

5. Twice as Nice Uniforms

Twice as Nice Uniforms are truly revolutionary scrubs! Each uniform comes as a set – an outer uniform and a hidden, removable liner. It’s perfect for when the office is a little colder than normal! Bonus: they require no ironing. So, just throw them in the dryer, and you’re good to go!

About Twice as Nice:

For the last 5 years I have been dedicated to developing the very best temperature regulating, moisture wicking, antimicrobial uniforms. Twice as Nice uniforms are also stylish, long lasting, professional looking and protective for the wearer. When we feel good about our appearance, it reflects in our overall well-being. When you look good, you feel good! Your patients will recognize and appreciate the image that you project in a stylish, well-tailored, high quality uniform. In designing Twice as Nice Uniforms, I worked with a fit specialist and designed a scrub that is very flattering to all female body types, is comfortable and looks amazing!

As a dental hygienist, I needed a scrub that moved with me but retained its shape. I also needed temperature regulation. Did you know that the #1 conflict between the employees in medical and dental offices is the thermostat! Especially now we have employees that are burning up under their PPEs and other workers freezing in the same office. I know all too well what’s it’s like trying to treat patients with sweat running down my back or so layered up under my scrubs that I can’t move. Being too hot or too cold leads healthcare workers to not preforming their best which leads to patient treatment being compromised.

I love wearing my Twice as Nice Uniforms, and I feel amazing in them. And now, I am able to share them with you! I truly believe that my innovative design is a simple solution to an everyday problem. Please enjoy, stay comfortable, look professional, be great!
