scrubs =)

Ask the dentist. I wore jeans, sneakers, and a scrubs top.

scrubs... unless you dont plan on getting your hands dirty...

for all of my shadowing experiences i've either worn a button up shirt and slacks, or scrubs...when i wore scrubs the dentist seemed much more willing to let me assist with certain aspects of the procedure, so i'd recommend scrubs if you have them. if not, they will most likely offer you a robe or some cover up over your clothing.

ive never worn scrubs to shadow and have always worn button up and slacks ... when asking to shadow also ask about attire.

I'm pretty sure anything respectable would work

definitely wear scrubs. if u wear jeans the patients will be wondering who the hell u are standing behind the dentist and looking.

 

[cherr1pop]

yea.. even if your dentist doesnt mind the patients are less suspicious of you if you're in scrubs.. 🙄

2:30pm is my scheduled time for shadowing my gen. dent. on a crown. He only wants me to come in on the big procedures, even though I am more inclined to see how the office operates, but maybe there will be more time for that later. I plan on wearing slacks, shirt, & tie, as with bringing a set of these cool black scrubs i got from my buddy that's an RN.

shirt and tie might be a little overboard...

my dentist told me not to where jeans, and have closed toe shoes. that's about it.

i wore slacks and a tucked in polo.

That sounds like a good bet to me. Scrubs would be the best, and other than that it will vary a bit by the style of office. Business casual, I would say, is a good bet all around

Go nude... I find that its a good ice breaker

I asked what the proper attire was when I asked if I could shadow, they all want different things.
