Color

What color medical scrubs should dental assistants buy first?

Short answer. Whatever the dental chair assigns. If nothing is assigned, navy medical scrubs are the first buy for dental assistants — transferable, quiet, and hard to regret.

If you get to choose

Navy, dark navy, black, or grey. Add teal or burgundy after you have a week of navy you trust.
