The Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene has stringent clinical attire criteria which will be reviewed when you arrive for your first day of pre-clinic. In the meantime, here is some preliminary information regarding uniforms, shoes, and socks that you will need to purchase:
Scrubs and warm up jackets will be available for purchase online and/or through a local vendor, Uniforms for America located in Watertown, MA. Students can purchase approved scrubs (Cherokee Workwear brand ONLY) with designated color from other vendors or suppliers as well as Uniforms for America.
Scrubs (two sets: pant, top, and jacket) must be purchased by the end of the first week of school. Worcester students will purchase black colored scrubs. Further information regarding ordering scrubs will be provided to students before the beginning of the semester. In addition to scrubs, shoes and socks will also need to be purchased. Students are free to choose whatever style they wish as long as they fall within the following parameters.
- Shoes may be any color and should be ALL leather with a full heel/back (slip-ons or shoes with back straps are not acceptable). There should be NO nylon, mesh, cloth, or shoelaces on them.
- Socks must be high enough to cover exposed skin when clinician is seated. The color of socks is optional.
