Are polo shirts appropriate for dental office staff?

Front desk, treatment coordinators, billing, office managers, yes. Hygienists and assistants in operatories wear scrubs because of OSHA bloodborne pathogen rules. Many practices put the front office team in branded polos so patients can tell who's clinical and who's administrative at a glance.

What fabric resists dental office wear (chemicals, frequent washing)?

Performance polyester. Disinfectant overspray and hand sanitizer are constant in dental offices, and polyester handles those without discoloring. Cotton tends to bleach out where chemicals hit it. If you're set on cotton for the look, expect to replace polos sooner.

Can we add staff names and credentials (DDS, RDH) to dental polos?

Yes. Dr. Smith, DDS or Sarah, RDH works. We can also do credentials only (RDH) on a sleeve if names rotate. Credentials in smaller text below the name is the typical layout.

What is the minimum order for a small dental practice?

20 pieces. A 6-10 person practice hits that with 2-3 polos per person, which is what most offices order anyway for laundry rotation. DSOs and multi-doc practices clear minimums easily.
