"So, have you ever wondered what scrubs are for a dental assistant? Well, my name's Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I'm going to basically show you pretty much what scrubs are. I'm actually wearing a set of scrubs right now. They are great high durable material. They allow you to move freely in them. They're mainly professional; doctors, assistants, hygienists, nurses wear them. Therefore; they're not restricted while they're working on patients, especially being a dental assistant and a dentist. You have to be able to easily move around grabbing things, so you want to make sure that they're they're very loose fitting type clothings that you can easily throw on, and take off very easily if you need to in case you get like some saliva or debris on them. But I love, I personally love scrubs. It's like wearing my pajamas everyday to work. They're very comfortable. There's not, they're not really restricting at all, but you know scrubs are a great form of a uniform outfit. You can get them pretty much anywhere; in a uniform store, or even sometimes at you know other clothing stores. Sometimes they sell them. So once again, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I just showed you what scrubs are for a dental assistant."
