Coronavirus impact on dental practices: How one PPE company blends philanthropy and innovation (Video)

June 4, 2020
Are you burning up while your coworker is freezing at work? There's a solution for this ongoing battle in the form of temperature-regulated, antimicrobial uniforms. Are they right for you?

The number one conflict among team members is the office temperature. Debora Carrier, RDH, founder and CEO of Twice as Nice Uniforms, reflected on the many times she’d had this battle with her peers, and she did something about it. The temperature-regulated and antimicrobial fabric of the uniforms from Twice as Nice was an immediate hit with dental office employees.

Then the pandemic came along, and like most dental-related businesses, things slowed down for Twice as Nice. But Carrier says she was receiving many calls about masks. Her manufacturer was able to turn some masks around pretty quickly, and the company donated them to people who needed them and weren’t able to find them.

Like the uniforms, the interior of the new masks from Twice as Nice, which are now available to all, are made of the same temperature-regulated, antimicrobial, and moisture wicking material. Find out what else Carrier shares with Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz and whether a Twice as Nice uniform is right for you.
