Personalized Custom Dental Hygienist Shirt with Photo

The dental hygienist shirt that starts with a gap-toothed grin

This personalized custom design puts her own childhood photo, toned black and white, between DENTAL and HYGIENIST in tall antique gold letters. Order it as a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie. It’s the throwback photo tee that gets a laugh in the break room every single time.

Upload her kid photo

The sample face is a little girl with wavy hair, a giant grin and a toothbrush held up like a trophy. Send her school picture or any head-and-shoulders shot with a big smile in everyday clothes. Teeth showing is the whole joke, so the goofier the grin, the better.

Who usually orders one?

Often it’s the dentist or office manager, looking for something for National Dental Hygiene Month that isn’t a gift card. Just as often it’s her mom, who still has the album full of gap-toothed school pictures and knows exactly which one to send.

Her mom

You’re the one with the photo albums, so you can pick the goofiest first-grade grin and send it straight from your phone.

The dentist she works with

Her own face lands better in October than a gift card, since it shows you know her past the chairside small talk.

The office manager

Ordering one per hygienist means everyone gets her own little face in gold, which keeps a staff gift from feeling generic.

A hygiene school classmate

Graduation day is when everyone’s trading old photos anyway, and this turns one of hers into the present.

Her partner

You hear about plaque scores over dinner. Putting her kid photo on a hoodie tells her you were listening the whole time.

The hygienist herself

Casual Friday gets easier when the shirt starts the conversation with patients before she even picks up the mirror.

How do I send her childhood photo?

Select the hygienist’s garment and size.
Choose a shirt color.
Upload the kid photo. Old prints: shoot them flat in daylight.
No text needed. DENTAL and HYGIENIST are fixed.
Check out. Example: hoodie, size S, her first-grade school picture. The toothbrush sample is replaced with that photo between the two gold words.

What makes this better than another tooth pun shirt?

October gifts for hygienists usually mean tooth-shaped cookies and a lunch order
Tooth pun shirts all look like they came from one clip-art pack
Her funniest kid photos stay in an album nobody opens

People laugh hardest at a joke that is really about someone they know. Her childhood grin sits between DENTAL and HYGIENIST in tall antique gold, so the toothy school picture does the joking instead of a cartoon molar.

Please skip swim, bath or leotard pictures. A school portrait or a birthday photo works best.

Shipping

We print in the USA in 1 to 3 business days, and USPS delivers in 3 to 5 business days with tracking: about 4 to 8 business days total, with no guaranteed date. Ordering for October? Give yourself a couple of weeks.

See the shipping page.

Must I send a photo from when she was little?

No, any clear head-and-shoulders picture will print. A kid photo with a big toothy grin is what makes people laugh, though, so dig through the albums if you can.

Can the whole office order matching ones?

Yes. Add each hygienist as a separate cart item with her own childhood photo. Everyone gets DENTAL and HYGIENIST in gold, each with a different little face.

Can we put a cartoon tooth mascot next to her?

No. We print her photo and the two gold words only, so cartoon characters, logos, product brands and team marks are declined, along with photos of celebrities, rappers or other famous people. A hygienist order like that is canceled with a full refund.
