1. The tooth fairy

The tooth fairy is one of the most popular childhood legends. What does she do with all of those baby teeth she collects from underneath children's pillows? Nobody knows! Regardless, you can bring some fairy magic to your office or Halloween party with this classic costume.

2. A toothbrush

Hygienists are constantly reminding their patients to brush their teeth at least twice a day. You can really hammer home the point by showing up in this costume!

Available at Amazon.com.
 

 

3. Darla Sherman

"Fishy? Fishy! Wake up! WAKE UP!! Why are you sleeping?!" Who can forget this sweet yet terrifying character from “Finding Nemo”? Dress up as Darla and cross your fingers that her twin never shows up in your dental chair!

Available at Etsy.com.

 

4. Dental hygienist T-shirt

Hygienists are used to dealing with scary things - blood and saliva, bad breath and irritable patients, just to name a few. If you're immune to being scared, or you just prefer a low-key costume when it comes to Halloween, opt for a humorous T-shirt like this one instead.

Available at Amazon.com.

 

5. A tube of toothpaste

Are you a die-hard fan of a certain brand of toothpaste? Do you love to craft? If that sounds like you, then get your creative juices flowing and try your hand at making a DIY costume resembling your favorite tube of toothpaste.

6. Dental floss

Oh, floss. Loved by hygienists, yet hated by so many patients. Maybe dressing up as dental floss will finally motivate your patients to clean in between their teeth? Here's to wishful thinking!

7. Bloody dental patient

Every hygienist has most likely heard these six words from a patient, and each one knows when that patient is lying! Spook your friends, or your trick-or-treaters, with this bloody good costume.

8. A giant tooth

Most hygienists enjoy working on teeth, but if you want to take your passion up a notch, consider dressing up as a sparkling giant tooth this Halloween. Just be sure to stay away from any tooth fairies!

Available at Amazon.com.

 

9. Killer dentist

Many patients have a fear of the dentist. Dressing up as a crazed killer dentist probably won't help any of them overcome that fear, but hey, it'll make for a great Halloween costume!

Available at HalloweenExpress.com.

 

10. Orbit gum

Dirty mouth? Clean it up with Orbit White - and this costume. If you’re in need of a couples’ costume, this is a cute and simple DIY option.
