Birmingham dentistry show 2025: Scrubs, stilt walkers & the tooth fairy – only in Dentistry!
Giant elephants? Sparkly scrubs? Oh yes – it all happened at this year’s Dentistry Show in Birmingham.
We came. We scrubbed. We turned heads. From our bestselling Koi Cureology scrubs to new colours like khaki and grape (with tiny tooth embroidery!), this year’s show was packed with bold looks, bright smiles and serious scrubs envy.
From Dublin to Birmingham: tech troubles & sky-high snacks
After touching down in Birmingham, we rolled our scrub-stuffed suitcases through the city and straight to the NEC. Set-up started smoothly – until the Wi-Fi said no.
Cue Oisín, our tech wizard, who saved the day with some clever troubleshooting and probably a bit of magic.
Crisis averted, we celebrated at the Sky Bar with views, cocktails and just a tiny bit of pre-show excitement. 😉
Day 1 – Scrub goals, circus vibes & tooth chic
We didn’t just show up – we showed off. Our Grape and Khaki dental scrubs, decked out with embroidered teeth, turned plenty of heads. Spoiler alert: dentists love a fun scrub.
By 9 AM the doors flew open – and so did the compliments.
From long-time Happythreads fans (one dentist’s scrubs have lasted 12 years!) to new visitors falling in love with Koi Cureology and Koi Next Gen fabrics – our stand was buzzing.
And the scene-stealer of the day? Not just the giant elephant or fearless stilt walkers – but the our fabulous Tooth Princess embroidery in full fairytale style. 🦷👑
Close runner-up? Party Tooth. 🎉🦷 (Both of these – and more – are available as stock embroidery logos for your scrubs!)
We wrapped up the day with enchiladas, spicy margaritas and some serious sunset appreciation at Las Iguanas.
Day 2 – Pink scrubs, fresh cookies & all the colours
Saturday brought serious snack energy. Picture popcorn machines, free drink, and cookies still warm from the oven. Dentists, you know how to party. 😏
Meanwhile, our scrubs were still stealing the show. Bold colours like Azalea Pink and Caribbean Blue drew the crowds – and the compliments.

The final verdict? BDA 2025 was a scrub-tacular success!
Over 1000 of you entered our scrubs giveaway. We had amazing chats, met inspiring professionals, and confirmed what we’ve always known: comfort and confidence belong in every dental uniform.
We’re proud to create scrubs for dentists, hygienists and dental assistants that bring serious style to the surgery.
