Pleated dental face masks are a great way to protect clinicians during dental procedures. These breathable face masks cover the clinician's mouth and nose with comfortable loops or ties that connect behind the ears or head. These single-use masks often feature an aluminum or other solid but bendable noseband to provide a secure connection that conforms to the clinician's facial features. Face masks can include attachable shields to protect the clinician's eyes as well. These masks prevent blood, saliva and other fluids or debris from entering a clinician's mouth or nose and should be worn during all dental procedures.
