stack of light blue dental bibs. Here are some key features of dental bibs:

1. Absorbency: Dental bibs are made from highly absorbent materials, typically a combination of tissue paper and a thin plastic backing. This design helps to soak up fluids like saliva and water during dental procedures.
2. Waterproof Backing: The plastic backing prevents fluids from penetrating through to the patient’s clothing, ensuring they stay dry and comfortable.
3. Size and Coverage: Dental bibs are designed to cover a large area, usually the chest and neck, providing ample protection against spills and splatters.
4. Disposable: Most dental bibs are single-use, which helps maintain hygiene and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
5. Comfort: The materials used are soft and comfortable for the patient, making the dental experience more pleasant.

These features make dental bibs an essential tool in dental practices for protecting both patients and dental professionals.
