A multi-purpose dental bib, to be worn by a patient during a dental procedure, may incorporate gauze pads into windows and/or pockets integral to the bib. The multi-purpose dental bib may be employed to protect the patients clothing from liquid and/or solid debris generated during a dental procedure, and to wipe the patients face and mouth during or at the completion of a dental procedure. The multi-purpose dental bib may additionally be employed to clean dental tools, such as a dental mirror, during a dental procedure by means of the gauze pads incorporated into the windows and/or pockets strategically located on the multi-purpose dental bib.
