The N95 is the Gold Standard for masks, since they have the tightest fit. These are what the hospital issues their staff. I can tell you they aren't real comfortable. A KN95 is good and will filter some things out, and the blue and white, like the dental office are better than nothing. (Retired RN)

@texaseve Since 2020 my family has been wearing 3M KN95 masks. The 3M brand KN95 mask is made of the same filter materials as their N95 mask, have head straps (not ear loops like some cheaper brands) and have the same fitting nose piece. For my narrow face the fit is better than the N95. My daughters who are nurses use exactly the same onesn includingat work where blue paper masks are all that are issued outside of sterile or infectious settings.
