Tooth Extraction and Extraction Tools

I don’t know a heck of a lot about dentistry, but I do know a few of the names of the extraction tools used (both back in the 1830s and today), and they’re excellent:

  • Greyhound
  • Cow horns
  • Bayonet
  • Root
  • Elevators [I know, I know, but still can’t help but see a lift in someone’s mouth, rather than a tool meant to elevate a tooth]
