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]
Traité complet de l’anatomie de l’homme comprenant la medecine operatoire, par le docteur Marc Jean Bourgery. Illustration by Nicolas Henri Jacob, 1831.
