description

The dentist has a set - a minimum of ten - of forceps to extract the teeth. The direction of the mouth, its opening width and the shape of the jaws are each adapted to specific teeth. There are pliers for the upper and for the lower teeth, for the left and for the right teeth, for the incisors and canines, for the molars and for the wisdom teeth. [MOT]
