Tooth Elevator

Artifact Overview
Domestic horses require frequent dental maintenance to file down a tooth's sharp edges and prevent infections. Occasionally, however, a horse's tooth needs to be removed. This dental elevator helps veterinarians lift an infected tooth, making it easier to grasp with forceps to extract it.
