This tool is used for pulling teeth, grabbing and holding things. Forceps are used when the operation area is very deep and the dentist has to use this tool to perform the desired work. Using forceps, the dentist holds the tooth and rotates it backwards and forwards as far as possible until the tooth is extracted. Basically, the dentist uses this tool to exert precise force on the root, and finally the tooth becomes loose enough that the dentist will be able to pull it out.
