With the horse sedated (and local anesthesia as needed), the gingival attachment is freed and the tooth is loosened with a dental elevator or luxator. Only then is a small extraction forceps used to grasp the crown and deliver the tooth, using gentle rotation and steady pressure rather than a hard pull. Because wolf teeth sit close to the palatine artery and their roots can be fragile, working slowly with the correct jaw angle helps remove the whole tooth cleanly. Equine dental procedures should be performed by a veterinarian or qualified equine dental practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquine veterinarians and equine dental technicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoutine dentistry in young and performance horses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compact, portable extraction kit for ambulatory work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDr. Tail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEQI24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 forceps + storage case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJaw Styles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight, curved, offset (bayonet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 inches each (approx. 17.8 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight per Forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 6 to 7 oz (170 to 200 g) each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet Weight (3 forceps)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 18 to 21 oz (1.1 to 1.3 lb \/ 0.51 to 0.60 kg), excluding case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCriss-cross knurled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the jaws thoroughly after each use, dry completely and lubricate the joints periodically.
