In this episode, I’m joined by two repeat guests, Drs. Jake Stucki and Scott Weiskopf, who are here for a discussion around every oral surgeon’s indispensable tool: forceps. In today’s episode, we take a virtual trip around the mouth and share which of the large variety of forceps we think are preferable for taking out each type of tooth, although it’s important to note that there are many different ways of doing things and what works for us might not work for you. We also have some valuable advice to share around how to avoid a root tip breaking, and even how you can prevent your patient from swallowing a tooth (speaking from experience!).
