Pelican tooth extractor,circa 1751
Pelican tooth extractor,made of steel with screw adjustment. These were an early type of dental forceps,so named due to their claw which was thought to resemble a pelican's beak. Tooth extraction is the earliest known dental procedure,it was used as a last-resort cure for toothache. Pelican extractors originated in the fourteenth century and by the 1500s they had become the most popular tool for tooth-drawing amongst barber surgeons and practitioners. No two alike,each Pelican extractor would have been individually designed to order. This example is continental and dates from around 1750
