Product overview
Paediatric extraction forceps: sizing and patterns.
Primary teeth are smaller than permanent teeth, so adult forceps are often too large for them. Paediatric extraction forceps use the same logic as adult patterns, with beaks shaped for a tooth group, but at a smaller scale and with shorter handles that suit a child's mouth.
Patterns are usually listed for upper and lower incisors and canines, molars and roots. Catalogue numbering differs between American and English systems, so we work from your reference piece, drawing or catalogue number. Forceps can be bought singly or in a paediatric extraction forceps set. For permanent teeth, see dental extraction forceps.
