Tartar Removing Forceps 7″ Curved Beak | Vet Dental Instrument | SAG Surgical

Description

The tartar removing forceps 7″ with curved beak is a specialized dental instrument designed for the effective removal of heavy calculus and plaque from the teeth of dogs, cats, and other small animals . The SAG Surgical veterinary tartar removing forceps features a curved beak design that allows for easy removal of bulky tartar prior to scaling and polishing .

This tartar forceps is uniquely crafted with a cup-and-point or curved beak design, specifically intended for removing gross calculus accumulation . One jaw is cup-shaped to locate onto the tooth tip and act as a fulcrum, while the other jaw is a sharp hook to engage the tartar at the gum margin . The 7-inch (17.8cm) length provides optimal leverage for controlled calculus removal in larger dogs with substantial buildup.

The veterinary dental forceps feature a spring mechanism that helps prevent the use of excessive force and ensures better control during dental procedures . The special jaw shape of these tartar removing forceps minimizes the risk of tooth fracture . The spring-loaded design allows for comfortable, one-handed operation during extended dental prophylaxis sessions .

Tartar removing forceps are used in veterinary settings to remove gross calculus accumulation prior to ultrasonic scaling . They are typically used by placing one tip at the ridge of tartar near the gingiva and the other on the crown, applying careful, controlled force to fracture off the calculus mass . Care must be taken not to damage the tooth or the gingiva during this process .

Veterinary dental instruments are manufactured to the highest standards using premium stainless steel. This ensures that every tartar removing forceps maintains its precision and functionality even after repeated sterilization cycles. This veterinary tartar forceps is fully reusable and can be sterilized using moist heat or steam sterilization.

SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium tartar removing forceps that meet the demanding requirements of modern veterinary dental practice. Every tartar forceps undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.
