Dental tweezers, also  sometimes referred to as cotton forceps, are instruments used in dentistry for grasping and manipulating small objects in the mouth.
 
There are different types of dental tweezers, but some common features include:
Tips: May be angled or straight, with serrated tips for better grasping of cotton rolls and other materials.
Size: Typically range from 5 to 8 inches in length.
 
Cotton pliers: These are the most common type of dental tweezers. They have straight, serrated tips for grasping and holding cotton rolls, gauze pads, and other materials.
 
Dentle tweezer is likely a misspelling of "dental tweezers." Dental tweezers are a specific type of tweezer used in dentistry for a variety of purposes.
 
Dental tweezers
Here are some key points about dental tweezers:
Purpose: They are used for grasping and manipulating small objects in the mouth that are too small or difficult to handle with fingers. Some common uses include:
Placing and removing cotton rolls for isolation of teeth during procedures.
Holding sutures (stitches) during suturing procedures.
Removing small debris or foreign objects from the mouth.
Placing orthodontic materials like brackets and bands.
Types: Dental tweezers come in a variety of designs, including:
Angled tweezers: These have angled tips that provide better access to hard-to-reach areas in the mouth.
Serrated tweezers: These have serrated tips that help to grip objects more securely.
Non-serrated tweezers: These have smooth tips that are used for delicate procedures where gripping too tightly could damage tissues.
Locking tweezers: These have a locking mechanism that allows the dentist to keep the tweezers clamped shut with one hand, freeing up the other hand for other tasks.
Material: Dental tweezers are typically made of stainless steel for durability and ease of sterilization.
It's important to note that dental tweezers are for professional use only and should not be used for self-care at home.
