Abstract:
A pair of dental pliers for use by a parent to extract a non-permanent tooth from a child's mouth. The dental pliers include a left leg and a right leg that are pivotally engaged with each other. Each of the left and right legs has a handle and a jaw. The handles are fabricated from a flexible material that flexes when too much force is applied thereto when moving the jaws to a closed position. The flexible handles thus limit the amount of force that may be applied to extract a tooth. The jaws include jaw tips that taper inwardly toward each other and angle downwardly from the handles. The jaw tips include angled interior surfaces that define a cupped region shaped to be able to contact a base of the tooth during the extraction process. The pliers are able to be cleaned and sanitized in a dishwasher after use.

Claim (Index 1):
A pair of dental extraction pliers comprising:\n a left leg including a handle and a jaw; a right leg including a handle and a jaw; wherein the handles of the left leg and right leg are fabricated from a flexible material; a pivot pin engaging the left and right legs to each other; wherein the handles are movable towards each other or away from each other; and when the handles are moved towards each other, the jaws are moved toward each other; and the flexible material of the handles limits a force that is applied by the jaws; and wherein each jaw includes:\n a base comprising a first region and a second region, where the second region extends outwardly and forwardly from the first region; wherein an interior surface of the first region is oriented at a first angle relative to an interior surface of the second region; wherein the first region of the left leg and the first region of the right leg extend outwardly and forwardly from the pivot pin and angle outwardly away from each other; and the interior surfaces of the first and second regions of the base of the left leg are located opposite the interior surfaces of the first and second regions of the base of the right leg; and \n a jaw tip extends outwardly and downwardly from the second region of each base.
