What is an "elevator"?
In dentistry, an elevator is a tool used to lift and loosen teeth from their places in the jaw before they are removed. It has a slender, angled blade that helps to separate the tooth from the surrounding gum and bone, making it easier for the dentist to take out the tooth. Elevators are essential for performing tooth removal procedures such as wisdom tooth removals with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue.

It's important to hold the elevator door open if someone is rushing to catch it.
