Here are some antique dental tools that, thankfully, no longer are used!
Douglas Lever: a combination of elevator and forceps
Clockwork Drill: the first drill that could rotate continuously to remove damage from a tooth
Civil War era set of dental forceps: the drill in the center telescoped to work on the root of the tooth being extracted. Can you believe that during this time, the dental anesthetic still had not been popularized?! Ouch!
