Captive Bead Rings - Body Piercing Jewelry

Captive bead ring (CBR)

A captive bead ring (CBR) is a ball closure ring or captive ball
  ring. It is one of the bodies piercing jewelry. It is like any circle made up of
  a wire. A bead, which looks like a ball, is fitted into the circular wire. The
  wire is slightly less in diameter were the bead fits so that it is not movable
  within the wire and though the circle is open, the bead doesn’t fall off. But also
  the bead can be fit in such a way that it looks like being clamped by the wire.  

Science of CBR

The tensile strength of a metal wire is used to hold the bead in place. The wire
  is made up of surgival stainless steel, niobium or titanium. The bead is made up
  of colored glass or ceramic or some semi precious stone.

Popularity of CBR

  This body jewelry is very popular. When the bead is removed, the jewelry is removed.
    So the person who wears it has to simply remove the bead. Still the bead will
    not fall off the ring. Because of the nature of manufacture it does not hold
    on clothing, hair or furniture, making them a popular choice for piercings, which
    are still healing. These are closed in shape and have rounded edges.

A Captive Bead Ring or Ball Closure Ring may be is the most popular kind of body
  piercing jewelry because one can wear it many ways and style it according to one’s
  own choice. It can be worn on the nose apart from being placed at the navel, lips,
  nipple etc.

  Reports suggest that customers go for buying it as nipple jewelry, lip
  jewelry, nose jewelry, eyebrow jewelry and also for a clit, genital
  piercing without miding the pain it may cause during sexual interactions.

Question about piercing tools?

I have my lip pierced, and for the dentist she's making me take it out.
I have a hoop.
When he put it in last year, I saw him use this tool that allowed him to easily put the ball in, or take it off.
What's the tool called that lets you open and close the ring without any problem?
I need to buy one online but I have no idea what it would be called.

Ring openers & closers - although, pliers work just as well, in my experience.
