Tiger undergoes root canal surgery after suffering from toothache


A tiger with toothache is back to his best after undergoing a two-and-a-half-hour root canal surgery. Staff at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park identified the issue when Skah, a seven-year-old Bengal tiger, was given a routine health check-up. The surgery itself required a specialist, so the park brought in Gerhard Putter to perform the operation. “The only real options are to extract the tooth or do root canal treatment, which is preferable and less traumatic, if possible. “But they are beautiful animals and it is exciting to be so close to a tiger like that.
