Toothaches can be excruciating, and humans aren’t the only ones who experience such discomfort.
A remarkable example can be found in Lucha, a magnificent Asian elephant residing at England’s ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.
Concerned zookeepers noticed a distressing trend: Lucha was rapidly losing weight and refusing to eat. Determined to find the cause, they embarked on a quest for answers.
Upon examining Lucha, veterinarians discovered a severe tooth infection in her mouth. Realizing the situation’s complexity, they sought the expertise of renowned dental specialist Peter Kertesz.
With skill and precision, Kertesz extracted Lucha’s enormous tooth, a sight that will leave you in awe. The procedure resolved her dental issue, and Lucha regained her joyful disposition.
