Performing routine root canal surgery is second nature for most dentists. Of course, it can be a bit trickier when your patient is a 94st polar bear.
But three-year-old Sisu needed urgent treatment when staff at Yorkshire Wildlife Park noticed a front canine was broken.
So animal dentist Dr Peter Kertesz was called in to sedate the powerful animal and carry out an hour-long root canal procedure to fix the tooth.
