Dentist Removes Painful Tooth From Gorilla

“This is the amazing moment one of the world’s only specialist zoo dentists goes to work removing a 3-inch painful tooth from the mouth of a giant gorilla. Dr Peter Kertesz spent two hours removing a broken canine which was causing serious toothache to Petinax, a silverback Western gorilla.
