The three-year-old polar bear was operated on for an hour by animal dentist Dr Peter Kertesz to clear the infected root canal to prevent an abscess from growing
"I was glad we operated swiftly because a broken tooth can lead to severe infection and be very painful."
Dr Kertesz carried out the tooth root filling along with dental nurse Monika Mazurkiewicz and a vet specialised in the use of anaesthetics.He added:"It was a standard procedure, where we cleaned out the infected root canal of the canine tooth, which was over three inches long, and filled it."After the operation, Sisu was standing very quickly, but he was kept in his den to recover fully.
Charlotte McDonald, the wildlife park's director of animals, later confirmed that Sisu is now"fully recovered". The park's official Twitter account posted a video of the operation along with the caption:"What happens when a Polar Bear has tooth ache?Polar bear Flocke also welcomed three cubs at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in June this yearThe wildlife park is known for being the home of a number of polar bears.
One of the polar bears named Flocke delighted animal lovers after being pictured with three new cubs back in June this year.
