Even beavers visit the dentist. From The Washington Post
Chipper, an 8-year-old American beaver, has a history of dental issues. His teeth have been closely watched since 2007. National Zoo veterinarian Carlos Sanchez and veterinary dentist and zoo consultant Barron Hall recently determined that three of Chipper’s teeth should be extracted.
Three teeth? Hopefully not three from the front. Beavers do have 20 normally, the famous orange ones in the front used to gnaw down trees, and some little molar-like munchers in the back used to chew up leaves. Still, I feel sorry for any creature at the dentist. This picture is heartbreaking.
