Winston, Ore. – Wildlife Safari in Winston Oregon announced the success of a dental procedure performed on one of its cherished African Lions, Enzi, who lives within the Wildlife Safari Drive Thru.
This groundbreaking procedure was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Dr. Brannick Adams and his team from the Harvard Dental Group. Enzi, an 11-year-old lion, who is known for his big personality, revealed a fractured upper left canine tooth on a routine examination, necessitating a critical root canal procedure Dr. Adams characterized the procedure as “adventure dentistry.”
The successful operation was conducted while Enzi was under anesthesia, and presented an opportunity for Wildlife Safari, to perform blood tests to assess Enzi’s overall health. Fortunately, all test results came back within normal limits, reassuring the park’s staff that Enzi is doing well and will live a long healthy life in the sanctuary
