Chinese panda gets his teeth done
BBC

Chinese giant panda Xiaopingping has become the first of his species to undergo dental treatment after enduring a two-hour root canal operation.

At the advanced age of 17, he was having trouble eating his staple diet of bamboo shoots until doctors in Sichuan province came to his aid.

Two other pandas will soon be receiving the same treatment, the China Daily newspaper reports.

All live at the Chengdu Panda Base, home to more than 40 giant pandas.
