Avoid the unbearable pain that wisdom teeth can cause.

There is a simple and easy solution to avoid pain that is not caused by wisdom teeth. Go to the dentist and get a diagnosis, because in many cases there is no other option but to extract them. Wisdom teeth often suffer from cavities due to the difficulty of access for brushing, as they are located in the back area, and because of the bad position they usually have in the mouth, which prevents the tooth from correctly contacting its antagonist or opposite tooth.

Doctor Francisco Rábago, together with the veterinarians from the Zoobotánico de Jerez, have carried out the placement of two implants in the male mandrill to improve its teeth and make it easier for it to chew. The screw and the piece were placed in one area of the face and in the other an immediate load was carried out, which consists of doing the whole procedure in one go. In this way, they have avoided the primate having to undergo another operation.” Firstly, an examination was carried out, where all the anomalies found in the mandrill’s teeth could be verified. This exploration was done with a 3D scanner, an innovative and pioneering technique, with which a virtual library of mouth models of all the species at the Jerez Zoo was started. The collaborations between Francisco Rábago and the Jerez Zoo began more than ten years ago, and they have allowed, among other actions, the recovery of a hermit ibis specimen, which was fitted with a prosthesis on one leg, following the dental implant system. For Dr. Rábago, it is a real satisfaction to collaborate with this type of interventions given the passion he feels for animals.

Parents often say that "my child grinds his teeth while sleeping"
