Dental care is important to so many...

I was horrified a few weeks ago whilst queuing to purchase my lunch to catch a glimpse of the horrific pictures on the front page of the newspaper.

A donkey being forced to parascending 150 feet above the ground on a beach in Russia. Her name was Anapka.

Everyone who knows me here realise that I am a huge fan or all things furry and feathered and I found this story really upsetting. I was later delighted to hear that one of the donkey sanctuaries in this country was trying hard to re home the donkey into a nice kind new environment.
The story then it seems developed a dental twist

Donkeys are unable to eat if their teeth become overgrown.


Anapka, has now been rescued and had her over sized teeth ground down by dentist Julia Ostanina. Anapka will need at least three more operations before she is able to eat properly, and vets fear she could slowly starve to death unless her teeth are reduced by half. Julia said: 'Her teeth are awful, some of the worst I've seen. She's never been properly checked before.' Her next operation will be in two weeks. The world-famous donkey has fast become a national treasure in Russia, with huge TV coverage of her story. She is living at the prestigious Kremlin School of Riding in Moscow before her long-term future is sorted.

I hope Anapka continues to be looked after. So may animals suffer from various dental problems.

Perhaps its time to get all those you love and care for checked out, both two legged and four http://www.absolute-dental.co.uk/treatments/assessment.html
