Tooth ape..330 pound gorilla faces the dreaded vist from the dentist.<br />
<br />
Nobody enjoys a visit to the dentist and Alf the gorilla was no exception.<br />
<br />
His keepers at Longleat Safari Park, Wilts, recently noticed some swelling to Alf's lower jaw and decided to get him looked at.<br />
<br />
Luckily for the large ape he didn't know too much about it as he was anaesthetised throughout the check up, that involved a team of four vets and five keepers from the Wiltshire Safari park.<br />
<br />
They took no chances in upsetting the critically endangered primate and put him under for the entire procedure.
