While dentists often elicit fear, Nora Schwitzer is more likely to be scared of her patients, having carried out complex dental treatments on some of the world's most dangerous animals.

Ms Schwitzer, a renowned veterinary specialist, has achieved incredible feats, from root canal surgeries on tigers to the extraction of a chimpanzee’s upper canines.
