'You can see the relief in his face': Woman helps squirrel with overgrown teeth

In Sinking Spring, Berks County, Pennsylvania, Linda rescued a squirrel named Toothy and transported him to Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation in Lancaster County for dental treatment of his severely overgrown teeth.
For months, Toothy visited Linda's home while struggling to eat because his teeth were becoming dangerously long. Linda cut his food into tiny pieces to help him survive.
Over time, Linda worked to earn Toothy's trust, eventually trapping him so she could bring the squirrel to the rehabilitation facility. This intervention allowed specialists to address his dental issues.
Acorn Acres successfully trimmed Toothy's overgrown teeth. "You can see the relief in his face," Acorn Acres said, noting immediate improvement after the procedure.
Staff at Acorn Acres will continue monitoring how Toothy's teeth grow back following the procedure. The facility remains updated on his progress to ensure sustained recovery.
