Aslan the lion was facing a huge crisis.

He broke some of his teeth, which caused a huge change in his behavior. He became more agitated, more aggressive, and more isolated from his pack.

“He’s just a different cat,” said Kevin Richardson, founder of The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary.”

“A lion without his bite is not really a lion.”

Fortunately, Richardson--known as “The Lion Whisperer”--teamed up with Fixodent to fix Aslan.

“This is the story of how we helped him get his bite back and return to his life as king of the savannah,” Fixodent said of the short film, which won an award at Cannes.

“Through Kevin Richardson, Fixodent came to understand that when lions lose their teeth, their journey mirrors that of humans who experience tooth loss.”
