Meg Sutherland Smith, associate director of veterinary services at the San Diego Zoo, used a light to seal a dental composite, according to a blog post on the San Diego Zoo's website.
Bai Yun then received a teeth cleaning and took some X-rays. She was then allowed to rest up as the anesthesia from her dental visit wore off.
No word on whether the panda received a sticker for being so cooperative.
