Tooth Extraction?

my husband and I have a 5 year old Pomeranian and she has a bad tooth that we found last night. I had to put some orejel on it (I know, not a good idea, but the poor thing was in pain). How much does it cost to get this fixed?

Tooth Extraction?
You can vet shop.... I do know my daughter's pug had to be put to sleep to extract... it cost about $100. (Atlanta)





Be Blessed!
Reply:You'll have to check with the vet, but there are payment plans for higher priced procedures.





It's very important to get this fixed right away, as the infection spreads to the rest of the body quickly. She needs to be on antibiotics as well.





Orajel and Anbesol are fine to use - and it was very nice of you to consider that she was in pain. Hard to believe but many owners would not even think of that...
Reply:My Duke had to have 3 teeth pulled when we got him from my niece and we also had him neutered at the same time because they have to be put to sleep when they clean or pull their teeth. It cost $150 dollars to have the teeth extracted all vets charge differently it cost my cousin almost $300 for her dog to have 2 teeth pulled
Reply:It shouldnt be that much because its just a tooth problem and not a broken leg or something. But nothing at the doctor or vet is cheap. So just take her in and see what they say.
Reply:Depends on where you live. You need to call your vet for a quote and estimate. It's hard to give quotes over the Internet because I know what we charge but I'll bet that you don't live here. Call a vet in your area. There is no national pricing for veterinary medicine. EDIT: I'm not from Central Florida but I'm a CVT (certified veterinary technician). Ballpark price anywhere from $100 to $1000 depending on where you go and the condition of the tooth. Sorry that I can't be more accurate.
Reply:Call the vets in your area and price shop. I don't know what area you are in, so I can't tell you. If she needs antibiotics, before and after, needss anesthesia, and other dental work, like cleaning of the other teeth, could be pricey. don't let the price deter you from having it extracted though, because she could get a systemic infection from it and become one very sick dog. Don't wait too long. Good luck
Reply:Your vet can give you a detailed estimate when you go in to have the tooth checked. Unfortunately when it comes to medical care for their pets, people tend to "price shop" for the lowest price. Since most don't have health insurance for their pets, the cost can be significant. If you have a veterinarian you trust, then trust him/her to do the procedure. The dog will have to go under general anethesia, extracting a tooth is painful. Fixing a problem with your dog or cat should not be like fixing a problem with your car. Any kind of surgery is risky and pets can die, make sure someone you trust is performing the procedure.
