My other dog, Twister is due to get a dental cleaning and it could cost anywhere up to $800! They charge $50.00 just for an office visit. Unbelievable! I am going to call my mom's vet and see what they charge. She lives in a more rural area of Maryland. Stef and Cricket dasha48 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: We lived in McLean VA at one time.

I am planning on breeding Cricket. So she would have to be sedated just for her tooth extrations. I am going to ask around at other vet clinics because it seems most people are saying it cost them $5 per tooth! My vet is not even close to that in price! I live in a very expensive area, Northern Virginia, which is near Washington, DC. Maybe I will just have to drive further out to find a cheaper price.

Whish is why a lot of people decided to try to do a spay/neuter and a teeth extraction under the same anesthesia...saves money and only a one time danger....

My 7 month old Chi, Cricket still has all four (2 upper and 2 lower) baby canine teeth and the adult teeth are growing in next to them! All four of the baby teeth are not falling out and not even loose. I asked the vet and he said they will have to be pulled. It is going to cost between $180 and $450, depending on the sedation/anesthesia used! The vet said this is a common problem in the smaller dogs. I had no idea. Any thoughts?
