Dentist's like to give you the worst case scenario so you won't be shocked. He's right, they won't know until they get in there what needs to be done.

Also, when I took my dog in to have a prophy, they said it would be $500.00.When I picked her up to pay the bill it was $177.00 which was still a lot of money but made them look good. See what I mean? It's a lot of money, but what can we do? The mouth and teeth are the portal to the whole body and when they are in bad shape if affects everything. Same as a humane.

I'm going to start putting away $20.00 a month to pay for their cleaning once a year. Can you tell I work for a dentist!

Periwinkle:

Good luck.
