We took Darwin in for his dental specialist visit on Saturday - and they quoted us low $700 - high $800 to have his baby teeth extracted. The dentist didn't think he needed any permanent teeth removed, but said he cant tell that until they xray and determine for sure. I'm in SHOCK at how much it's going to cost to remove baby teeth! Now I wish I would've waited to get his neuter done and have them remove teeth at the same time...but we neutered him at 4 months b/c he started humping and trying to lift his leg while peeing. Oh well...anythng for my baby - I better cut down on the spending now! Surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks out. My question is...if it's just as simple as removing baby teeth, why did the regular vet refer us out to a specialist? Did he not feel confident in removing baby teeth himself?? I'm so confused... |
