Gizmo will be a year old next week and its already been brought to my attention that he has some tarter build up on his upper molars. My vet recommended a visit to the vet dentist however, i just called and its going to be $100 for just the consult. Gizmo has had a lot of trips to the vet during this first year of life and its expensive. Should i go and see what he says? At the same time i dont want to go and feel horrible for not being able to afford all the stuff the vet will probably suggest. Im starting nursing school in august and we will be soly on my husbands income. It just seems like everytime i save up money to put away we end up having to use it on Gizmo.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I have tried to brush the tarter off but its not coming off.
