I have to take him back in 6 months for a checkup, and then he'll get a yearly cleaning. Any other recommendations for cleaning his teeth?

The total was $364, and they removed a benign growth from his mouth .

That's not bad at all! Congrats!

Just had Toby done and it cost $268............did blood work, did cleaning and everything that goes along with cleaning, pulled some teeth, gave him an antibiotic shot, clipped his nails, rabies shot, license.........I have a great vet!!!

I called around a few days ago to get pricing and the clinic that I have heard so many good things about is the cheapest and $264. That includes the pre-anesthesia workup, IV fluids, and cleaning. Any extractions would be $10 per tooth. I thought that was a pretty good price.

Here's the paperwork, and photo of the before and after. They also removed that little lump.

Cooper had a cleaning in August. It was $85 which I thought was extremely reasonable considering what I've read.

Looks good Fryfry! Great thread!

Just had one done 3 weeks ago.

It was $218, including a CBC and antibiotics to take home. Cleaning and no extractions. He had already had a senior panel done 6 months prior, and though I had requested another one be done, my vet recommended a CBC for this procedure.

That saved about $100.

Wild Blue · 01-14-2014, 07:24 AM

I think you have enough money for the dental plus extractions. With pre-anesthetic blood work and that many extractions I would guestimate the cost to be $500 to a $1000 dollars. Cost can vary wildly from region to region.

Yes technicians do the dental cleanings but in most states, a veterinarian has to perform the extractions (it's surgery!) and regardless if there are extractions or not, a veterinarian should ALWAYS look in the mouth and review the "dental", especially with a case like your JRT who needs more than just a simple cleaning. Your veterinarian needs to examine the dental structure to identify areas of dental disease that are severe enough to warrant extractions. Some teeth are obvious but some are not. Sometimes antibiotics are needed as well and only a veterinarian can prescribe this not a technician.

Glad the dental went well and way way below budget!
You can use rinses, gels, sprays and dental chews to help keep the tarter away since brushing will be a challenge for you.

Being charged to place a muzzle is insane and I would NOT pay that!
