Q. This really doesn't have to do with people but about my dog. My dog has a chipped tooth and need a root canal. There is no dog dentist any where near me. Closest ones hours away. I heard somthing about people dentists working with vet clinics to do dogs teeth. Is this true? Where would I find out if any one in my area does something about like that?
A. ask your vet about the best thing for your dog, most vets would do this for your dog anyway, its pretty standard. good luck. hope your doggy feels better!
How much does it cost to replace a dogs upper front teeth?
Q. I took my dog to the dentist a week ago to clean his teeth and he ended up removing 22 teeth including his upper-front molars. He is having a hard time eating regular food and looks ugly because the teeth are missing. How much would it cost to replace the two teeth and were do i have to go to do it?
A. Once the teeth are taken out, you cannot replace them. If he had 22 teeth removed, he won't be able to chew dry food, so you will have to start feeding him wet food.
How is a dogs mouth cleaner than a humans?
Q. People brush their teeth, floss, use mouth wash, and go to the dentist. Dogs lick their butts, eat leftover dead things in the lawn and snack out of the litter box. I'm not seeing it. Dogs breath smells awful too. So someone explain to me how dogs mouths are cleaner than a persons?
A. It is a myth that dogs mouths are cleaner. Peoples mouths are actually cleaner (although I guess it depends on the person :P
The thing is that most diseases or illnesses a dog can have do are not transferable to humans while humans obviously transfer illness to one another. While a dogs mouth is dirtier, it may be less dangerous to humans.

Has your dog ever had to have dental surgery?
Q. My dachshund has a fractured molar and my regular vet sent me to a veterinary dentist. I knew going to a specialist would be expensive, but I wasn't prepared for this! Just the initial visit cost $120 and when I got the estimate for the procedure, I almost fell off my chair! More than $1300!!!! Just to pull a tooth. Of course that includes anesthesia, antibiotics and pain killers, but still! She's worth every cent I have to spend to keep her healthy, but this is going to be tough.
So has your dog (or cat) ever had to have dental surgery, or any other type of expensive procedure? How much did it cost?
BTW, don't let your dog chew on any hard toys! Those hard plastic Nylabones are a no-no and my dog loves them. The dentist told me a chew toy should pass the 3 following criteria:
1. Soft enough to make an indentation with your thumbnail.
2. At least a little flexible.
3. If it is hard enough to hurt you if you bang it on your knee, it's too hard for the dog to chew on.

A. Why can't your vet just pull the tooth? It should be under two hundred dollars for everything including extraction. Is it broken below the gumline?
I think you are getting "took".
