So our dog chipped one of its upper fang canine teeth pretty badly. Went to vet to get checked out and got her on pain meds and antibiotics. Options are extraction or getting a referral to a specialist for root canal. Vet said root canal will be insanely expensive and she can do fine missing that tooth. Estimated the extraction fee between 550-900 bucks depending on how much of the sedation drugs they gotta use and how long it ultimately takes.

Any of you ever dealt with this with your pets? I tried calling a few other vets but they all require her to be pre-examined before they will give a quote on the procedure (and the places that would do a free dental estimate are booked until 2 weeks from now). Not sure if this is considered pricey or not to have a tooth pulled.
