I couldn't have stood the pain from the abscess much longer.AnswerHealing after an tooth extraction can take up to a week.


How much is a vet visit for an abscessed tooth?

This will depend upon which tooth, how badly it is abscessed, what species the animal is and the animal's overall health status. The bare minimum will probably be several hundred dollars in the United States, as an abscessed tooth typically needs to be surgically removed. A complicated removal with a fracture tooth and an abscess that is impacting the underlying mandible or maxilla in a large animal such as a horse could end up costing several thousand dollars.

Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.
