Rubbing and Scratching the mouth
Sometimes dogs might scratch on the afflicted part of their mouth or might rub their mouth against the floor, while others might have a terrible breath. Pet parents can mistakenly believe their dog is scratching, but this behavior might be a clue that their dog has an abscessed tooth.

How much does perianal abscess surgery cost?
The cost to treat a perianal abscess in dogs will depend on the severity of the abscess and where you live. The costs can range from as little as $500 for a simple perianal abscess to over $1,000 for an abscess that is severe and requires extensive treatment.
This figure includes the initial exam, diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up visits. In some cases, this cost may be slightly higher depending on the severity of the condition and recurrence.
What Are The Signs When A Dog Has A Tooth Abscess?
An abscessed tooth is extremely traumatic for dogs, although they may not show any indications of discomfort. However, your canine could be hesitant to bite on its toys or try to move away from you when you want to pet him by touching his face. An alert pet parent may observe that their pet using only one side to bite or eat his food or that he is dropping his food while eating.
Note: The 4th top premolar is the tooth that is most prone to have an abscess in dogs.
The carnassial tooth in dogs has the biggest root of all the teeth. Carnassial teeth are used in tearing apart the food. However, they can easily get damaged as they are the ones that help in biting on bones or hard toys.
These common symptoms might appear much before your dog displays signs of discomfort.
