That's ridiculous. We usually pay about $185 for a dental plus about $15 for tooth extraction, and then pay for bloodwork in addition to that. But not $900. As full timers, we've found varying prices around the country, so we usually wait until we are in the SE before having dental work done.
The OP's dog has an abscessed tooth. To me, that is pretty close to an emergency that needs to be taken care of immediately for the dog's comfort and health. I don't think the dog would appreciate waiting until they can travel to the lowest cost provider in the country.
