A deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a dental procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. It is more extensive than a regular cleaning and is typically recommended for people with gum disease or other periodontal problems.
The cost of a deep cleaning can vary depending on a number of factors, including the severity of the gum disease, the number of teeth that need to be cleaned, and the location of the dental practice. In general, however, the cost of a deep cleaning ranges from $150 to $400 per quadrant. This means that the total cost of a deep cleaning can range from $300 to $1,600.
