Scaling and root planing cost / deep cleaning teeth cost Dubai
Deep-cleaning cost depends on periodontal findings, treatment areas, pocket depth, imaging, anaesthesia, and follow-up.
The short answer
Scaling removes plaque and calculus from tooth surfaces, while root planing smooths contaminated root surfaces below the gum margin. The fee is shaped by disease extent and treatment complexity, not by the phrase deep cleaning alone.
What should a periodontal assessment and written plan show?
Request a periodontal chart, radiographs when indicated, and a written plan showing which areas are treated and whether local anaesthesia, review visits, or maintenance are included. Continue gentle brushing and interdental cleaning as instructed.
When should you arrange an assessment for gum problems?
Arrange an assessment when gums bleed repeatedly, swell, recede, feel tender, or teeth become loose. Facial swelling, fever, or severe pain requires urgent evaluation.
What should you ask about treatment areas, visits, and maintenance?
How many periodontal areas need treatment, what findings support root planing, what visits are included, and what maintenance schedule will follow?
