How often to get a scaling — and what the price covers
An advertised scaling price is usually a starting price. What moves the bill is polishing, X-rays and any follow-up treatment. Here is what is typically included and what is charged on top.
How often it is usually advised
People without gum problems are usually advised to have a scaling every 6–12 months. Those with gum inflammation, who smoke, or who wear braces may be advised to come more often. The right interval depends on your own mouth, and the dentist assesses it at the visit.
What a starting price often excludes
Most ฿590–฿890 packages cover the scaling and a polish, but X-rays, fillings and root canal work are billed separately. Before booking, check whether the listing says all costs are included and what is charged on top.
