The cost of teeth cleaning and scaling depends on your province. Some provinces have a 'fair guideline' that dentists may have to adhere to for general dental services. For example, in Alberta, the guidelines state that polishing should be around $69, scaling should be $77, and a fluoride treatment should be $33, all of which are included in standard teeth cleaning. Moreover, the approximate cost for just a cleaning may be around $180, depending on your province (not including the dentist consultation cost—just having the dentist examine your teeth will cost extra).
