Scaling of Both Dental Arches Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
Scaling of both arches is the professional dental cleaning that removes tartar and plaque built up on the teeth of both arches, upper and lower.
What is it for? It helps keep the gums healthy and prevents cavities and periodontal disease by removing deposits that brushing cannot remove.
What to expect? It is an in-office procedure in which the tartar is removed with instruments and usually ends with polishing; it generally does not require anesthesia.
Who performs it? It is carried out by dentists, including the pediatric dentist in the case of children. It's a good idea to schedule a checkup to find out how often you should have it done.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
