2. Regional Differences

Variations in economic development, living costs, and distribution of medical resources across regions directly affect dental cleaning fees. In first-tier cities or economically developed areas, higher living costs lead to correspondingly higher medical service prices. In smaller cities or grassroots medical facilities, lower operating costs make cleaning services more affordable.

3. Individual Oral Health Conditions

For patients with severe tartar buildup, heavy pigmentation, or complicated conditions such as periodontal disease, the difficulty and time required for cleaning increase, leading to higher costs.

It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and choose the most suitable method under a dentist’s guidance.
