What will this cost me?
| Item | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Professional cleaning and scaling | KES 6,000 |
| Consultation | KES 1,500 |
What changes the price?
- How much tartar there is. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove safely.
- Your gums. If the cleaning needs to go below the gumline to treat gum disease, it becomes a course of treatment rather than a routine clean.
Does SHA cover teeth cleaning?
Routine cleaning is preventive, basic care, and is generally covered in full under SHA for civil servants. Many private schemes also include it. See what SHA covers.
How often do you need a cleaning?
Every six months for most people, and every three to four months if you have gum disease, smoke, or build up tartar quickly. A regular clean costs far less than the fillings, root canals or gum treatment it helps you avoid.
Once tartar has hardened it cannot be brushed away. Here is what you can and cannot remove at home.
