Here's an article from 2010.
http://www.dynamicdentalinc.com/blog/bid/45863/What-is-a-deep-cleaning-or-scaling
Price then was 180-300 per quadrant, so 720 -1200 for the whole mouth, probably depending on where you live.
This article above, mentions Arrestin. Is that the antibiotic that the dentist mentioned?
I had scaling (deep cleaning done 5-6 years ago), and it was 1200 for the whole thing.
It will probably be that or more now.
They do 2 quadrants per visit at 90 minutes each, so the whole thing takes 3 hours over two visits. They numb you with novacaine and use that sonic tool under the gumline, (it's very sensitive beneath the gumline), down towards your roots, to remove all the calculus that's been building up for years. No regular cleaning can fix that. It needs to be deep cleaned.
If you have pockets of 6mm, that's pretty bad. There's no way to start getting those numbers reversed without a deep cleaning. When you have 6's or greater that means you are having bone loss.
Get it done and start taking care of your teeth.
Pay him now, or pay him more later (when its worse).
