The root scaling is a deep cleaning they are the same. The charge for scaling is $340 a quarter at Villages dental and is not fully covered by your insurance.
After this they would consider every cleaning as periodontal maintenance which the insurance will not pay for unless you had periodontal surgery, even though it is just the regular cleaning with a different code.
They usually recommend this if they see plaque on the x-ray. If you are not having problems I would skip it. For me it meant that as long as I had my insurance I would be paying for the semi annual cleaning instead of 100% coverage.
