Why is a fluoride treatment so expensive?

Preventive visit pricing reflects hygienist or dentist time, sterilization, and overhead. Deep cleanings and periodontal maintenance take longer than routine prophylaxis. Urban offices and high-cost metros pass through higher rent and staffing costs. We benchmark against ADA fee surveys and Fair Health — your quote may differ by case complexity.
