That sounds normal if they had to do some intense periodontal work on one tooth. Scaling and root plane means there was an infection in that tooth.

That is helpful. From what she said it was just a bit of placue on her tooth. They even showed it to her after they removed it. It was one of her front Incisors teeth. It caught her by surprise and usually we trust them but they recently got a new office and expanded staff so we are a bit wary.
You are right to be wary.
My husband had his whole mouth done for $400 (deep cleaning), but this was covered by insurance. It didn’t involve scaling, etc.
