What is the average price for a root planing or root scaling?

Question

I moved to a new town and thus a new dentist. My old dentist did a cleaning every four months and kept an eye on my deep pockets which never trouble me. The new dentist says I need root planing. About ten years ago I paid 150 per quadrant. Considering inflation I would expect it to be about 300 per quadrant now but fear it is even more. Can anyone tell me what they paid recently per quadrant?
