How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?
The standard recommendation
For most people, a professional cleaning every six months keeps plaque and tartar under control and lets your dentist catch small problems before they become big, expensive ones.
When you may need more
Smokers, heavy tea and coffee drinkers, and people prone to gum disease often benefit from cleaning every three to four months. We'll tell you honestly if you fall into this group.
What cleaning actually does
Scaling removes tartar that brushing can't shift, polishing smooths the enamel, and the check-up screens for cavities and gum problems. It's the highest-value, lowest-cost visit in dentistry.

A cleaning is also the easiest way to meet a new dentist — a gentle introduction with fresher breath and healthier gums at the end of it.
