Professional Cleaning depend on your Oral and General Medical condition.

As a young healthy individual, you may get a hygeine appointment annually. Otherwise it's case dependant.

The standard insurance recommendation is to visit the dentist for a cleaning every six months, but how often you really need to get your teeth cleaned by a dentist will depend on your unique oral health.

Hello Mounia Adel,

professional teeth cleaning is recommended 2 times for years, people who have problems with the gums must do it more often, likewise, young people who is passionated using dental brush and flossing could do it 1 time for years.  A Check up visiting a doctor doing XRays at least every 2 years. 

Hope you fine it helpful

The question is an interesting one which should naturally have an individual-based answer. However, it is interesting and noteworthy that Scandinavin countries like Sweden and Norway, recommend professional tooth cleaning every 6 months regardless of status of the oral hygiene. We know that dental health care within those countries are among the best in the world so following their guideline models should be gold standard for the dental industri worldwide. Please note that the above statement is the opinion expressed by the author and national dental guidelines should be followed.

Cleaning teeth divided into two parts ,home clean by tooth brush and professional clean by the dentist , so if you want to be comfortable and has a healthy teeth you should clean your teeth daily by tooth paste and brush at least twice a day , and you should go to the dentist every six monthes at least to check your teeth . That's all , thanks for your good question

Search Results Featured snippet from the web Teeth Whitening in Chennai If you have good oral hygiene habits and a healthy mouth, your dentist and dental hygienist will probably suggest professional teeth cleaning at least twice a year. Many dental insurance policies will cover two cleanings per year, but few people take full advantage of their benefits.
