Usually every 6: Month, unless they found problem they want to watch, ask them what the reason.

Every 6 months : Unless you have gum disease, you should only need a cleaning every 6 months. If you don't feel you need to be seen every 3 months, i would suggest a second opinion by an independent dentist.
