Two times per year: Twice a year is a minimum. Many people need to bee seen 3 or 4 times a year due to gum disease.

6 months : Most patients are seen every six months for exams and cleanings. Depending on gum health, it may be recommended to see the dentist more frequently.

Depends: 2x/yr for most people. For some people (pts w gum disease, pts wearing braces, pts w compromised oral hygiene, pts w diabetes or other systemic diseases) more frequent visits may be prudent.
