People are different: It really depends on your needs, the problems you have or the lack of problems, your family and your history. There isn't one interval the is appropriate for everyone. I see one special needs person once every 6 weeks and other people once a year. I don't think anyone should go longer than a year. Consult with a dentist for what is appropriate for you.

6 month: Generally it is recommended to visit the dentist every 6 months for a checkup and cleaning. In some cases more frequent 1 month or 3 month visits are suggested.
