Doctors can you tell me how often should you have your teeth cleaned at the dentists?

3 months to 1 year: This varies from individual to individual. Most adults need to be seen every six months, children from 6 months to 1 year depending upon age and dental health; patients with gum problems usually need to be seen every 3 months. See your dentist, get checked out and ask what is best and appropriate for you.
