People without a history of gum disease should see a dentist for teeth cleanings every 6 months on average. However, if you have a history of gum disease or have dental implants, then it is advisable to have them cleaned every 3 or 4 months. Studies show that bacteria repopulate in the mouth after 90 days, so anyone that has a predisposition to developing gum disease needs more frequent cleanings.
