How Often Should You Have Your Teeth Cleaned By The Hygienist.?
I have a lot of crowns, both cosmetic and therapeutic. My dentist requires me to go 3x a year. I brush and floss twice daily and use listerine. Is this requirement excessive, or standard dental care. My insurance only covers a small portion of it.

I go every 6 months. It has been that way for all the dentists I have been to. Many insurance plans cover every 6 months.
I’ve never heard of anyone going more than every 6 months for a cleaning. My insurance pays 100% for cleaning twice a year.
I say every 6 months unless you have other problems like you have lots of dental work done then maybe he is telling you the truth.My dentist says twice a year.
Oh wow, I go twice a year….that is what everyone I know goes, @ 6 months.
Because of your crowns, that may be the reason for the 3x a year. Most people go twice a year though.
2x a year is you minimum for your dental care. You seem to have pretty good dental health.
I wish I did. I just found out that a got my first cavity a couple of days ago. Time for the dentist for me!
twice a year, more then that too much
the usual is every six months….. even if you have heavy plaque buildup…
evry six months at least.
