I went 3 times for cleanings each 6 months. The first time I was told my teeth were in terrible shape. I've never been told that before but that doesn't mean they're wrong. I figured, with age you can't keep everything in good shape. I accepted when they recommended debridement, a painful and invasive cleaning that involves separating the gum from the teeth to remove extremely heavy deposits of calculus. It also removed 200+ from my wallet. 6 mos later they told me a regular cleaning was ok. then 6 mos after that debridement again. I left with no cleaning on suspicion I was being hoodwinked.
What tipped me off is that they gave the exact same routine to my wife as well as 2 other people she works with. One says she gets debridement yearly.
I've had 2 more dentists since then and they told me what I've always been told my whole life by dentists. That I'm very very lucky to be in the minority of people who have naturally healthy teeth. I brush twice a day, floss irregularly and yet I've never had a cavity. Furthermore, calculus never gets a good buildup on my teeth.
