A 2020 Cochrane review that assessed the two clinical trials concluded that “whether adults see their dentist for a check‐up every six months or at personalized intervals based on their dentist’s assessment of their risk of dental disease does not affect tooth decay, gum disease, or quality of life. Longer intervals (up to 24 months) between check‐ups may not negatively affect these outcomes.” The Cochrane reviewers reported that they were “confident” of little to no difference between six-month and risk-based check-ups and were “moderately confident” that going up to 24-month checkups would make little to no difference either.
Likewise, Nadanovsky and his colleagues highlight that there is no evidence supporting the benefit of common scaling and polishing treatments for adults without periodontitis. And for children, cavities in baby teeth are routinely filled, despite evidence from a randomized controlled trial that rates of pain and infections are similar—about 40 percent—whether the cavities are filled or not.
That’s not what cleanings are for
I don’t think you understand what cleanings are…
Like, if you knew what scaling or polishing meant (actually know, not just heard the words) we wouldn’t be having this issue.
Or if you asked questions instead of stating sentence fragments, people would probably take more time explaining things to you.
It’s painfully obvious through all your comments that you don’t know the first thing about cleanings or dental health.

‘Sentence fragments’? You may want to step away from the glass house when you lob accusations like that.
