I’m a dentist and I think it’s totally unnecessary for a lot of people. Usually tell them that too unless my hygienist and I feel otherwise for the particular case or there are insurance benefits and little to no out of pocket cost

I went for cleanings/checkup only once per year for decades with no issues. Then I noticed that the hygienist was starting to spend a lot more time working on plaque.
Apparently, something about me changed to generate more (even though I brush and floss like an OCD nut). She said it would be easier to maintain if I came in every 6 months, so I switched to that schedule. Lots less picking and scraping now.
