Scaling and polishing of teeth are recommended once in 6 months. It removes the bacterial deposits on the teeth and prevents gum inflammation and bone loss. Thus, it maintains a strong foundation for the teeth to stay healthy for a longer time. It is a only a myth that regular cleaning leads to weakening or falling off of teeth.
Next Steps
You should get scaling done regularly, once in 6 months, as a regular maintenance protocol. Also, please consult your dentist to learn a proper brushing technique so that the amount of plaque accumulation is less.

Hello.. scaling or oral prophylaxis is recommended for every individual for every 6months to one year. From your history, seems like you have a tendency for more tartar formation which is seen in few individuals. Follow some oral hygiene instructions like brushing in a prescribed method twice daily and using a mouthwash which will help you in maintaining oral hygiene.
