A routine General check-up should be taken at least twice a year even if there is no problem for a normal individual. But if there's a problem like stains, calculus or yellowish brown discolouration then definitely you should get cleaning done which in our language is k/as SCALING & POLISHING.
Health Tips
Visit local dentist twice a year.
