That really depends on your oral hygiene habits. If you do a good job brushing twice a day and floss every tooth at least once a day, then getting a cleaning twice a year should be fine. Otherwise, you will need to get it more often.
There isn't a set interval that is same for every patient. It depends on the severity of your periodontal disease and how well you maintain it after the root planing.
