Our local dentist offers his own plan for about $365 annually that covers cleanings and exams twice a year and gives a discount on x-rays and other things. We have turned it down. So far at least, spouse and I have been going for one cleaning and exam a year, with the dentist saying after each visit that this frequency is entirely adequate for us. The cost is about $180 per person. We also refuse routine x-rays for reasons I don't want to detail here. There is nothing absolutely magic about having to go to a dentist for cleanings twice a year; that seems to be a rarely-challenged business-building rule of thumb which is overkill for some people who take excellent care of their teeth and get good checkups.
