Not everyone is as fortunate Some people can easily develop a small cavity over a 6 month period. if you don't, then you're pretty much just going for the cleaning.

No, you could probably go twice that long regularly with no problems, but jiffylube wants to change your oil as often as possible. That being said, I usually go to the dentist once a year

I have an arrangement where I am called every 6th month then I make an appointment. ½ the times I go to the actual dentist for some checking etc. and ½ the times I just go to the clinique's assistant who cleans my teeth and removes tartar It depends very much on your personal oral hygiene as well as the natural bacteria flow in your saliva. Also, going to the dentist is expensive in DK as well as in the US, however not going to the dentist usually ends up being even more expensive... Just saying
