Default Dental cleaning - how often?

Amber had her first dental cleaning last October at age 9 (after losing
one of her fangs). I just got a "reminder" from the vet that she is due
again next month. Are yearly dentals really necessary? Amber HATES to
travel and the procedure is expensive. I would prefer to wait if it
isn't really needed.

Amber is a very "personal" cat. She loves to be petted and skritched
but the only way I could look at her gums would be to take a quick look
when she yawns. Over the years the orange pigment has turned partially
black (normal for orange cats). Her breath is not bad (before her
dental last year her breath was foul).
