dental cleaning -- when and how frequently?

My last dog (16 year old mixed breed) got her teeth cleaned under a general when she was about 9) That was the one and only time. Her teeth were checked at each Vet visit and I was told she only needed the one cleaning. She got a massive case of diarrhea after (the correlation/causation question). That lasted for about 3 days. I'm in no hurry to put Rhonda (Spoo) through a general, but I will if it's suggested.
 
I suppose, for most people, their Poodle (Standard or otherwise) will have an annual exam (biannual, or whatever). As part of that, teeth will be checked. If the Vet thinks it's necessary, they will suggest a cleaning. They should also show and explain why. So, one can bite the bullet and submit to a GA or not.
