I can tell you this won't work but a cleanup with an electronic plaque remover used monthly will Def. Get you off the "deep cleanup" and the floss floss floss lecture everytime.

It won't prevent you from needing a deep cleaning (in cases where you actually need it). Deep cleanings are necessary when the inflammation from poor hygiene has caused you to lose bone in your jaw and the pockets underneath the gums have deepened to the point that food is getting stuck in them and hardening (causing more of the inflammation mentioned above). In those cases you need to be numbed to have the hardened food scraped out by a professional.

I gargle 200 grit sandpaper and never had a cavity. Can your so-called "professional" education explain that?

Can't get cavities if you ain't got teeth

Nice input, also I didn't mention that brushing daily specially before bed and having a couple of flossers to kill time in traffic are part of my routine.
