Both are correct and natural. I would say
"I often have my teeth cleaned in order to remove the plaque (or to have the plaque removed)."
I don't like the word "get". It's perfectly good English, and it is fine in many common expressions. The problem is that the word simultaneously means everything and nothing. There is usually a better word to use.

Both are correct but second one sounds more accurate.
