About the "there shouldn't be pain during cleanings", that's simply not the experience of most people. If you have even a little bit of gum disease, your gums will certainly be sore afterwards.
Heh, I am reminded of the time I was unfortunate enough to schedule a cleaning while the lady responsible for such things (the title escapes me at the moment) was freshly going through a divorce. She apparantly felt the need to "talk" about it, and had pretty much a captive audience in me. She also didn't take care to keep her anger out of my mouth, so to speak. I was a bloody mess afterwards, and obviously in a great deal of pain. I felt constrained to speak to the dentist about it afterwards. Ugg.
