@disappointed_idealist Periodontal cleaning (scaling and root planing in the USA) depend on a lot of factors - general health, smoking, immune status, etc. We generally split a whole mouth into two different visits so that one side is available for eating. Most patients report a couple of days of pain/soreness depending on the severity of the pocketing and calculus. People who have had perio cleanings are suggested to have more cleanings per year.

Dental patient tip #1
A really good way to annoy a dentist or hygienist is to cross and uncross your legs while they are working.
The movement also moves your head, which is unexpected at best and could be harmful depending on what sharp tools they might be holding.
Do you fidget a lot? Bring a stress ball for your hand! The movement is much less intrusive to those trying to care for you. They will appreciate it.
