Cold helps vasoconstriction. Warm equals vasodilatation equals more bleeding, and increasing the bloodflow makes it easier for the bacteria that will eventually come through microlesions to go around etc.

Things are in a specific way for a reason most of the time.

Yes because that's where calculus accumulates. It's not a pleasant feeling but it's not an unbearable pain either in my experience.

Indeed, the way worse version of that is having your gum bags cleaned out, it's literally scrapping everything out between your gums and your teeth, one of the more painful things I went trough in my life.

I've had my guns cleaned 50+ times in life. when I tell you it hurt I'm saying it hurt unlike any other time .

you're assuming all pain is the same, all procedures are the same , and that all people experience the same amount of pain for a given proceedure.

not cool. your attitude is actually part of the problem.
