What is the preferred method of tooth brushing after coronal polishing?

Using a soft-bristle toothbrush is recommended after coronal polishing because it minimizes the risk of damaging the newly polished enamel. Following the polishing procedure, the surface of the teeth is smoother and more sensitive, making a soft-bristle toothbrush an ideal choice to gently clean the teeth without causing abrasion or irritation to the gums and enamel.

Soft bristles are designed to provide effective cleaning while being gentle enough to avoid harming the tooth surface, especially right after a procedure that may temporarily increase sensitivity. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including the use of a soft-bristle toothbrush, helps to prolong the effects of the polishing by preventing the accumulation of plaque and stains on the freshly polished surface.
