What should be monitored during the coronal polishing procedure?

Monitoring the patient's comfort and reaction throughout the coronal polishing procedure is critical for ensuring a positive experience and maintaining the patient's well-being. During the procedure, patients may experience discomfort or anxiety related to sounds, sensations, or the procedure itself. By keeping a close watch on the patient's body language and verbal feedback, the dental professional can address any concerns immediately, adjusting techniques or equipment as necessary to enhance comfort.

This focus on patient comfort not only fosters trust and cooperation but also helps in minimizing any potential adverse effects. Ensuring that a patient feels secure and at ease can significantly impact their overall experience and willingness to seek future dental care.
