| Pros of coronal polishing | Patients like the smooth feeling and clean appearance and may motivate patients to maintain good oral hygiene The tooth surface may absorb fluoride better if debris is cleaned off |
| Pros of coronal polishing | Removal of surface stain makes teeth appear cleaner, whiter, and brighter |
| Cons of coronal polishing | Abrasive agents may increase areas of sensitivity, especially along the gum line Small amounts of enamel are removed by the abrasive during the polishing procedure |
| Cons of coronal polishing | Newly erupted teeth may not be completely mineralized, abrasive could remove a small amount of enamel Areas of the tooth not covered by enamel (i.e. cementum, dentin, areas of demineralization) can be damaged and cause increased sensitivity |
| Cons of coronal polishing | Using incorrect abrasive can damage restorations such as gold crowns or porcelain veneers |
