How often should coronal polishing be performed on patients?

Coronal polishing should be performed based on individual needs determined by a dentist's assessment. This approach ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their specific oral health conditions, risk factors, and hygiene practices. Factors such as the patient's age, dental history, and current oral hygiene status are evaluated to decide the necessity and frequency of coronal polishing.

Regular assessments by a dentist allow the practitioner to identify plaque buildup and other concerns that may require coronal polishing. Patients with certain conditions or higher risks for dental issues may need more frequent polishing, while others may not need it as often, if at all. This individualized care promotes better dental outcomes and aligns with the principle of providing the right treatment at the right time, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach to dental hygiene.
