Will brushing dental crowns scratch them?

Brushing dental crowns will not scratch them when done properly. Crowns are made from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic that are designed to withstand daily brushing. However, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste is important, as overly abrasive products or hard brushing over time can cause minor surface wear. Gentle, regular brushing helps keep crowns clean and protects the surrounding natural teeth and gums.
