Abstract
Given the individuality and specificity of each patient's conditions and background, oral hygiene instructions, if uniformly prescribed to every patient, may not serve their purposes. In the current trend of dental practice personalized care as to meet each patient's need is becoming increasingly important. Discussed in the present paper are cases of patients with different symptoms and chief complaints such as tooth erosion and dentin hyperesthesia and also different methods for different gingival conditions. Introduction of a new tooth cleaning method—with glycine powder—is also included.
