Just started 3 weeks ago and had receding bleeding gums and painful and loose teeth. in 2023 they said they would deep clean ($2000) and then see what happens - I didn’t do that. Then I stumbled upon Dr Ellie’s video last month and tried her regimen and within the first week the sensitivity to hot and cold stopped and then the bleeding went away. I personally recommend Dr Ellie’s videos and website. Most dentists would only want to do filling and X-rays but not have a plan to help you keep your mouth and teeth healthy. But Dr Ellie is a great dentist and a blessing to us all. Please keep up your amazing service to humanity. Eternally Thankful 🙏

[@garyhennessey3621]

Started her complete system in dec 2023. Sitting at the table talking to my wife two days ago she said your teeth are getting whiter. At 70 thats a great compliment. This system works. I never brushed my teeth two times a day and never used any of these products. So it makes total sense this is happening.

For those who are hesitating to try Dr. Ellie's system I am here to report that her protocol works; I started it on Oct. 20, 2023 so half a year ago and I just had my dental appointment last week ( btw I go for check-ups once a year) and I have NO CAVITIES , my receeding gums are healing and don't bleed any longer, not to mention that my teeth are getting brighter and brighter every single day. At 58 that's something to be proud about. For newbies here, give yourself at least 3 months and If I can improve my oral health which impacts overall health anybody can so good luck 🙂 Dr. Ellie I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for educating us on this subject. 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤ Forgot to mention that during this check-up I decided not to go for scaling and so called cleaning of my teeth because as the dentist told me they look fine.

I started Dr. Phillips' night routine in December 2023. Four months later my teeth not only feel better, I have less discomfort from de-mineralization because I am building my teeth back up. Bonus: I keep getting compliments on how nice my teeth look. I am in my 60's and I want to keep my teeth until I'm 100 and I know that I'm on the right path. Keeping my am/pm toothbrushes separate to decrease the bacterial count down, too. Thank you for caring and sharing your sound advice, Dr. Phillips.

Been doing Dr. Ellie's routine now for 2.5 months.. its been miraculous. I used to have plaque build up easily, especially due to my permanent retainer bar on the bottom teeth. No matter how much i flossed and brushed.. nothing worked great until I tried her system. Thank you for sharing this info Dr Ellie!!

[@Padraigp]

I had that from taking vitamin k 2 supplements. No more plaque!

[@francineclave2207]

It was flossing that started me thinking after 30 years why aren’t my pockets ever getting better? I thought, isn’t flossing pushing debris deeper into my gums? I learned about Dr. Ellie’s system in July 2023 and it made so much sense I put it right into practice. In two more months it will be a year and I am going to a new dentist to get my teeth and gums examined (not cleaned!!!!). My teeth feel so smooth now and I have had no gum bleeding at all. I can’t wait to see what they say! It’s not about the money…. It’s about my health!

[@JA-vv8wy]

I’ve been doing her system for almost a year due to gum recession & my gums are growing back up the teeth!! I’m so excited. They seem to grow back from the back of the teeth, then up the sides in between the teeth, and lastly up the front. One of my problem places has almost completely healed (she says to consider receding gums like a wound which is why I say heal).

[@1282louise]

Really? That is amazing. Because they always say gums dont gtow back. How do you brush. I sometimes use an electric toothbruah and sometimes a manual brushes both harder and softer but dont know whoch is best for sensitive gums.

[@christinechan3902]

Wow.... This is so encouraging. I have yet to see mine grow like yours. I'm really looking forward. Been doing her system for 3months now... When did u actually see results start kicking in? Do share more.

[@JA-vv8wy]

@@christinechan3902 it definitely was a slow process and took more than 6 months of diligence to see a difference. I’ll have my next teeth cleaning coming up and that will mark a year so I’ll be interested to see that the dental hygienist says. At my last one they didn’t say anything about my gums but did say that all of the vertical lines in my teeth from clenching my jaw were gone. I did not mention to them that I was trying a new mouth routine because I’m waiting to hear them say something about it first.

[@christinechan3902]

@@JA-vv8wy Thank you so much for your prompt reply. In one of her latest videos, I remembered Dr Ellie mentioned to regrow gums it will probably take a period of at least 6months- New Strategy. Do check it out. Well, although it was a slow process your diligence did pay off. Congrats to you that your gums have been fully restored. So proud of you. ❤️😊😍

[@francineclave2207]

Very soon I will go for my first dental appointment since starting Dr Ellie in July 2023. It will be one year. I used to go every THREE months! I will try to remember what you said about healing from back to front. Very interesting! I have had pockets of 4-6 for 30 years! My favorite part of her mouth care system is brushing my gums all over my mouth! I picture them healing and getting stronger every time I do and knowing I don’t have to floss. I HATED FLOSSING!

[@lindas.1751]

One day, dentists will listen and adopt what Dr. Ellie has been teaching. I wish we grown ups could go back in time to avoid a lot of the damage caused by dentistry. I hope my grandchildren can benefit from these approaches, along with other young people. Seems like our bodies have a lot of sense, if we could just stay out of the way better.

[@kjbrocky]

No, they won't.

[@MrGeary08]

It wont happen without some big changes, the entire healthcare industry in the US is designed for profit. Why tell you how to take care of your teeth properly when they make money every time you come in? The internet and social media allow people like Dr Phillips to break through to the masses. If enough people get educated then something can change. This spans across most topics, not just oral care. She reminds me of Martin Riese who educates people on drinking water and how purified water is a waste of money. I truly wonder what other ares of life have a Martin or Ellie with life changing information.

[@mjplate1311]

I started almost 2 weeks ago - I'm doing everything exactly as recommended. I had major bleeding when brushing, even when brushing lightly. I've always loved anything acidic or citric, and I didn't realize how much I was damaging my teeth and gums. My mouth feels amazing now, teeth are less sensitive, breath is better all day, gums have stopped bleeding so much, and teeth are already looking whiter and brighter. I'm blown away tbh. Even my gums are already looking way healthier, being repaired. I'm so glad I found this chanel, my teeth and gums were in bad shape and I was very worried because I'm only 41 ☺️ thank you Dr. Ellie 🙏🙏

[@hilltopview3449]

I started Dr Ellie's program in November 2023 I've turned 6. I had receding gums and very sensitive teeth. I have noticed my gums have grown back, the sensitivity was eliminated and my teeth are whiter. I haven't been to the dentist in 12 months, but will probably check in soon so they can see the difference in the gums. I recommend her protocol highly and only wish I had started earlier.

[@mtgoxwall]

I eliminated sugars for ~3 years (did a carnivore diet) - the plague was caked on, came back as fast as I removed it. So in my experience, eliminating sugar didn't really help much at all. Been doing the mouth care system (usually only once per day, before bed, i admit + plenty xylitol) for ~12mo now and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. No more plague at all. Gums looking healthy (horrible mess before). No more gay flossing, if there's something between my teeth I remove it (without having to bother my gums) with one of those plastic piks which looks like a small pipe cleaner. I prayed for help to fix my teeth, found this dentist's vids shortly after - could see results almost immediately. TY Dr Ellie, forever grateful!

My dental health was really a huge mess. Already had many fillings and was facing root canals , crowns, extractions.. Some teeth my be too far gone but if you start this early enough and are consistent, you may be able to save a lot of your teeth. It's been a miracle for me. I actually feel quite good about my teeth now which is so damn nice.

[@lynnatk50]

I went carnivore and the backs of my bottom incisors were awful, much worse than usual. The hygienist wasn't happy, though she did say that the pockets around my top teeth were much improved. Reading comments on other channels, I think the plaque problem could actually have been oxalate dumping! Worth investigating. Interested to find out more about this lady's teeth cleaning programme!

[@mtgoxwall]

@@lynnatk50 That's what I was attributing it to at the time (oxalate dumping) but I was 2-3 years in (moderately strict) and still seeing it as bad as ever. When I started doing this system, it stopped within days.. I now think it was particular bacteria causing it and when I dealt with that, it stopped.

this lady knows what she's talkin' 'bout. since I have not figured out a way to stop eating or drinking, I simply buy her Zellies in bulk. oh btw, they are delicious

[@dionline88]

I began using your system several months ago after seeing your videos. When I try something I go all in, exactly, so I can never second-guess myself by saying I followed it 90% of the way. Nope, all in. So I did that but left out a key element, the xylitol. I had some mints that have xylitol but what if it wasn't enough? So I ordered two flavors of Zellies from Amazon and have begun using them several times thoughout the day. That did the trick! My teeth have become uniform in color and I have far less dark stuff come out when I spit out the Listerine. That's a real eye-opener when you use the Listerine!! What comes out!! I'm scheduled for my next dental cleaning on August 1st and cannot wait to hear what my hygienist has to say. I'll absolutely report back!! Thank you Dr Phillips - you are a God-send!!

[@francineclave2207]

We are just about the same. I started her system end of July 2023 and I am going to a new dentist in July 2024. Get this, my dentist of 15 years ( which is a big office), said it is their policy if I don’t get my teeth cleaned twice a year I cant be patient there. So NOW I have a new dentist. I have been going to a dentist every three months for over 30 years and still had pockets of 4-6. What do they say about doing it over and over and expecting a different result? Well I can’t wait for this exam! And I too am 100% all into Dr. Ellie’s protocol.😉. I love how healthy my mouth feels now.

[@geoc1005]

​@@francineclave2207Wow, that's really something! Clearly your dentist sees you as a commodity bringing money into his office and not a human in need of real care. Such an abhorrent policy! This is very similar to other allopathic requirements that do nothing for our health and only hurt us. Glad you are seeking out a new dentist. Best wishes to you.

Your comment about Listerine being better than floss got my attention. Years ago, I told my dentist that same thing, and he poo-pooed me.

As an oral cancer survivor I kindly ask that you please advise people to still see their dentist at least annually for oral exams even if not getting a cleaning. It is important to check oral health, especially as a screening for oral cancer even before symptoms are detected. I was a non-smoker, no HPV detected, yet a very small peduncular lesion was seen on my lateral tongue and found to be stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma, surgically cured by a partial glossectomy and a modified radical neck dissection to remove lymph nodes. 21 negative lymph nodes was the best -0- on a test I ever received and now I just endure annual surveillance checks with my ENT going on 20 years…we will grow old together!

[@francineclave2207]

Visiting the dentist once a year is Good advise. My dad had tongue cancer and I know how hard it was for him. I agree and plan to get checked once a year for that very reason.

[@KatrinaRegina]

My teeth were so sensitive, then I had a bridge put in and for two months the tooth under my bridge was extremely sensitive and painful. I started using Zellies mints and a modified version of the system (I know Dr Ellie won’t approve of any modifications but the Act was reacting to my teeth so I replaced with Closys at start and end of system) and no tooth pain! It’s been a miracle. I will never stop the xylitol again. Thank you Dr Ellie.

[@boots7859]

Stopping flossing and adding xylitol is not going to magic away pain at all. And if someone gets some metal framing done in their mouth which relies on adding pressure points inside your mouth that you've never had before, its sort of obvious that those parts of the mouth are going to get sore and stay sore until they get used to the new pressure/circumstances. Go ride a bike/horse the next few days for several hours and see how many days it takes before you stop feeling aches and pains... Not washing your feet is not going to reduce the pain, for most sane people.

I feel so thankful that I found your channel and all of your insanely mind blowing information that I can pass along to my daughter. Unfortunately, I had not been doing the correct things (your methods) for my entire life. I thought i had great oral hygiene, but my gums continue to recede and I haven't been to the dentist in 5 years. Additionally, I take a low dose of stimulants to treat my executive functioning issues. I've tried going without, and Im just not able to function in this fast-paced world of individualistic living.. I simply can't keep up. So the medication is a must, for now. Im aware of the effects stimulants have on oral health (raising the ph of saliva, dry mouth, etc) and I do practice correct tongue posture and NEVER mouth breath. I'm anxious to know if I can continue to take my medication without if affecting my teeth/gums in detrimental ways. What would you recommend I do additionally to counter the effects of stims or is your method enough to counter those effects? Thank you so much for spreading this knowledge.

My wife and I have been using your system for a little over 2 months now. Our teeth are definitely feeling smoother. My wife's teeth are white (she used to use whitening gels from the dentist) so no change. My teeth have always been yellow, especially over the last ten years or so. I'm hoping that the system will get them whiter. My back teeth have always been far whiter so I'm hoping over time that my front teeth will become more uniformly white or white-ish. We are using Xylitol after every drink of liquid, meal, or workout (mouth feeling dry). Neither of us had gum disease before starting your system. I do feel like my teeth are a little more sensitive (since using the system) and my gums feel a little raw sometimes. I have always flossed daily and since stopping I only floss a little if there is something caught in between my teeth. But now my gums bleed easily. Interested in how this will evolve. My wife is about to have her 6 month dental checkup/cleaning and we are eager to see what the dentist will find. My check-up will be 3 months from now. Sticking to the system! So, my question is, if the hygienist sees plaque should they remove it? Also, should we allow the hygienist to polish our teeth? Or should we skip that? Does that process remove building enamel? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Unfortunately I have the same side effects of the system.

[@MariaPadilla-tc7xs]

I feel that my gums are healthier using this system, however my teeth seem to have a darker tinge to them. I’ve always been a tea drinker and not sure why this is happening.

[@cheryllyall7217]

Hi. I had severe tooth decay, and my gums were unhealthy. Went to the dentist to fix my issues and 2 tooth extractions, 4 crowns and an ongoing implant later, I found out that the healing wasn't as easy as I anticipated. The dentist wanted me to use listerine mouth wash, but not too excessively because it could impead healing. When I complained about pain in the gums socket, I was given a prescription mouth wash with an applicator to flush out debris and help disinfect. But again, the warning was that over use could actually stop the healing process. You may have to cut back on the listerine a bit. Don't brush your gums so hard or long. And see your dentist about your gums. They might be able to recommend something. By the way, I started using Dr Ellie Philips routine after the dentist finished most of the dental work, and my gums are more healthy. The hardest part is not drinking between meals.

It's something I never thought possible. Thank you so so much.

[@annettearellano9482]

Hi Dr. Thank you for sharing your superb knowledge, I just started your system of cleaning my teeth, but I couldn’t find the xylitol and closys I just have the toothpaste and listerine is there any substitute on the product? I live in Alberta Canada. Thank you and God Bless!

[@gabriellad1725]

Dr Ellie, what do you think of disclosing tablets to track the effectiveness of our tooth brushing?

[@Tyler-yw1hq]

Hi Dr. Phillips, have you heard of the Matador Flatpak toiletry bag? It's made of a breathable material that allows water inside to evaporate through it. I use their bar soap bag and the soap is always dry the next day! I thought it would be cool if you tried it out, maybe it'd be something you could recommend to travellers to improve the conditions of their toothbrushes while on the road.

[@vickis.9363]

Thanks!

Excellent video, wonderful advise, lovely dr. Ellie, but the restaurant music in the background … arrghh 🤕😮‍💨

[@lisawalker650]

Thank you Dr Ellie

[@teach9999]

Dr. Ella, I really love you. You are a wonderful and caring person. I have been using your complete method and it is working. My gums are building up beautifully. My partials have to be readjusted. Thank you so very very much ❤️🌷🌻🌺🌸🌹🤩😀😃🌼💐😍😘

[@zbawieniejestwieczne9013]

@teach good to hear that I am not the only one who benefits from Dr. Ellie's protocol LOL cheers my dear.😊

[@xzxxdss]

I wish I had found you sooner dr ellie, but I'm still young and I will have good teeth decades to come thanks to you, ❤

[@magalyrodriguez7571]

THANK YOU DOCTOR ❤

[@arthurlincoln9093]

I am following Dr Ellie's advice and I truly think my teeth are looking good. OK not perfect after years of smoking, drinking, eating far too much sugar but good enough even with old fillings caused by the aforementioned sins. I do use a soft toothbrush but never floss simply because I cannot be bothered with it. Too fiddly and wasteful. I eat the Xylitol, swill the mouthwash and try to stay away from dentists. Its good enough for me.

[@lizn9324]

@dr.elliephillips First, thank you for your helpful educational videos! I am so glad to have found your channel! I've watched quite a few of your videos and have learned a lot. However, I have some questions that hopefully you can answer them here or make a video to clarify some of these things. 1. You advise not to drink or anything for an hour after eating. Is it ok to drink some water during meals? 2. Flossing: In some videos, you don't recommend flossing. I was shocked to hear this but it makes sense after you explain why. I have some gaps in between some of my teeth that causes food to easily get stuck so I have to floss or use a waterpik because brushing alone won't remove it. Is it ok to floss just the areas that has stuck food? Would you do a video to explain your teeth care routine? It would be helpful to have videos illustrating how to brush properly. Like most people, I am visual and watching an illustration is more helpful than just listening to someone give the instructions. Also do you have a video on dental cysts? A shadow was found on my husband's x-rays and doctors are concerned. If you have a natural protocol, I would love to know what it is. Thank you so much!!

[@lisabeeke7162]

I so appreciate Dr. Ellie sharing this information for FREE! One question: is there anyone who finds xylitol aggravates your tongue (as though you have eaten too much pineapple) or cause some reaction (headache). Thank you.

[@irishphilly]

Along with the affirmative approach of using a few products that work together, I so appreciate that none of Dr Phillips lessons are judgmental or what didn't happen. It is refreshing to just start where the patient is & keep moving. The 'Bad Dog' stigma some dental staff deliver is a debilitating choke chain of shame--so counter productive. This protocol w/ my teeth has sparked my own sense of connection in general. TY.

[@geoc1005]

I believe dentists do that to push the responsibility back onto you because they do not know how to heal you. Maybe on a subconscious level they know that and that they are just using you as a tool to make money. Blaming you is a way of making them feel better about themselves.

[@elvinparker3367]

Dr. Ellie what about the use of biotene dry mouth moisturizing spray or rinse. Would you recommend this. Thanks

[@gabechowanetz3259]

Hi Dr Ellie. I have had some fillings before I saw your videos. Can the toothpaste and xylitol mints help or do I need the complete system?

[@victoriabiel5861]

I have watched all your videos (several times), bought your book, and read through it carefully. I have also pre-ordered your forthcoming book. I purchased the exact products you recommend (including the toothbrushes) and followed the routine precisely. After three months I noticed that my teeth were in a terrible condition. Since I did not miss or alter any step in your system or substituted any of the products, I honestly don't know what went wrong. I am still continuing your dental system, but I have had to include my Waterpik and traditional flossing as I did in the past. After a month, my teeth look much better. I will be seeing my dentist and hygienist next week and I'm feeling a little apprehensive as they may see a decline in the condition of my teeth. Is it possible that some of us require additional steps in your system to keep our oral/dental health at an optimum condition?

[@cadetherapper6008]

Myself, husband, 12 yo son, and 72 yo mom have been using Dr. Ellies complete mouthcare system since February 2024. The results speak for themselves. It works. Period. We will never stop using her system as our mouths have never felt so healthy. I just reordered all the supplies so we didn't run out! Thank you, Ellie, from the bottom of my heart ❤️

[@Tyler-yw1hq]

Hi Dr. Phillips, I'm still nervous about using Listerine. Is it ok to replace Listerine with a xylitol solution instead? Listerine and xylitol kill the same bacteria, right?

[@aaliyahdib]

Just got my complete teeth system today and after just one use of it my teeth feel SO clean! Excited to see how using it everyday will go☺️

[@barbaramoor391]

I bought xylitol powder and holding it in my mouth for 10 minutes when at home. I use zellies when away from home. Is that ok?

[@ginginfarragher9932]

I just watched this super helpful video. I do the regimen, but have not done the xylitol mints right after the fluoride rinse… -right before sleep. I thought the fluoride rinse was supposed to have time to sit on my teeth for awhile. So, can I safely say, xylitol mints do not disrupt? interrupt? the fluoride rinse process? ~OR, Do I still need time in between the two? ('Like 30 minutes?) I appreciate any feedback. 🙏

[@josgratitude9501]

I appreciate your advice Dr. Ellie. My teeth and gums are healthier. My concern is my local chain stores in the USA have stopped carrying ACT anticavity on the shelf? I did find it on Amazon. If needed is there a substitute for ACT anticavity? Thank you!

[@malarvizyperumal8829]

Thank you as I have receding gums and going to give this a try 🙏

[@naji465]

I just use a spoonful of xylitol in granular form right out of the bag

[@kathleenking47]

Xylitol also helps against mosquitos, head lice, and bedbugs Ingested They can't smell it..and it's DEADLY for them I found this out by accident The film on teeth Helps protect them After xylitol

[@kathleenking47]

2:55 It's also during menses, with some women, that saliva gets acidic As well as pregnancy

[@brandocommando36]

I just put a big scoop in my coffee lol and salt to make less acid

[@suzannaahmed5084]

Hello ma’am, could you please explain more about xylitol and bed bugs and mosquitoes? How did you discover this?

[@suzannaahmed5084]

@Kathleenking47

[@TrainerInTraining]

@dr.elliephillips Hi Dr Phillips. I work outside in the desert heat and the tropic. (Florida, Texas and Nevada). I really have to sip (chug) water many times constantly throughout the day. Is the solution to just take a mint each time? Or, can I make a xylitol water? mix the powder in a gallon of water or something...?

[@SleeplessinOC]

Honestly , I would not purposely swallow xylitol . Chew the gum to get the xylitol “juices“ onto the teeth for the benefit but then try to spit out the accumulation of saliva that’s mixed with xylitol after a few minutes . Xylitol is harmful to the liver , kidneys and health over time . Look it up. Good for teeth but not something I would eat or cook with .

[@RJ-hs8ch]

There’s not way to ask a dentist: “ do I need a cleaning ? “ obviously the Doctor will say: yes “you need it every six months” That’s their business 😂

[@jackiewatts9115]

lol- If you get glowing reviews, eventually you have a case for yearly, then 2, 3yrs…

[@francineclave2207]

My OLD dental office said when I postponed my “cleaning” if I don’t get my teeth cleaned twice a year I can’t be a patient there. I now have new dentist and they are very excited to have me and see what’s what. There are good dentists!

[@saraa2216]

Thank you so much. Can I use salt water after mouthwash in your routine ? Closys and ACT can not be found where I live

[@elijah1554]

Hi Dr.! What do you think of Sensodyne Repair and Protect with Novamine? Is it safe and good?

[@apebblemaster4570]

9:17 How can you tell if dairy IS breaking down and forming the fermentable lactic acid you mention?

[@KH.987]

Thank you Doctor Ellie. I’ve done your system 4 month so far. My question is : Before bed time, we need to clean the teeth and Xylitol, which one goes first. As after xylitol or clean the teeth, we cannot eat or drink. (I am going to see my dentist shortly to see the treatment result.)

[@lm4936]

It would be great if you could ask whether or not you need a dental cleaning and get an honest answer. I somehow think you would always be told you do, because when it comes right down to it, you are dealing with a business whose aim is to make money. And what business is going to turn away revenue.

[@lizabetx483]

Hi Dr. Ellie. Can brushing with CloSYS toothpaste be used as a replacement for the mouthwash. I live outside of the USA and ordering bottles of mouthwash is way more expensive than tubes of toothpaste.

[@lindagraves9404]

Why do you recommend a xylitol mint rather than gum before bed? I avoid the mints due to Magnesium Stearate in the mints.

[@milheg5622]

Hi Ellie, could you recommend substitute of your complete dental care for EU? Thx

[@movingtoboiseid]

This stuff works. Best Dentist in the country

[@The1313jeff]

Good advise! 🤗

[@asweetiepiebtw2032]

well it has been perhaps 3 weeks on Dr. EP protocall. i had a cleaning apt in my book well before i started this . i went a few days ago and my hygienist said such wonderful things about my teeth! i couldn't believe my ears. she kept saying how good they looked. 3 weeks? YES. only 3 weeks. I am 70 . i had gum disease a few years back after covid ended. it was a nightmare to go through. now i brush my gums or massage them really. got all the rinses, the proper brush & creast that Dr. EP suggests. xylitol gum. 6 months ago or so A tooth chipped so we shall see what happens. WHAT DOES THE DR. SUGGUST FOR THAT?

[@TF-xc5hp]

Hello, Dr. Ellie I have a question My doctor told me that my previous doctor left decay under fillings.. Do I need to open the filling to get rid of the decay or should I just keep doing your mouth care system and wait for decay to be gone?

[@DannySabraArt]

Thank you! I have a question: is rinsing your mouth with water and sea salt a good way to help remineralize your mouth?

[@googlefiber3627]

Love this lady!

[@mattski1979]

What's the .5 percent fluoride you recommend I swish with. I've been doing the xylitol thing for like 3 weeks. I have a cavity on a bottom tooth. Can't afford the dentist right now so this is my wing and a prayer thing. You really, really, really seem like you're super nice. I really hope this works. If only to build a stronger tooth before I go and get this filled. Thank you for your videos.

[@Padraigp]

Cavity removal costs a lot less than root canal go to the denist immediately and get it sorted ....if you cant afford it now you sure as hell cant afford whats coming if you dont deal with it.

[@Pastelle93]

Dr Ellie, does the regular use of mouthwash in crease blood pressure?

[@perfectlyimperfect1733]

Ma'am is that possible to cure small crack in teeth? Does remineralization help for this problem?

[@nickyhansen4034]

Have someone ever noticed there translusent teeth got enamel back after using xylitol long term? Some times when i look in the mirror does it look like the enamel comes back, but i'm not sure if it's just an illusion. Can someone tell me what's going on?

[@oliebass]

How to do you recommend consuming xylitol/eurythritol? I have been using gum (only 100% xylitol), but I also enjoy coffee. Could I use eurythritol/xylitol as a sweetner and have a similar effect? I know you once said mixing into food items can alter the effectiveness of its usage, but surely it would still be better than using refined sugar as it would not feed the bacteria as much?

[@kathy.7475]

I just started today but have a question about tooth brushes. I have used a Soni Care for many years. It greatly improved my dental health. Is this advisable to continue? It has a soft gum care setting.

[@jgrrr9047]

Dr Ellie, my recession may be due to large EXOSTOSES on the sides of my gums... Seems the gum tissue is spread thin. It also hurts to brush over them. Is massaging them still recommended and can the pockets still improve? Thank you

[@rawchelle23]

I started using Dr. Ellie's mouth care system, but not complete yet, last March 1, 2024, and I feel so much better. I cannot find Closys and Act here in the Philippines. I just found Active mouthwash. So I wonder if could use it and have similar results..

[@roxannelevesque1640]

Hi I just had tooth removed top left it was dead so had to remove. My question is how soon after can I start back on my tooth cleaning routine? It’s been four days now and I want to get back to your tooth cleaning routine

[@emmy6956]

Is there *any* natural tooth protector other than Act rinse?? My mom is hesitant to try it, but is ok getting the original Listerine. Would xylitol do the same? I realize you need to follow up the Listerine with something, so I just wondered if xylitol might do it. :)

[@MechLeander]

I am experiencing these brown spots on my teeth after a few months following the protocol. Looks like someone painted a brush stroke of coffee color here and there. Especially between my teeth where I used to floss. My teeth feel fine though. Much less sensitive and no bleeding gums. Would be reassuring if there was a video that explains side effects to expect when following the protocol.

[@jgrrr9047]

Do you recommend the Fuchs brushes as much as the Mouthwatchers kind?

[@karent.8245]

Just beginning system but the videos seem to alternate on what type of toothbrush to use. Mouthwatchers toothbrush, not too soft of a brush, brush vigorously, don't brush vigorously. Help which is it?!

[@user-dq6hm2fq2k]

My husband and I are doing your complete mouth care system and I am amazed at the results! Is this system appropriate for kids and what age would you start? Also, what is your advice for kids with braces? Could they do your system?? Should they use a water pick?

[@jackiewatts9115]

She said she started her kids at age 6. Once they can follow directions correctly. She doesn’t recommend water picks.

[@yinman2431]

Hi Dr Ellie, I have been following your programme for a month , my teeth feel so smooth I''m very grateful thank you! One question I have, a few weeks after using your system I now have black ink looking marks on my teeth and up against the gum line on top of those white lines, (plaque?) which dentists said the white marks could never be removed. It now looks like my mouth is filled with black ink. I wondered what this is and is there anyway of removing it, I'm really worried this is permanent. Really appreciate your thoughts!!

[@dr.elliephillips]

It takes 6 months of the regular use of xylitol to eliminate plaque from your teeth and from your saliva. Prior to that - and especially in previously heavily plaque-infected mouths - this plaque may be stuck to your teeth and then get stained. It brushes off but not with electric brushes or most brushes that are too soft. The other reason can be if you are only using the system once a day. Always brush your teeth right before sleeping - but it is necessary to find another time - when you do not eat or drink for 1-2 hours afterwards. Are you brushing vigorously with the MOUTHWATCHERS brushes that I recommend? If not - you need to get these brushes - and store the brushes - so that they dry for 24 hours between uses - then they will not get too soft. Here is an Amazon link: a.co/d/gCcuqy8 If this is not enough to get the stain off those areas - then try mixing some granular xylitol crystals ( 1/2 teaspoon) with 1 squeeze of the Crest toothpaste. Aim at these areas with this more exfoliating toothpaste-xylitol mixture. Most stains will come off in a few days of doing this. Here is a link to the granular xylitol on Amazon - this one comes in little individual packets. Half a packet will work each time. a.co/d/7FYSnpU These are superficial stains - this is old plaque still attached - and for some reason it did not get brushed off well enough. it happens a lot and I am trying to help people figure this out in advance. Just give your brushing some vigor - and I am pretty sure you will get this to go away easily. I'd love to know how quickly you remove this! Comment attachment

[@IngleseconAnna]

What about the electric toothbrush? I've been using one for almost two years because my dentist recommended it. Previously, another dentist had recommended a soft brush. So, I would alternate between the two because the electrical one seemed too harsh even at the lower speed. So, should I keep using it or not? Thanks for the great content.
