Gum Chewing + Xylitol

[@kenanderson2216]

I never met a dentist that wanted to fix anything or instruct proper care. I have been sold Dental implants for 2 teeth with some bone loss. I have been sold teeth cleaning for $1000.00 for the 12 remaining teeth that I have. In my opinion, dentistry is about the same as the eyeglass industry. I have yet to receive care that has improved anything except the doctors bank account. My teeth have been completely stopped from decaying. Breath is no longer an issue and cavities are receding. Dr Ellie is the one that offers help. Yes the ONE.

I watched this video after being told I have periodontal disease, horrible gums, and will lose teeth. No advice from the dentist, they want to do scaling by the end of this January, 2024. I looked online. Got my first waterpik. Learned online how to use it efficiently, with peroxide. 1. Waterpik, with a drop of peroxide. I still use floss. 2. Bought xylitol in mints. Have those in the day. .56grams per mint. Some brands have over 1gram. 3. Xylitol, once a week rinse. A liquid form. 10% xylitol. 4. Bought an electric toothbrush. Seems to erase coffee and other stains. 5. And still use regular mouth wash. First week, lots of bleeding gums. 2nd week. Two bleeding gums. 3rd week bleeding gums are clearing up fast. 4th week. My teeth look white, not yellow stained. Shiny, seems to be a nice film on my teeth all day. New enamel?Remineralizing? No bad breath. No dry mouth. Gums are pink, not bluish, purple, or dark anymore. Gums feel healthy and alive! Teeth look amazing. Anyways. Only four weeks. Why don't dentists teach any of this??? They only look, give you floss and say bye. I wonder, the last 2 gums still bleed. Will they heal too. Eventually? With this new treatment and routine, I believe so. Update later. My mouth and gums look healthy and I feel better. Thank you.

[@renuzoraladvancedoralhealt7616]

Here's why your gums can still bleed -- if you have gum pockets deeper than 6mm, then usually no amount of rinsing or oral irrigation can reach past 6mm. So, you might actually still need a deep cleaning -- BUT MAYBE ONLY IN SELECTED AREAS, NOT ALL THE TEETH -- Be sure to get your gums probed and maybe get a 2nd opinion too. Most dentists don't have time to tell people everything about dental prevention. But they could hand out listicles or bullet points of links to look up about prevwntion.

[@Lavenderthyme]

I had the same thing happen to me. I stopped my bone loss and gum recession 6 years ago. A additional vital tip I got from a periodontist is to use interdental brushes. They are tiny brushes that go between your teeth, and come in various sizes. I work with 3 different sizes in my mouth. I dip the brushes in xylitol toothpaste and go between each tooth twice a day. This is the only way to get rinses or paste between your teeth to help them. It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it.

Way to go Mark! As the originator of XyliMelts for dry mouth, I've been using xylitol since 1989. Yet 94% of my new patients have never heard of xylitol. And these are people who've had a lot of dental experience. Why dentists are not telling patients about xylitol is a mystery to me. If they truly cared about their patients, they would at least mention it. Yesterday one of my long-time patients told me xylitol gum is the best thing he's done for his teeth since I recommended it. He now buys it by the 1000-piece bag.

My dentist told me today that long-term use of xylitol leads to the growth of xylitol-resistant S Mutans. I then found several research articles confirming this, but some studies state that the xylitol-resistant S. Mutans is less cariogenic than regular S. Mutans, while others state that there is no difference in the cariogenecity of the two. I'm not sure what to make of this new information, and would love to hear your thoughts.

I’m sure when in school they believed that they were being thought the very best in information. Sadly even doctors feel the same way. There are the few that do their own research that really want to solve health problems. American is setup in a weird way, you pay for health and dental insurance, you go to the doctor, they give you a prescription to suppress the symptoms but not cure the cause, the pharmaceutical companies sale you or your insurance pills which you are paying for anyway, and the sicker you get, the more expensive insurance you need, and the hospital run expensive test, the doctor sees you again for fifteen minutes after waiting an hour, and you get more pills! It’s a system that’s killing Americans because the FDA approves refined sugars, sugar substitutes, and hormones for chickens, beef and pork that we consume, and that doesn’t even scratch the surface of the harmful things that other countries have rejected from the U.S. 😮

I've read that xylitol is used by some MDs that treat chronic Lyme. Xylitol breaks up bacterial plaques, inside the body, too. Presumably, by its action of killing bacteria that try and eat it. Bacterial plaques are implicated in the fearful increase in antibiotic resistance we observe these days, so there may be other benefits we don't understand yet.

May I suggest that when chewing xylitol gum, try to retain as much of the xylitol as possible and as long as possible before swallowing it. That way, you can use it plus your saliva as a kind-of mouthwash, AND the gum-chewing sort-of acts like a pump or oral irrigator to push the xylitol/saliva solution into grooves of teeth, between teeth, under gums a little, etc. Also, in this way, by not swallowing it right away, you make the effects last longer AND, if xylitol give you gas, you can just spit it out after a minute or so. If you've ever heard of "oil-pulling", you know what I'm talking about -- BUT -- I would say that doing "xylitol-pulling" would be MASSIVELY more effective and convenient than oil-pulling.

It dissolves very fast as the saliva production is so intense in reaction the xylitol so it’s real easy to the swish it around. I spit and then don’t rinse. Works so far.

[@butterflyprincess4602]

I am a user of xylitol, as explained by Dr Ellie Phillips on its use and benefits, and I can assure you after using it for 5 months, it is the best thing for my teeth. I have noticed my gums are healthier, teeth feel stronger, my teeth always feel clean. I put off getting a root canal that I needed 5 months ago, I don't need it anymore. In fact, I don't think I need a dentist anymore. Check out the pioneer of xylitol use for teeth- dentist Dr Ellie Phillips on youtube. She has many videos. Newer research has shown that the only other sugar that works like xylitol is erythritol, and it is even better than xylitol. I don't use chewing gum though. I dissolve a small amount in water, and after cleaning my teeth after each meal, I let this solution swirl in my mouth and then I swallow. Basically I have xylitol working on my teeth between meals, and in the night .

This video came to my recommendation so I wanted to share my story - my first pregnancy resulted in 8 big cavities which one of them resulted to a root canal and I was desperate and tried almost everything that promised to help save my teeth. Then I discovered xylitol and chew xylitol gums almost everyday during my second pregnancy. Yesterday I got back from the dentist for my yearly appointment and they did some x-rays and I had ZERO cavities and my dentist was amazed and kept asking me what medications do I take and what Ive been doing and when looking at the x-ray he only said this “this is more than good, it looks fantastic” so thank you xylitol gums, the one thing I keep repurchasing over and over 🙏

So encouraging. I was just at the dentist's and he told me that essentially only your gums are affected during pregnancy...which was untrue as I know saliva is acidic during pregnancy and that is a favorite environment for cavity causing bacteria. Stress also lowers body pH with increasing cortisol Needless to say, I began a deep dive into this topic to save my teeth before the next pregnancy. After the third baby I got a giant cavity regardless of the care I put into my teeth. I go to the dentist because I really care for my oral health and it was discouraging to have a big cavity.

After this episode i checked the "natural" toothpaste I'd been using, Burt's Bees and Tom's. Both contain Xylitol. i've made my own natural tooth powder to brush with.

I'm not allergic, I'm just "sensitive" to artificial sweeteners and flavouring, even if it's "natural".

It never occurred to me that I might be absorbing the small amount in toothpaste and thus having skin or tummy reactions... but it might help explain why I can't even "fully" recover as there's always some issue even if I'm eating super clean avoiding all my sensitivities. Thanks for sharing, it's an absolute headache to navigate this ultra processed word with allergies and sensitivities.
