Do THIS Before Brushing Your Teeth - Step 2 of My Complete Mouth Care System

[@wowclassic1]

I've been on periomaintenance with regular dental care usually every 4 months but never more than 6 months between visits for years. I've had lots of ups and downs with pockets. Now I'm hitting menopause and have had on and off bouts of dry mouth which just seemed to be making my gums feel awful. I came across your videos about a month ago and figured I'd give it a try. I haven't been perfect about doing the system, sometimes I forget to use closys first for example but what I have done is every time I drink coffee or tea, I brush and use closys. I've also been using the xylitol mints during the day. Well, this morning I had a dental visit and the first thing my hygienist said looking in my mouth was "Oh! Wow! This is better!". Not every pocket saw improvement but I had some 5's down to 3's and some 3's down to 1's. So, I'm just hoping to continue with good habits and hopefully slowly see improvement. Just wanted to share this for anyone who might be on the fence about trying this.

[@dr.elliephillips]

Fantastic and congratulations for taking the first step. I encourage you to dive in now for the next gap between dental visits and blow your hygienist away.... you may need to take my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye with you - LOL! You need the other rinses to achieve ultimate oral health - Closys is good - but it is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. Xylitol is preventive and will help you prevent the ongoing problems.... But the rest of the specific "ingredients" work like the ingredients you need for baking a cake...Just use two ingredients and mix the flour with water and you will get a result ...but not the cake :) I have an oral health bootcamp on my website at DrEllie.com which you may find useful - where lots of people like you took the plunge and share their questions and their stories. So glad to hear from you and yeah for you! Please tell us more after your next dental appointment in 6 months. Oh - and always do the Complete Mouth Care System right before your dental appointment - so your teeth will be gleaming.......

[@gratitudetouniverse777]

@wowclassic1 How long where you doing the complete mouthcare by dr ellie ? My periodontist said I have gum disease also. I am hoping that I can have improvement in my pockets. It will be awhile to get to improved but I am starting my complete mouthcare 4 days ago. How do you do the xylitol mint ? Do eat like candy or melt in your mouth ? Thank you for your answer.

Hey what ur opinion! 🙌🏻🙌🏻😄

[@sustainablelife1st]

your system obviously works. I too never go to the hygenist, but my personal protocol is very different. I have 0 plaque, 0 tartar. no pockets. 70 yo. I am not a dentist, so I would never tell someone how to treat themselves. But my main secret weapon, for me, is xylitol toothpaste. I never ever intentionally put fluoride in my mouth. Nor do I use any disinfectants, such as chlorine dioxide.

[@aweoak7763]

That Fluoride is something that many do NOT use, including me.

[@stephenfeldman8104]

@dr.elliephillips, In your book "Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye " you write, "I suggest anyone with deep pockets try vigorous 2-3 minute rinsing with unflavored Closys, the first cleansing rinse in my complete mouth care system." In this video, though, you recommend allowing the Closys to "bathe" the gums and not to swish it around. Maybe ultimately it's a distinction without a difference, but if you read this I would appreciate your comment.

Thank you for reporting back - it is such encouragement to other people who often think this is an odd approach....but it works every time :)

[@sawyerandrobbie]

@@dr.elliephillips It is odd but I was flossing too vigorously and hurting my gums. I also realized when getting a cleaning the technicians would barely floss, and I would wonder how what they were doing could be working. It was such a joy to stop. Also, with xylitol I’ve noticed no tarter buildup. It is stopping! Thank you so much!

[@sawyerandrobbie]

As an aside, oil pulling never stopped the calculus buildup. I had been oil pulling for years but stopped upon starting your protocol.

[@dr.elliephillips]

@@sawyerandrobbie I don’t think oil pulling ever stops teeth breaking or stops fillings needing to be replaced - which can eventually lead to root canals and crowns. I believe there’s a place for oil pulling perhaps but not as you get older and not if you have any kind of dental problems.

My teeth didn’t feel strong and when I ate anything they always felt like they could break at any time. Well, they already feel stronger and I am very hopeful! Thank you

[@dr.elliephillips]

My system is going to help you avoid many problems going forward - but it cannot bring a dead tooth back to life Dead teeth are beyond the help of my Complete Mouth Care System. Teeth take many years- and usually suffer a lot of abuse before they die. A dead tooth must be treated - do not leave the infection rotting inside your tooth. A root canal should be performed by an endodontist - a specialist in this field. If you do that - you will find having a root canal is easy and trouble free. There is a lot of fear-mongering on the Internet about root canals - sponsored (I believe) by the Implant industry. A good endodontist will do a root canal quickly and effectively - so do not ignore this dead tooth. My system cannot help a dead tooth. Sorry.

[@sl4983]

Have you had a fluoride treatment done at the dentist in the past few years?

[@sl4983]

​​@@dr.elliephillipsThank you for the reassurance about root canals and endodontists. What if a tooth that has been mentioned as possibly needing a root canal, stops hurting completely?

I have a history of great oral care and dental visits. I started Dr. Ellie's Complete Mouth System as preventative as I get older and also hoping it might whiten or lighten my teeth color. Since starting this system about 10 days ago and doing it religiously as instructed, I have developed an ulcer on my tongue and I'm wondering if it is from the rinses, especially Listerine. I have no other reason why it would be there - I did not burn my mouth with hot foods or bite my tongue. Also, a few days before the tongue ulcer appeared, I felt the texture in the roof of my mouth changed - I could feel a slight texture there rather than the surface of the roof of my mouth being smooth as it had been before. I tried to contact someone on Dr. Ellie's website, but I did not see a way to do it.

It’s a lot to remember. I bought the wrong closys bottle and I could tell something was wrong. I’m glad I caught it early rather then later.

Hello Dr. Phillips, Thank you for your informative content. It would be wonderful if you could compile a list of mouthwash brands and toothpaste options available in continental Europe, not just in the UK. With the exception of Listerine, the other brands you suggest are not widely found in Europe or are costly. Alternatively, a more convenient solution, which would require less effort, might be to provide us with a list of recommended ingredients for all the products you recommend in your oral health routine.

Step 1: Closys rinse for 1 minute. No need to swish it around, just bathe all your teeth in it (do not rinse out with water). Step 2: Brush/massage gums, then brush teeth, with Crest regular anticavity toothpaste. Spit the blob of foam out into the sink, but do not rinse with water! Step 3: Vigorously swish with Listerine for 30-45 seconds; squish it through your teeth. It is liquid flossing, and another purpose of it is to rinse the toothpaste off your teeth.

And if one has a retainer or invisalign, how Long should one wait to put it in again After the xylitol. After ACT you Said 15 min, Same for xylitol? Does anyone know in case Dr Elli does not reply herself?

[@lesliefischer6680]

I have been using xylitol now for 11 days and all of a sudden I have saliva again. Like when I was a child. No idea when it changed, but I always remember having a dry mouth. I went through extremely dry mouth in the first 3 days of using xylitol. Looking forward to more changes. :)

I would like to know if this mouthwash kills the bacteria that produce nitric oxide. I have read that some mouthwashes do this, and hence can cause spikes in blood pressure since nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels.

Instead of Closys is swishing with xylitol a good alternative ?

Ues xylitol or the Complete Mouth Care System - depending on your schedule. Ensure you do not eat or drink after using the system - so pick a great time to use that - when you will not eat or drink anything for a few hours afterward.

New here today. What questions should I ask when looking for a new dentist, because I want to dump mine now. Also, why not hydrogen peroxide instead of Closys, as it oxidizes, which is what the Closys does, and I am sure it's cheaper by far.

[@danielsanji]

Unfortunately I can’t get hold of Closys or Ultradex. Since you spoke about this pre-rinse stage as an alkanising process, I was wondering what you think of Therabreath Oral Rinseas an alternative? It has a has a ph of 8.2 and its ingredients are: Water, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Chlorite, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Flavor, Sodium Hydroxide

[@TS50ER]

I cannot get CLosys where I live. Well, I can, but the price is ridiculous. I have Thereabreath. DO you think it can be used at the beginning of the routine instead of the Closys?

[@danielsanji]

I’ve been doing the routine for almost a week minus the closys. I’m going to try keeping that up for a month, and if I can’t get hold of the closys then I’ll try adding in the Therabreath to the pre rinse stage and see what happens.

[@TS50ER]

@@danielsanji I am thinking of using Himalayan Pink Salt instead of Closys. I hope you can keep up the routine for a month and hopefully it will have become a permanent habit for you. All the best.

[@danielsanji]

@@TS50ER Interesting idea to use salt. What made you think of that? I see that salt has a ph of 7. Is the rational to alkanize your mouth? So far I've been going strong. The routine itself doesn't take much time and is quite easy going. The main hurdle so far is remembering to have enough xylotil mints per day. I've been aiming for 12 mints to get that 6 gram minimum. Also, in one of Dr. Phillips other videos, she outlined the healthcare system completely eliminating the Closys pre rinse stage. It made me wonder whether the whole system might work even without the pre rinse.

[@TS50ER]

@@danielsanji Yes, I was thinking that the Himalayan Salt will lesson the acid in the mouth pre-brushing. It also contains a lot of minerals not found in normal table salt that are beneficial for health. Make sure you use Himalayan salt if you are interested in adding this to your routine I chew xylotil gum after every meal. I also chew and shallow a couple of cloves prior to going to bed each night. I'll look for the other video of Dr. P eliminating the Closys. Thanks for the heads up.

[@AISAsoft]

Hi, trying to follow your care system I have been unable to find Closys in my country but looking into the composition and your discussion on its workings, it seems to be basically the chlorine dioxide that is the bacteria killer, you can mix chlorine dioxide diluted in water (keep below 11 degrees -refrigerator temperature- to avoid chlorine dioxide evaporation from the water) with saline solution which I guess you would use to rinse per your suggestion for 30 seconds, chlorine dioxide will evaporate into your mouth as temperature raises due to your body temperature and then it would fill any pocket and crevice in your mouth, chlorine dioxide really disperses very well in just plain water but the saline solution would help stabilize it and improve the pH. Would you consider this an alternative in a place where Closys is not availabe?

[@_Lazare]

Question for you ! Is using Plax , a pre rinsing before brushing any good ? What's your thoughts

[@dr.elliephillips]

It is not my recommendation - as the rinse I recommend achieves several important tasks as an introduction to my specific system. Chlorine dioxide - Closys - works by interacting with saliva to form oxygen - and that is the way I prefer to nudge mouth bacteria in the right direction - not killing them - but changing the environment to one that healthier bacteria prefer. it is a different approach.

Each mint has 1.1g of xylitol. I typically end up taking six of these every day. Initially I thought it was the Listerine because CloSYS is completely tasteless, odorless and colorless. But I did see a few negative testimonials about its use sprinkled around the internet, and so I decided to skip it just as an experiment and indeed, the sensitivity went away almost immediately.

Don’t do that. Do my system or NHA - choose one or the other. You will wreck the synergy. The hydroxyapatite messes with natural remineralization because it forms an external barrier on enamel.

In my system of care, the AMOUNT of each liquid is not important. Getting the right formulation of each liquid is crucial - and there are different ways to "apply" the liquid to your gums/ mouth/ teeth. This means I suggest certain modification of "rinsing" motions - so we bathe the mouth with Closys, rinse vigorously in and out between teeth and possibly gargle quickly with Listerine - but simply coat the teeth with ACT. Just use enough of each liquid to feel comfortable in your mouth - and never more than feels good. if you need to economize for some reason, you will get the same results with smaller amounts than are recommended by the manufaacturers.
