Why You Have Tooth Staining

[@suzanthrasher2447]

yes! Yes!! YES!!! I’ve learned to trust my gut with whom I trust… I believed Dr. Ellie from the start… followed her careful instructions to the letter… and awaken with “happy teeth” every single morning!!! I am grateful for her teachings on “oral health”… it is as powerful as what I have learned about low carb eating… both continue to be transformative.

[@kosherpickle]

i've been following your protocol to the letter for 3 months, and started seeing some staining ... so i used some xylitol granules mixed in with the toothpaste and it 's doing the trick! ... love you dr. ellie! thank you...

[@vickis.9363]

I was the one who put on my reading glasses and examined my teeth in a magnifying mirror, after 3 months of using her protocol. I was horrified to find heavy staining behind my teeth, with strips and dark triangles in between. I contacted her via her boot camp and she explained all of the above. I opted to get a professional cleaning. Took care of the staining of the dead bacteria and it has not returned. I now use xylitol crystals on my toothpaste when I brush. I couldn't be happier with the results...

[@2brnt2b]

Besides following your dental cleaning method, I believe Xylitol really helps strengthening my teeth and somehow it even does magic to my gums - no more gum recession!!! and I especially chew it after eating acidic food.

[@ddhqj2023]

I started using your protocol about a year ago and I'm so happy I found you. My teeth are not only whiter but they feel more solid and less like I'm going to be looking at dentures in the next ten years. I didn't realize that I had gum disease because I've never suffered from bleeding gums, but I finally learned that the growing pockets that no amount of brushing or flossing ever fixed, were also a symptom. Now with learning to massage my gums every time I brush, those pockets have disappeared for the most part. Also I had several teeth where the gums had receded so much that I could see about a millimetre of root showing. I'm thrilled to say that that millimetre of root has moved back up those teeth. Because my gums are tighter now and closer to where they were supposed to be, my back molars also don't feel as much like they're looser than they should be. What's terrible is that at almost 70, no dentist ever taught me how to manage my oral health. They only asked the rudimentary questions (are you flossing and how many times a day do you brush). But they never taught me to brush my mouthguard every day to kill the bacteria on it, never taught how fragile our gum/tooth edge is, never taught me to massage those gums at the base to keep the healthy blood going up to feed the tissue. So thank you Dr. Ellie for teaching us how to have healthy mouths. I'll be forever grateful.

[@RenSilverstar]

I have a lot of root exposure so your story gives me hope, (even though I know it’s not guaranteed that gums will regrow). But I’ve been confused about how we should brush our gums on the program and haven’t yet found an answer clear to me. Should we brush/massage the gums where they actually meet the teeth or do we avoid that and just brush the areas underneath the teeth? I AM brushing the teeth themselves and the gums below the teeth but I’m scared to work the areas of the gums where they meet the teeth because it seems as though doing so has caused more recession and I don’t want to lose any more tissue 😖

[@ddhqj2023]

@@RenSilverstar Here's what I figured out from all the videos I've watched. Brush your teeth first (after the Listerine, etc.), but be gentle. You don't want to push back to vigorously on the tooth/gum edge. Then tuck your brush down at the bottom of the gums furthest away from that tooth/gum edge (where your lip tissue meets the bottom of the gum edge). Brush rather vigorously there. What that does is bring fresh blood into that receded gum and it seems that combined with the Listerine which kills the bad bacteria that leads to gum disease, it reinvigorates the gum tissue so that it can heal. I also do the same on the inside of the gums behind the teeth. A little harder to avoid the tooth/gum edge, but maybe don't be quite as vigorous there. Remember, if you're using the xylitol religiously after eating, the plaque stuff is actually pretty soft so it doesn't take scrubbing to remove it. Good luck, I hope it works for you.

[@chefnedarque]

I don't have the best dental insurance and so I tried this system as a last, very desperate resort. I panicked because I noticed I had dark cavities forming at the rear gumline of a front tooth... after a little over a month following the system daily, the dark greyish black lining on my tooth faded away. Gone! It was either black plaque or an early cavity, I don't know (and don't care now that theyre gone!)So I am gonna keep this going. I hope this helps anyone wondering. I think it takes discipline to change habits, but if it's any extra motivation, the "side effect" of this system is that it helped me meet some fitness and weight loss goals much faster-- during Thanksgiving no less😅

[@lesleyraynor-mike4318]

I was one of those who stopped snd started alrhough I was getting good results. The reasons were financial - the cost to ship Closys to my country was more than twice the purchase price - and the inconsistent availability of a couple of products locally. Well, after experiencing the return of gum inflammation, plaque build-up and sensitivity to cold foods I decided to return to the protocol and do what was necessary to afford the mouthwashes and to not run out of products. Within a month of resuming the protocol there was a significant reduction in gum inflammation, cold sensitivity and plaque. I intend to continue using Dr. Ellie's oral care protocol and I look forward to the results of consistent long-term use.

Thank you, Dr. Ellie! I wish I had known about your system 15 years ago. I have consulted several dentists through the years, but none of them have spoken about xylitol and tooth-protective food. It seems that they don't want to share such info to protect their profits and keep us going back to them. May your tribe increase!

[@mandycrago]

Our mouth bacteria balance is similar to a fish tank. You don't want to clean all the surfaces because there's good bacteria that keeps the tank from crashing and killing all your fish because of an ammonia spike. Our teeth are like the fish. The ph needs to be right to help save the teeth and the fish and protect them🐟❤

[@jsy3359]

Dr. Ellie, Thank you for this video, it couldn’t have come at a better time for me! After some initial hesitation (mostly about using the Listerine) I’ve been doing your system for a month now and immediately saw improvement. I’ve always been fortunate to have good teeth, only one teeny cavity my whole life and I’m in my 40s. However, two years ago I came down with a horrific winter virus. Had the worst fever of my life. Tested for flu and Covid and both came back negative so who knows what it was, but it was horrible. The entire inside of my upper lip broke out in ulcers. Mind you, I’ve never in my life, ever had canker or cold sores. I thought it was just due to the illness/fever/body stress and it would go away but two years later it was still there. Very painful to eat and drink (especially anything acidic), even to talk or to smile was painful. I tried everything and went to so many doctors about this, including my GP, dentist, oral surgeon and rheumatologist. Oral surgeon did a biopsy which came back as inconclusive (possibly autoimmune but rheumatologist found nothing obvious to explain it). After 1.5 years of this, long and behold, I all of a sudden had a cavity on my front tooth right where the ulcers were. I came across your KZbin channel and after watching a few videos it really helped me understand pH balance in the mouth. I’m convinced the acidity in my mouth was through the roof from the time of that illness (that illness also completely messed with my menstrual cycle and I know you mentioned pregnant women have high acidity in their mouth as well). I began using your complete mouth care system and placing the Zellie mints under my upper lip where I would get the ulcers. Long and behold after only one week the ulcers were completely gone. The gum irritation on my upper front by those ulcers is heaps better and I believe, will eventually heal completely. I can actually eat ketchup and red wine and other acidic things now without breaking out in sores and in pain. Two years of pain, heaps of medical bills going to specialists and the answer was right here on your KZbin channel. THANK YOU so much for putting your knowledge out there Dr. Ellie! 🙏🏼 I’m a total believer in your system!

I have been using the system for 4 days now and I feel I have cleaner teeth and my gums feel “lighter”.

Is putting a 1/4 teaspoon of granular Xylitol straight in your mouth after meals, with no water or anything else, just Xylitol, effective for healthy teeth and gums? Do I need more than a 1/4 teaspoon at a time? Also, if only eating twice a day, should I take more granular Xylitol between meals? If so, how many times a day is optimal? Is it best to let the granular Xylitol (no water or anything else) sit in the mouth or swish it around in your mouth for a couple of minutes with the saliva the granular Xylitol produces? I have read that "The regular use of xylitol (5-10 grams spread out over 5 times) reduces plaque and cavities by 50%." and wanted to get your feedback on this as well. Do you really need to take that much and to take it that many times a day?

[@ddhqj2023]

Sure, do that. I actually got a xylitol mouth wash to use for after meals right from my dentist. So a few crystals and your own spit should be perfect. Or you could do what I did which is mix about 2 tsps of xylitol sugar into a small bottle of water and I use that after every meal. I have IBS so I can't swallow xylitol because it causes a flare up but spitting it out seems to be okay.

[@Elizabeth-d1n]

You are still not addressing the issue of Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC), which is a known cause of tooth staining for 3% of the population. These stains are not related to the type or amount of plaque in your mouth, they're a reaction to the actual chemical composition of CPC. Since CPC is in the ACT rinse, the final step of your process that is left in your mouth, we who are unlucky enough to be in the 3% need to find something else without CPC.

Dr. Ellie.. Would you make a video addressing these naysayer 'issues'.. 1. Alcohol in Listerine (don't know if it actually is an issue since the Listerine is only on the teeth for such a short time and neutralized by the ACT rinse).. The 'issues' associated with the alcohol content are: stopping the nitric oxide flow in our mouths.. How long is nitric oxide stopped? Does twice a day practice of your system give it time to come back? ..Also, the killing of good bacteria along with the bad. 2. Naysayers say that flouride is terrible to rinse with...Maybe that concern is because they think flouride is absorbed in the mouth during rinsing? Is it..and is that a problem? Or, is it only the drinking of flouridated water that is a problem? 3. One naysayer put forth that if you have had dental work done (bridges...etc.), that they might be loosened or broken down in some way over time, using your complete system. I have been using your system but these 'issues' continue to worry me. I hope you see this and put them to rest. Thank you.. I really appreciate your clear explanations.

Hi Dr. Ellie. Can you discuss angular impacted wisdom teeth and its implications on gum health and overall health? I’m 22 year old and my xray shows I have 2 mesioangular impacted wisdom teeth in my lower jaw. For context I only have 2 fillings in my mouth, no pulled teeth, root canals, or crowns. I noticed I have either a gum pocket or inflammation forming in between my the second lower left molar and wisdom tooth. I call it a gum pocket because I can floss noticeably deeper in that area compared to the other side of the tooth and compared to the other 2nd molar on that jaw. I have been doing your system for over 2 months + flossing (with toothpaste) + I cleaned up my diet and I am using supplements daily. I also did blood work to rule out autoimmune issues since I was/ am experiencing low grade joint pain. The system + flossing has helped with my symptoms. Aside from the 1 gum pocket/ inflammation occurring around the wisdom tooth and occasional dull jaw pain right where my 2 lower wisdom teeth are, I have no other gum issues. so I don’t believe my issue is gum disease- especially since I am so young… My mom said gum disease takes years to develop + we don’t have a family history of gum disease so she doesn’t think that’s the root issue either. My mother also had serious issues with her lower wisdom teeth and experienced body pain at my age as well. She was occasionally put on antibiotics but never pulled her teeth. Now her wisdom teeth are partially erupted and they haven’t caused her any problem since giving birth to her last child. I will see a surgeon soon to discuss my issue but I was wondering what your opinion is on pulling wisdom tooth? Do you think the positioning of the tooth could cause these issues I’m experiencing? Though I would rather not pull the tooth, I’m particularly concerned about deeper pocketing and body inflammation as these things can develop into something more sinister.

Do this protocol once in the morning and once before bed. Clo sys ultra sensitive brush with Crest cavity Listerine original Act mouth rinse Don't even drink water for an hour or two after doing this. The saliva needs to be undisturbed by other products. Xylitol is ok. Takes a few minutes

[@CarolElliott-k9z]

So if you have this staining, and the hygienist wants to scrape, scrape, scrape to remove stains that’s okay?

I got filling done on my molar. Dentist used articulate paper ( blue paper) to check my bite. It was stuck in my back molar for 3 months. I got scaling done and there is a black line. Like cavity exactly where articulate paper was. Could articulate paper harbour bad bacteria. Can it be the reason for starting of a cavity?

[@mjmj4962]

UPDATE: I did what you said about putting an extra layer of toothpaste before using listerine so my mouth didn't feel so stripped and dry and it helped! Also, diluting the listerine worked as well. Now I can use full strength and produce a lot of saliva . Thank you for the tips!

[@Lina126y]

I have been using your mouth care system but after a couple of months with it I develop sensitivities and I’m not able to brush. What to do??? I also want to know why there is so much controversy among dentists on KZbin. You say mouth wash is good while Dr Bruhenne says ig can kill you., this is all so confusing

[@YourGameSavant]

As a single mom of a teen boy, I am so appreciative, Dr. Phillips, for all of this information. We desperately needed the oral health system and are enjoying daily, looking forward to better and better results. Now this video addresses another big problem we have - sinus issues, as we also live in central Texas. I can't wait to get the xylitol nasal spray today. I had never heard of it but had tried the other sprays without success. May God richly bless you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!!

[@monoracional]

what brand did you purchase? share link ....

[@YourGameSavant]

All I could find for the moment was CVS saline nasal spray with xylitol.

[@Alien2799]

So if someone has deeper stains due to the sports drinks, tannins etc that you had mentioned then as we build up our tooth enamel with your system, aren't the discolorations/stains going to be buried under the new layer of enamel? Do we ever get rid of the discoloration? Thank you!

[@dr.elliephillips]

@@Alien2799 Yes - usually about 6 months

[@Alien2799]

@@dr.elliephillips I meant that the discoloration would be buried PERMAMENTLY under the new enamel. So you are saying that all the discoloration will be pulled out even the deep stuff? I know that the superficial stain will be taken off but what about the deep stuff? Sorry, I am a little confused here. Thank you

[@CamisWelt]

I know what you mean! It takes a while for the tooth enamel to build up again... So substances can still get in or out. The dark spots disappear. I had a tooth that was deep, very dark and now it's all gone.

[@dr.elliephillips]

@@Alien2799 It sounds as if you have been given some confusing information about 'stains" I am not sure where to start because I don't know what you know and don't....very difficult. Best suggestion is to use the strategies I suggest and see what happens.

[@Alien2799]

@@dr.elliephillips HI Dr Ellie, I am sorry my question is not clear. My question regarding stains is ALL from your video. I do not have any other knowledge about stains from anywhere else. Just maybe some of my thoughts :) I am just trying to get some clarification on what you said in your video. That is all. Ok, my question again in a nutshell: Will we be able to get all the stains out with your system? By all I mean not only the black superficial ones from dead plaque but also the deep ones from tannins, coffee etc you were talking about in your video as well? In other words: What does your system whiten exactly? How deep does it go? I hope now it is all clear :) Maybe you could make a video on that topic? that would be great. Thank you Ohh...and are xylitol crystals made from corn OK for swishing in my mouth?

Does anyone know if the toothpaste that says crest regular paste plus is the same as the one with no plus? Did they change packaging?

I also believe that it is the same, but the ingredients are slightly different. “Flaver and titanium dioxide” are missing in the Plus. The company is also the same.

Has anyone hydroxyapatite either with fluoride or in place of fluoride?

[@CamisWelt]

She only recommends "Sodium Fluoride" Hydroxyapatite has nothing to do with her program. With this you put a layer on the tooth, so the enamel has a very difficult time rebuilding itself... or maybe not at all. 😊

[@malkyweinstock5545]

​@CamisWelt are you saying the hydroxyapatite makes it difficult for enamel to rebuild itself ?

[@MikeSmith-rj3bu]

@@CamisWelt hydroxyapatite stops enamel from forming? Are there any studies on this?

[@CamisWelt]

@@MikeSmith-rj3bu Because hydroxyapatite forms a film over the teeth, the enamel is very difficult to treat. If you put on gloves, the hand cream cannot nourish the skin. Google hydroxyapatite!

[@CamisWelt]

@@malkyweinstock5545 Exactly because saliva cannot remineralize from the outside. This acts like protection around the tooth, like a hat 😊

Hello Dr Ellie, I left a comment on your video entitled ‘Heal Gum Pockets & Elimlnate Deep Cleanings’ two months ago. I was really hoping to get a reply from you. Please Dr Ellie would you be so kind to reply back to me. The message I posted was as follows:- Hello Dr Ellie! I have severe periodontitis. For several years now I have been waking up with a lot of blood in my saliva. I often wake up and see it drained onto my pillow. I believe it’s coming from a particular area of my gum where the teeth is loose. I say that because whenever I brush my teeth and press gently with the brush against my gum in that area, I noticed a lot of blood on the brush. I’m too afraid to go to the dentist to have a deep cleaning because I believe the problem all started after I visited the hygienist several years ago. My breath also smells so bad that I am often embarrassed to talk to people. Please I desperately need your professional help. I am currently living in the UK so I don’t know if I’ll be able to get your products I really look forward to your reply Dr Ellie and thank you for your time in advance.

[@TrojansFirst]

When you have a crown, can Xylitol help build up the dentin under it? I just typed it in google and the AI gave me this answer: "While xylitol cannot directly "build up" the dentin under a crown, it can indirectly contribute to a healthier dental environment by preventing further decay and promoting remineralization of the surrounding tooth structure, potentially helping to maintain the integrity of the dentin beneath a crown by reducing the risk of further degradation due to cavities." I just want my numerous crowns to last so I don't have to get any root canals.

[@vickis.9363]

Do the entire protocol for best results.

[@deborahsmith6782]

Been doing this for 1 month then dental cleaning because - the plaque was thick and horrible, then another month and a half. My teeth are so yellow now. No plaque, they’re smooth, but now they’re more yellow. I try not to smile to hide it. How long until this changes? It is affecting my work and social relationships to be embarrassed to smile.
