I have used Zellie's Xylitol Mints also I use Xylitol Mints by Spry as well as their Gum. 😊 My only concern: even a plant base sweetener can cause a fungus over growth, is my understanding. I have been using a mint everynight as I lay to sleep for some year's now. 😊
I understand and agree however I recognize also that I won’t do it unless I know WHY and many people are like this. So I can speed up the video and comprehend it fine….and I can play transcript along side and skip forward if desired. 🎉
Just use some patience and listen , surely you can take a whopping 5 minutes out of your sofa time and learn something valuable, this woman took alot of time and effort to make this youtube for you .❤
@@stephanieroberts1394 5 minutes is acceptable, but its 20 minutes. Its the fact that galactikbutterfly lied about "a whopping 5 minutes". I have 2 jobs, 14 children, 3 wives, 2 houses, 6 chickens and a cat. YOU may have the time, but YOU arent everyone. I need white teeth and quickly. Im gonna use white house paint I have lying around (non lead based).
I started using this system about 4 months ago - and it has totally changed my mouth in the best way. My teeth feel smoother, plaque is nearly gone, and my gums don't ache anymore. I've added a simplified method (using the toothpaste, ACT mouthwash, and xylitol mints) to my 15 year old's routine and he says his teeth feel smoother and at his last dental visit the dentist commented that his teeth look really good. I'm very impressed with the results. Thank You! : )
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’ve been very skeptical because of some of the products but I do plan to give it a try for six months. Posts like yours give me encouragement.
Hi Dr. Ellie ! I have been using your complete mouth care system for over 3 months now. This has drastically improve my halitosis. Lately after brushing my teeth with toothpaste I noticed there’s slight blood when I spit it out. What can be possibly wrong. Pls. i need your advice. Thank you. 😀
I had horrific super plaque that is hereditary. One week after a dental cleaning I had plaque all over my front bottom teeth. It looked gross. No matter how much I brushed and flossed plaque would reappear almost overnight. I have been using Dr Ellie’s complete routine at night for two weeks with the Zellie’s during day time. I don’t have any plaque and my teeth feel stronger with the gums hugging my teeth better. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie!!!!!
You have a gut and mouth bacteria imbalance. Also most likely a dry mouth. Look into probiotics for mouth and gut. Change to a gut friendly diet. Use xylitol after meals to increase your saliva.
Same thing happened with me! I’ll always continue Dr. Ellie’s recommended dental care system. Her book “Kiss your dentist goodbye” is an excellent read and so informative!
Has anyone had any tooth staining as a result of the mouthwashes? I know that this can be a side effect of these mouthwashes and concerned about how often this occurs. It makes me afraid to try the system.
Yea my teeth arnt in great shape. I've just started using most of this info that she's taking about. I started last week but I've noticed my teeth becoming sensitive I think it is. Any suggestions?
I wish I had seen this 60 years ago (when I was 5) because this is the most useful information about my teeth health I've ever known. Thank you, Doctor.
Me too. Also wish my parents had known all this back then before having kids. My teeth have NEVER, EVER been healthy, I do not even have a single memory of myself with healthy teeth. When you are a child, you do not give a damn about teeth, you just play around. It is the parents who need to be aware of all these things and show the children how to take care of their teeth. And if something occurs, it is them who need to act on it as soon as possible before the damage is so big that the child will suffer the consequences all its life knowing it could have been prevented in time. I feel like I am patching up patches with another patches and my teeth will never look and feel healthy ever again.
@@SimonJaimieI agree. Parents need to check for kids teeth. Like yours our parents did the same did not saw it useful to take the children o the dentist u til we were already out school having tooth issues. My parents too never care for their teeth when they got older we had to take them to dentist for gum issues etc. All this could have been avoided but for my parents according to them they had no guidance themselves when it came to teeth for my grandparents. It's a true saying "you can't pick your family you can only look at the deficiencies and try to do better for yourself.
These videos are so helpful. I spent years listening to my dentist dispensing ultimately flawed and uninformed nonsense. I could have saved myself thousands of dollars had I known this as a young man. To those complaining about these videos being too long: this is a you problem. You clicked on a 20-minute video, presumably because you wanted to learn something about your teeth. Learning isn't done by reading headlines. If you don't have the attention span to learn how and why something works (or doesn't), then you're unlikely to have the attention span to fix the problem.
Dentists are corrupt in giving false information for profit. Been going on for decades. No money in promoting Xylitol, destructive sugar and damaging "cleaning" makes for rich dentists
It's 10 minute video with 2x speed and I am not even a native speaker. And you can do other stuff while listening to it. No need to see her while she speaks
Dr Ellie, thank you! I've been using your system for 3 months. At my recent dental visit, the gum pockets I'd had were gone! The hygienist comented how pink and healthy my gums are. No sign of tartar building up, and that has always been a big problem, especially on my bottom front teeth. I wish I had known about your system years ago.
This is fascinating. I've had dentists say to me that I wasn't a good candidate for whitening (not sure why) but listening to this, I'm so glad. I have a niece who is gorgeous and has shockingly white teeth. I met her recently at a family funeral and was so distracted by her teeth that were so white they were almost blue. I hope she'll still have her own teeth at my age (65)
I think that being, as you say, gorgeous, comes with heightened pressure to do things like hyper whiten ones teeth. I've heard beautiful women friends talking about it, it's unfortunate. Who knows how much damage is done :/
Xyliyltol does haveceide effects; has been reported that xylitol can raise blood glucose levels, which suggests that diabetics shouldn't consume it. Also include constipation, gas.
I hope so, I was the same when I was young, naturally white but then got hooked on whitening and then white strips for upkeep, and destroyed my enamel. I just had my upper teeth removed and dentures at 37. My bottoms are ok in comparison but I used more strips on the top teeth.
@@1stmoviefanit's fine used in small quantities. But who wants to use it large quantities? It's even hard to buy in large quantities. I use the Ice Chips "mints", if you want to call them that.
Your mouth care system is saving my teeth. They got damaged pretty bad with a fruit based diet. I developed brown spots and severe sensitivity, cavities and yellowing. I've been doing your full protocol for about 2 months now and I already have way less sensitivity, and my teeth are whitening quickly. It took at least a month for me to notice any changes, I'm glad I stuck with it! I used to only want to use natural products, but the way you speak with confidence made me believe you knew what you were talking about. Thanks for making your videos! I'll do a before and after video in a year or so and give you all the credit :)
@@chrislastnam6822the person is being honest, there’s many fruits in a fruit based diet that are like continuously putting acid on your teeth. Mostly eating fruits means variety, so it’s very hard to avoid the acidic foods for want of variety. We knew it near ruined the enamel on my dad’s teeth 35 years ago. Diet needs balance or these things happen.
I want to thank you for your calm, paced, thorough, logical explanation. I had no trouble understanding. I appreciate & applaud your heartfelt DEDICATION to the accuracy you strive for… for (understanding & maintaining) the mouth's natural biome. -And I appreciate you sharing, updating & perfecting your words. There are many people who aren’t ready to hear you yet. Keep at it, please! 🤗🤗🤗
You are very kind. I have been at this for 50 years now! My first teaching was 1973 to a group of pregnant moms in Eastbourne,Sussex. UK. I had a slide carousel and projector screen! RUclips is better. 🦷😁👍 Thank you again.
@@dr.elliephillips please can you do a video for the UK. I'm using Ultradex original, Listerine cool mint, Fluorigard and the toothpaste you recommend. Hope that's OK.
We can and should always strive for ' excellence ' in everything we do. Perfection is impossible to achieve NOTHING on earth is perfect Unfortunately the greater majority of people are taught very basic Elementary English - known as Common Street English - and they have a very limited vocabulary - and most do not know what the words actually mean - nor where the words came from. They merely repeat what they hear the uneducated masses say - instead of educating themself by reading books by accomplished authors that one can learn from. Knowledge often comes from unexpected sources - and any knowledge provided is a GIFT - acquiring knowledge is extremely expensive in both time and money. Good luck and best wishes for 2024
I intermittent fast everyday where I don’t eat or drink anything between 6 pm and 9am everyday. Maybe thats why my teeth look pretty healthy and white at age 53
Amazing healing! Damage done by a hygienist 15 years ago, creating gaps between the enamel and gum. Started using this protocol and the gaps almost immediately started closing. After 3 months all have closed except for 1 that needs more time. Amazing after so many years!
I've had teeth issues in my molars from multiple run-ins with a few bad dentists. Small chunks of food gets lodged in between when I eat (which creates a breeding ground for bacteria and causes all sorts of pain) and I have sharp edges that catch on to everything which I can feel running my tongue over it. After being desparate for a long time I tried Dr. Ellie's protocol for about a month and it changed all my issues. Plaque litterally fell off my teeth, teeth whitened significantly, Bad breath gone. I saw a difference in the first few days really. It's been about 4 months since and I have changed it a bit for my own reasons. I just felt a need to reduce the amount of flouride entering my body since I learned I have flourosis. I eat low carb which makes the most significant difference for tooth health because you are no longer feeding the bad bacteria, I brush with xylitol toothpaste, chew xylitol gum, and tongue scrape (Not sure if it's making any difference but I am trying it out). Couldn't thank Dr. Ellie enough. I am glad to support her cause to educate the people by buying zellie's mints for my kids.
@@moniryousefian8782 You should go doing your own research instead to believe everything you read on RUclips comment section, her in European xylitol is used as a sugar replacement for coffee and thee; so I don’t know what this person is talking about!
Never heard any of this ! Love to eat all day long or drink But I’m a teeth fanatic! Never had a tooth brush until I was 18 used a wash cloth around my finger once in awhile- dentist 1st time 18 years old - zero cavities (“ mean step mother & no treats no cokes about 600 calories a day ) But no cavities none of my sisters either !!
I’ve been doing your mouthwash system and it works! My granddaughter said grandma you have such nice teeth and I’m 65. Thank you for your guidance and knowledge. Happy New Year! ❤
I've bought two whitening sets since 2015 and haven't been able to use them because I intuitively feared doing so. The second set came with a mold of my teeth and cost quite a bit, but still I couldn't bring myself to use it. I've NEVER heard of this whitening process being unsafe, but still, I FEARED it. Btw, I have very good guardian angels, who help me with many things. It was most gratifying to listen to you.
I appreciate your teachings, I'm getting started on your protocol, but I'm wondering if you had a video or tips for people that have struggled with having white teeth because they were given Tetracycline antibiotics as a baby? @@dr.elliephillips
I'm 72 years old, originally from South Africa. I have been living in the UK for 19 years and my teeth are in a mess. The crowns they put in are bright white. And I must be thankful that I am an NHS patient. I have gum problems, but after the dentist "cleaned" my teeth and told me to use Corsodol toothpaste, my gums have never been this bad. For the first few years I had a South African dentist in the UK and he was very good, but he disappeared. In lockdown I lost two teeth, because the fillings they put in, in ten minutes fell out. Going private is very expensive, twice the price of South Africa. I have managed to find most of the products at Amazon and will save the few teeth I have. My gums are my biggest worry, but reading reviews I am willing to try and succeed. Thank you for being really interested in dentistry.
My 93 year-old mother in law drives herself to water aquatics three days a week and walks every day. She lives independently. She has being exercising regularly throughout her adult life.
@@SPYsuperguySTOCKSwhat are you doing exactly? I bought xylitol sugar and i am not sure is it better to use it to brush my teeth or as mouth wash 🧐any advice please .❤thanks
One of the first thing upon going into Vietnam (US Army) was a very high abrasive and fluoride treatment. Thank you, Uncle Sam. Combine that with growing up with tootsie rolls, Turkish Taffy, etc. that did so much damage and no good.
Thank you Dr! My wife has been a RDA for decades and she’s wondering why I’m buying these different products. I’m using your system on myself first for proof. I will ask her to watch your videos. As an engineer, I like to do my research and she knows it. Hopefully she will understand as well.
Interesting note that goes with your system... In another video, you mention how the saliva does the most mineralizing in the evening. To match that, recent studies show that the kidneys are the most active in the first 10 hours of the day, so that is when you should do the most hydrating. It is super important for your health to stay hydrated. So to incorporate your system and stay hydrated, I start my day with drinking 40 oz of water. Then progressively drink a little less than that about 30 minutes before each meal, drinking hardly any water after 5-6pm. Doing your system by the book. Well, actually using a lot more xylitol than the 6-8 grams. I was curious how much it would take to give myself the upset stomach that one will get with too much xylitol... I've gone over 70 grams and not had any stomach upset. Keeping it to about 10-15 grams now. One month in and the difference is already very noticeable.
People with good digestive health and who are on a generally high fiber diet have no problem incorporating high amounts of xylitol into their life. For women there may be osteoporosis protection at 40+ grams a day. There’s a book Sweeten Your Life The Xylitol Way by Karen Edwards written for diabetics who want to cook with xylitol.
I'm coeliac and have no problems eating xylitol :-) Also my husband made our son's 1st birthday cake with xylitol, even the buttercream icing and none of the babies, kids, adults inc grandparents had any problems... probably because they all thought it was a normal sugary cake.
@@jennraaravelle8617 Thanks for this message. You may like Karen Edward's book "Sweeten Your Life the Xylitol Way" with many xylitol recipes. Karen is a nutritionalist who has worked for years with diabetics and has lots of great recipes. Her cookie recipes are great and back in the 1990s I gave a talk to a group of hygienists in Syracuse New York. I took some brownies baked with xylitol - to serve at the meeting :) They were the first hygienists to learn about and endorse the benefits of xylitol Link to this book on Amazon: a.co/d/b1fzwaS
Thank you. I tend to sip. So I’ve been trying to consume my two cups of coffee in a shorter window then swish water and take two Zelle’s. Same with water. I have to drink a lot during the day so I am still trying to be better about drinking not sipping.
My wife would love it if you did a video explaining exactly how to take care of your teeth when pregnant. She is constantly throwing up and ends up with cavities all along her gum lines. Sorry, i guess you already did a video on it. Thanks.
Zellie's mints, and cinnamon mints are freaking amazing, they taste so good, better than any commercial brands out there. They taste like sugar and have no after taste. Caution, the cinnamon ones are very hot 🤔 but so delicious!!! Also following the system as best I can, getting better every week, bad habits hard to break. Lastly, I've noticed I no longer have plaque on my teeth in the mornings which is a huge change for me!!
i didn't go to dentist for 4 yrs. during that time oil pulled w coconut oil once a day. when weny to dentist was shocked that i had no cavities and no gingivitis. it also whitened teeth but not in a dramic way. thx 4 info.
Bad news for you. Coconut oil creates a barrier that doesn't allow the saliva's remineralization. If it whitened your teeth a little is because, as she said at the beginning, they are weaker. Just clean them after each meal with toothpaste, use collutory and don't put anything "extra" in your teeth and let the saliva do it's job.
@@Elvariel369 No cavities or gingivitis sounds pretty good though? I always rinse my mouth with warm salty water after oil pulling, that gets the oil off the teeth.
@@Jewelmind I tried oil pulling but it didn't seem to be helping, and you are supposed to keep it in your mouth for 10-15 minutes, which was very difficult.
@@PB22559 This is not the case. I have people all over the world - whom i have never met - and they are using my strategies with products available to them...in the UK, Europe, Australia and beyond..... You misunderstand what the "miracle" is - ------ - It is that your own mouth can heal itself if we support the process. This involves: 1. Correct oral care products (from your grocery store) 2. Giving time to your saliva to interact with your teeth and gums (xylitol can be helpful to create a nice flow) 3. Changing your daily habits so they help not hurt (stop snacking and sipping anything between meals) 4 Support your overall body health - since this affects the quality of saliva in your mouth.
Thank you for your video. I have been using the following list of things for other reasons. It turned out to whiten my teeth. It also gave me additional benefits. - I wash my mouth for 30 seconds with 1 to 3 diluted apple vinegar and cleanse my mouth with water afterwards. - I brush my teeth with non fluoride toothpaste. One to two times per day. - I keep coconut oil in my mouth for about 5 minutes several times per day - I eat almost no plants anymore. I do eat olives, avocado and Sauerkraut. - I eat no carbs anymore. - I eat almost exclusively meat, fish, eggs and cheese. - I do intermittent fasting (OMAD). Eating just once per day is fantastic for the cleanness of your mouth It only takes a few days to realize that your mouth is so clean and smooth. It takes about one month to notice a difference in the color of your teeth. It will take about half a year to come close to your personal maximum of whiteness. Avoiding coffee and tea helps too. The side effects in your mouth are: - No smells - Clean feeling - Teeth are soft and smooth - The gum looks and feels amazing By the way: It doesn’t cost much. Downside: You will only meet your caring dentist on the golf course and not for treatments. Long term downside for your dentist: If all his patients followed my procedure, your dentist would not be able to afford playing golf.
@@angelalaskodi3459 "Switching with oil in your mouth" is likely a typo. I have been referring to "oil pulling," which is an ancient practice involving swishing oil in the mouth. This practice is a traditional folk remedy from India, believed to improve oral hygiene and remove toxins from the body. The process involves swishing a tablespoon of oil (like coconut oil) in your mouth for about 15 minutes, then spitting it out. It's thought to reduce bacteria, promote oral health, and improve overall health.
@@hannahabdelrahman7817 As a person that does not rely on having many patients and as a person that has not been brainwashed during medical school I can tell you that those two recommendations are fantastic for your teeth and general health.
I am 5 months into the system. It is changing my life. I am going to be able to go 6 months before a cleaning now. Previously I would barely make 3 months before the tartar build up was unbearable. I am so grateful for this. I have noticed that my teeth look less translucent now. Is that good? I hope so. They are so much healthier. I have gotten my father on this system as well. Thanks again.
The main active ingredient in Listerine is Thymol. Nature’s Answer makes a nice mouthwash which includes Thyme flower/leaf oil among the ingredients as well as Methyl Salicylate. I prefer the Wintermint flavor which includes Wintergreen Leaf oil (and many other good ingredients) and they are all abundant in Xylitol. The PerioBrite line is excellent.
@@chrislastnam6822 Yeah, I'm afraid to deviate myself. There's something about the synergistic way her recommended products work together that bring excellent results.
@@johnna-l7t Correct! Dr. Ellie says to avoid glycerin as it keeps teeth from remineralizing! This is very serious. People should not be recommending other products that are not on Dr. Ellie's recommended protocol. She says if you substitute anything else at all, then the program may not work for you.
I mix virgin coconut oil with baking soda, along with my standard sensitive toothpaste. Works very well. (Baking soda is not an abrasive as many incorrectly believe. I will add in the ingredients mentioned here to see if it helps. Pro tip: Be sure to brush the backside of your teeth thoroughly because the backside does reflect through the frontside, adding to the dull yellow tint when light passes through.
My issue with this is the flouride; I refuse to use it. However, I may try the other pre-rinse that she recommends. I haven't used the harmful products for teeth whitening and don't plan to do so.
@@slavi7191 Some municipal water departments DO NOT add fluoride to the public water supply. Call your local department and ASK! Can we trust them to tell us the TRUTH? GOOD QUESTION!😮😉🤨
no you can't trust them @@cynthiashores57. fluoride is an industrial by-product and putting it in the water for us to drink is their way of disposing of said by-product.
The chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water are industrial byproducts from the phosphate fertilizer industry. These chemicals include fluorosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride. It is important to note that the fluoride added to drinking water is not a pharmaceutical grade additive, but an industrial waste byproduct. ☺
Exactly to fix the gut were the problem actually starts. I love kefir. Right now unfortunately not available for me at all since I am travelling in Asia/Phillipines.
Hey Dr Ellie, i have been doing your protocol for 5 to 6 months now and im really happy with it, my gum rescission has stopped but im yet to see it grow back but im here for the long haul... one of my dentists i had when i was a kid explained to me that the enamel grows clear and when it grows perfectly you see the colour of the dentine shine through and thats why my teeth would never appear super white, he also explained that when the enamel grows imperfectly that the structure criss crossed and reflects more white light back and that is why some people appear to have whiter teeth, but then he said my teeth were stronger and if everyone had teeth like me he would go out of business... ive only ever needed one filling and im now 52. i am though struggling in the UK to find a good affordable source of xylitol gummies or sweets they all seem way over priced. but i have found that xylitol powder by the KG is an affordable option just not sure how i should use it...any ideas?
Zellies mints should be available soon on Amazon UK. You can use granular xylitol. One teaspoon per day (to total about 6 grams) but take this in small divided doses x5 or x6 daily at the conclusion of meals. Try not to eat or drink for an hour afterward.
Dr Ellie kindly guided me in using xylitol crystals a few weeks back, and it’s super easy. I can’t tolerate the mints and other forms but the crystals are great. Very similar to sugar crystals. I broke my bags down into containers with lids and a spoon inside. You just melt it in your mouth, and swish around so it coats your entire mouth. I then spit out the excess in the sink. I’m a mouth breather so I also do a dose before bed to protect my mouth. Be careful if you have dogs because it is lethal to them even in small amounts.
Your advice is incredible! I have been using some of the products because I live in Thailand and cannot buy all the products. We have Lotte xylitol gum and mints which help a lot. I used to brush my teeth 5 x a day and reduced to before breakfast, rinsing after breakfast, then before bed, but using Listerine mint mouthwash after meals. I have zero plaque and I used to have to use a dental scaler to remove it myself all the time, and, of course, every six months. My last visit I had zero plaque. This is definitely due to your tips about sipping water, letting saliva build up, and using the mouthwashes you advise except the Closys as it is not here. i take a half tsp of xylitol after a meal and let saliva build up and swish it in my mouth for a few minutes, then swallow. Thank you so much!
I remember (maybe 20 years ago or so) that MANY chewing gums were sweetened with Xylitol. You would see them all at the checkout counter with big letters saying XYLITOL. Then they just stopped! Now one is hard-pressed to find ANY candy or gum using xylitol. Now, I believe I know why.
According to my anthropology professor, people started getting lots of tooth decay when they started eating dried fruit. Dried fruit sticks to your teeth for many hours .
Thanks for the great advice! I found a cheaper version of xylitol than the one you're selling. Now I feel like good dental health is within reach! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I found your channel and this info! In my 40s and I've never done any whitening even though I do need it. I'm currently doing Invisalign + prob veneers on mis-shapen teeth afterwards. Orthodontist is already pushing for whitening and I'm wary - now very wary after watching this! Keen to first follow your recommendations and see. I hope your online store soon ships internationally (ie, to Australia) as I currently can't support your products.
Thank you so much for all the information that you have given me. I hope that you will continue going into 24 with your videos. I hope your holidays have been great.
Used to bleach my teeth with peroxide, but had to stop due to receding and inflamed gums. My teeth started going yellow, so have been brushing my teeth with coconut oil and also Miswak powder, for a month. My teeth have become so much whiter! I keep getting compliments on how lovely my teeth look. Plus my gums are looking pink and healthy again.
Thanks for your loving videos. When I moved to UK, I realised people don't eat fruit after every meal like we do back home, and like to sip drinks even while walking so gradually I stopped eating fruit after meal too and got a bit of sipping habit and drink while walking; but now that you have mentioned about xylitol, I am thinking maybe Persian people ate fruit after meal because of that, to increase their mouth soliva filled with natural xylitol from fruits. I will definately going to buy your book and maybe your system if I can find in UK and am greatfull for your passion and time. I beleive world has no other choice but to follow all these good people on social media and try to make a new living by focusing on helping people not fooling them. Now I'm thinking why everyone back home also drink tea with dates after every meal for generation, and alway say to always eat and drink when you're sitting, and sit for at least further 15min after every meal; maybe that's something to research!
@5:30 I used one box of Crest White Strips and then - after decades of no cavities - I suddenly got cavities - so from my experience, she is telling the truth.
@@anastassia7952 I suspect you realize that was no accident - I hope you also realize GMO poisons in our food and beverages - and poisons in our air and water - that include poisonous microplastics - are also intentional.

Dr. Ellie Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. If 70 year old (friend of your mom) had spectacular results using your system I believe I also will get there too 🙂 I started your protocol almost 3 months ago. I am using it twice a day and since I couldn't purchase your Zellie's here in Europe I simply use high quality Xylitol after each meal or drink (take a small amount 1/5 of teaspoon and spread it with my tounge then I spit it out). thank you for sharing your protocol with us.
Please tell me, which product you use in Europe for the first mouth watch and as a toothpaste. I can't buy the recommended US products in Germany. I would really like to try Ellie's system.
Yes, just buy Xylitol. In Germany, supermarkets sell it and drug stores. But beware, in some people it causes severe bloating. Maybe it is even better to spit it out after use instead of ingesting pills.
Wonderful! Thank you so much Ellie! I sent your video to several family members and friends. So clear and refreshing, how you present your experience and findings.
Hi, I´d like to add to my previous comment that I do recommend flossing for people who have some pockets in their gums. I did the tooth care system without flossing and one of my gums started to bleed because there was still some small particle of food stuck inside. You cannot see or notice it, so I´ll keep carefully flossing as part of my routine, to be sure. I treated the inflammation applying natural honey (anti bacterial) and aloe vera a couple of times a day to the gums. Also a drop of tea tree oil in your mouthwash or mixed with some water have scientifically been proven to be as effective as clorhexidine to treat cases of gingivitis. It also produces less irritation to the mucous tissue in the mouth. I´ll stopped using Listerine Mint because it irritates my gums too much. Dr. Ellie, does the formula you recommend have alcohol and benzoic acid? Because the original version is no where to be found here and the Mint version has these ingredients. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!!
@msSAN300, I have the original version and it does have alcohol (26.9%) and benzoic acid. This is the ingredient list: Active ingredients: Eucalyptol 0.092%; Menthol 0.042%; Methyl Salicylate 0.060%; Thymol 0.064%. Inactive ingredients: Water, alcohol (26.9% v/v), benzoic acid, poloxamer 407, sodium benzoate, caramel. Hope this helps.
A good toothbrush and proper brushing technique will remove particles in gum pockets. Brush the gums in circular motions as well as brushing the teeth.
What about whitening the teeth with UV light? I believe that is also offered. I’m sure it’s not good either, but was wondering how exactly it actually harms the teeth, if you happen to know. Thank you for your great videos. 🙏
UV light kills good bacteria that prevent the bad bacteria from producing plaque so what you're essentially doing is killing off the good guys that are helping your body defend against bad bacteria. We are made up of multiple colonies of good bacteria all throughout our body so it's important to keep their numbers high.
It's not just UV light. The light activates a peroxide gel product they put on the teeth. I just read that UV actually creates more exposed grooves making teeth more vulnerable to stress.
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm 49 years old, never had a cavity and follow a whole food plant-based 'diet' for the past 20+ years. I'm healthy, haven't had a cold in about 20 years, exercise everyday etc. Anyway, for the past 30 years or so I have swished around my mouth most days 2% hydrogen peroxide before I brush with a 'natural' baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) toothpaste. I was told this hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate combo was the best defense against cavities (contrary to the modern dentists' suggestions). I was told this by several people I have met (each at different times) who were all over 70 and who each never had a cavity themselves after using this combination since childhood. Anyway, I don't use, and have never used, any whitening products like you warn about, however I do swish around my mouth this capful of hydrogen peroxide 2% before brushing. In your mind, does this pose the same damage as the peroxide whitening products on the market? What are your thoughts on 20 second mouth swish with hydrogen peroxide before brushing? Again, I've never had a cavity, and everyone else in my family has by their 20s. Thanks again. ps...I just listened to rest of video, and now have another question; my saliva PH is always 7.4 - 7.5, but I do drink water all day long. I do it not out of any kind of training, but honestly because I am always thirsty. I drink an average of over a gallon of water (reverse osmosis micro-filtered) a day everyday. My teeth are not as white as they once were, and I'd like to whiten them, but I feel I am always thirsty and so I'm always drinking water. Considering my PH on saliva strips is always alkaline, could you explain this to me? I really don't want to go for periods of time without drinking water. Again, thank you.
Apologies up front if I have read your comment wrong, because you are obviously an intelligent person and I mean no harm in my following comments…Excessive thirst can be a sign of something else being wrong. One of those things is diabetes, even if you have what you always considered as a good diet and are a healthy body weight that has served you well in the past, those things can change with age, so what was once serving us well can become a problem. Anyway I hope the good Dr E gets back to you because your questions are interesting.
Add minerals to your water, otherwise RO will leach them from your body. Also structuring your water should help it absorb better into your body. You may be thirsty for these 2 reasons, and they are inexpensive to resolve!
@@augustsnowfall5189 no reason to apologize, thanks for the kind words, and I appreciate it. But no, my A1c is '5'. In fact I just helped my Mom (who moved near me 2 years ago), who had an A1c of 11.5 (very far-end diabetic - while on metformin and the rest of the diabetic Pharma cocktail) get her A1c down to 6 and now taking no medicine at all. Simply by going on a whole food plant-based diet, and eliminating oils, as well as an exercise program I designed for her (I'm a physical therapist). She is now on the low end of pre-diabetes, after being full blown diabetic, on the drugs for 15 years.
Hi everyone, I did an in office professional Philips Zoom whitening about 6 months ago and do not recommend it. First of all, I have noticed very little difference in the change of colour. They were not yellow at all to start with. I guess I was getting used to seeing the white teeth in commercials and advertising and just thought mine were not white enough. I always thought I took good care of my teeth since I do not have any sugar in my diet and brush 2 or 3 times a day. Since then, I actually discovered what did most of the harm to my teeth were the daily fresh orange juice every morning and the cup of tea after that (without rinsing my mouth afterwards) I have always thought only sugar was the issue not the acids in food. I just noticed a gum was bleeding the other day and I have never had issues with my gums before! I´m sure the whitening is bad for your enamel in the long run, but for the gums it´s really bad from the get go. They receded somewhat after the bleaching and show no signs of recovery. At least this experience helped me to make my teeth a priority from now. I´m fifty and I want to keep them healthy and functional, not too bothered with them being white or not anymore! 🙋♀
I see in all her videos.. comments saying they used her system..what's her system or protocol?? Seems they are promoting her methods or products to sale
@@supermario4024 Dr Ellie’s system or procedure uses products made by other well known companies. She makes no money off of them. You can buy the system from her at her website and she makes money off of that but she should because you’re essentially reimbursing her for the products she bought and assembled for you. You can buy these products yourself wherever they’re sold. Dr Ellie does make a xylitol product called Zellie’s Mints. It’s actually a public service that she does this because it’s not easy finding xylitol products. She also sells a program at her website that teaches about her entire program so you don’t have to piece it all together from multiple videos. All this information is basically for free to us, and I’m super grateful to Dr Ellie because she has educated us while most of mainstream dentistry has not. My own dentist and hygienist have done nothing to educate me. I knew nothing about the wonders of xylitol. They never explained the dangers of an acidic mouth. They constantly promote damaging teeth whitening. What I’ve figured out, and others might chime in here, is that Dr Ellie has put together a mouth care system based on her decades of dentistry experience, as well as educating us on the science behind what we need to do and why. She’s amazing.
Thank you dr. Ellie. About a month ago i noticed terrible receding gums and I failed to understand why as I have good oral health care, don’t smoke, no Gingivitis… i just didn’t get it. I refused to accept that gums don’t grow back as the body will always try to restore itself one way or another. I was so grateful to be guided to your video. It all made sense… acidity. I religiously drank lemon water for decades in the morning before eating fruit, then added kefir water and kombucha ( strong kombucha) to my evening routine just before brushing my teeth. On top of that I had used whitening strips on and off over time… it was basics an accident waiting to happen. Once I saw your video I immediately stopped these acidic drinks. And started chewing xylitol gum immediate after I eat or drink. My teeth are returning smooth and thicker again and are returning to their natural whiteness. I had been using pretty good products oral B enamel densifying tooth paste en vitis sensitive mouthwash which also helps with regrowing enamel. I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted before as I was still drinking those horrible drinks, but now I’m amazed at the results after not even a month. The situation was so bad I still have a long way to go. I may try to get the other two products to see if they help speed up recovery, but so far I cannot thank you enough for putting out this info 💖💖
I’ve had good luck with this system over the last few months with the exception of the regular crest toothpaste. For some reason it caused massive staining in a short period of time, but switching to Colgate regular paste fixed it.
@@dr.elliephillips thank you very much for the response Dr. Phillips. Yes, I was very careful to order & receive the original Crest paste with sodium fluoride (0.243%). I have no idea what in Crest causes this rapid staining for me but about 20 years ago I tried Crest paste with the same issue. Except back then it took me a couple years to figure it out, and oddly regular old Colgate paste is fine. If there is a concern with Colgate regular paste and you have a different recommendation I’d be happy to try it. Thank you for your help & time!
This has been the most informal Dental video I have ever seen, along with your other vids. I haven't been to a dentist in yrs, I'll be going soon for a partial and glad I saw this first before being coerced into teeth whitening. I don't do fluoride, have had a berkey water filter for over 15 yrs now. Thank you so much for this much needed information, I'll be sending my mother this video now.
I love your teaching, it is simple and straightforward. Truly, eradicating the source of the problem makes things less complicated. I am applying your technics and I am noticing an improvement here. God bless you.❤
I love these the kinf od videos, giving free info! Thank you Dr. Ellie, if you could make the videos a bit shorter I think that would be amazing. Also I am using a dental chatbot I came across for oral health advice and it's amazing
Hello! Would love to know the chatbot name and know whether it is free. Been looking for one that i can use since I am trying to review for the boards. Ty 🤍
Right on! ! Dr. Ellie's vids are absolute gems.btw, that dental chatbot sounds intriguing! Mind sharing where you found it? I could use some solid oral health advice too.🥺
@@soposhhh1122 I'm also curious about the chatbot mentioned. Then I saw your comment,,,, I was also thinking that he or she might be referring to Kriss AI 😅😅.
Enamel is made of hydroxyapatite. Fluoride is added to toothpaste so that it becomes incorporated into the enamel in the form of hydroxyfluoroapatite, which is a stronger structure.
I bought everything Dr. Phillips recommends! I have receding gums with tooth loss at the base! Not sure if there is much hope, but will do what she is saying. I have had tooth sensitivity for a long time! I appreciate her coming out to speak the truth. Dental work is costly and painful, so proactive dental care is important. Nobody wants an infection going into their bloodstream! Tooth health really does equal overall health!
I can’t tolerate mint due to radiation to my throat & tongue. This has made the soft tissue in my mouth, tongue & throat extremely sensitive. The only toothpaste that does set my mouth on fire is mild biotene, gentle mint flavor can be painful I don’t produce saliva. It’s been recommended by dentists to keep my mouth moist w frequent sips of water How does one, like myself, who has gone through radiation treatment for throat & tongue cancer follow this program?
I started the routine and yes my teeth feel better gums are starting to heal and it’s only been a week. I don’t use the alcohol listerine. Too much burn. I do Floss but I also do a turmeric pack on some gums that were red and I cannot tell you it healed the redness and my teeth have never been whiter. It does take time every night but I will stick to it bc the results have been so good.
Hydroxyapatite is said to help whiten teeth. There's also CPP-ACP but there's some opinions that say it will block minerals from entering the structure.
Thank you, Dr. Ellie for giving me hope. I’m 66 and just discovered your system. I bought the Closys and Listerine and old fashioned Crest yesterday, plus a bunch of Pure Cylitol gum and granulated Xylitol. Your system makes so much sense. God bless you
Dear Dr. Ellie, really appreciate your professional knowledge, sincerity, and honesty. I have tried your mouth care system for two and a half months. My teeth have become smoother and my gums keep growing back! While this makes me really happy, something scary is also happening. My teeth become yellower and yellower instead of whiter and whiter as I would expect. The yellowish color started between the teeth and gradually spread to the front. And three of my lower front teeth got yellow from the top and gradually moved to the bottom. I don't understand why. Have I been drinking too little water, so my mouth has been too dry? Have plagues been growing between the teeth? I am so tempted to use floss or dental picks to clean between teeth. What should I do now? My husband is also using the mouth care system. He notices plagues building up between teeth. Can you help, Dr. Ellie? I'm worried. Let me share more on my experience. Three months ago, before I could find any of your recommended products, I first stopped the habit of sipping and started massaging my gums. After three days, to my amazement, my receding gums started to grow back. The interdental brushes could no longer go through the gaps. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then I decided to try your mouth care system. I am residing in Turkey. I could not find all of your recommended products. To start with, I bought the 100% xylitol in granulated form, your recommended Listerine, and ACT (Very expensive). I couldn't find Crest or any substitute toothpaste with the most basic ingredients, so I used the toothpaste that I had (Parodontax (with sodium bicarbonate)). After two weeks, I noticed some yellowish color between the teeth and also on the lower front teeth. But I didn't give up the mouth care system. I kept going. After finishing the bottle of ACT, I switched to Colgate Plax (with similar ingredients to ACT). For toothpaste, I switch to Oral B 1-2-3 (Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Sorbitol, SLS, Cellulose Gum, Aroma, Trisodium Phosphate, Sodium Fluoride, Carbomer, Sodium Saccharin, Glycerin, Limonene, Sodium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 80, CI42090). Only one week ago, I managed to buy your recommended toothbrush. What should I do now? Please help.
THANK YOU Dr Phillips for your chapters! I know this is added time to the editing process yet it helps me tremendously. Thank you. Now…. how do I get you to respond to my questions. 😊 I know you’re incredibly busy, and my own dentist is no help. I did send an Instagram message & I asked on another current video. Loving my new dental routine though!
Quick plaque buildup in a short time that also quickly calcifies is a serious problem, that is caused by multiple things. Also it is a sign you have notenough of certain nutrients and is an indicator that your arteries are also calcifying and other parts of your body. If you have not enough magnesium ratio to calcium ratio ( you need at the same time more calcium than magnesium when consuming calcium rich foods ( so be aware of calcium supplementation, without magnesium! ) + not enough K2/K1. Not enough vitamin C... My father had never tartar buildup and hardened plaque, but when he was diagnosed with severe arterial calcium plaque and clogged arteries, his plaque ( hardened tartar ) was very severe too. So people be aware>>> if your teeth develope very quickly tartar, your arteries are also clogged with calcium depisits! My father had no tartar buildup and NEVER BRUSHED HIS TEETH IN HIS LIFE! Until his arteries where calcified! Get checked with the CORONARY calcium score test, IF your teeth have severe calcium deposits buildup! My father also consumed high amounts of calcium by drinking everyday milk, cheese, but lacked magnesium, K1/K2! Not every tartar buildup is from bad oral cleaning. Also...if you use aggressive toothpaste and other products like mouthwash, antibiotics, fluoride, to much dental cleanings with again products that dentists use, your teeth lose their own enamel and get very weak by eliminating the good bacteria also, which again makes your oral biome compromized with decaying teeth, where also again tartar builds up. Be gentle to your teeth and also clise your mouth when sleeping, so your mouth stays humid inside, instead of drying out ( tape your mouth at night ). Dry mouth is very bad for your gums and teeth, so people with Sjörgen syndrome need extra care! Sjörgen syndrome is again a sign of not enough of certain nutrients, like vitamin A, D, E, K and other nutrients ( dry mouth and eyes are not normal and are often caused by this nutrient deficiencies and so on. If you have diabetes, pre- diabetes your oral health is compromuzed also. People with hashimoto, thyroid disease are also at risk for oral problems. Not everything is related to poor oral hygiene. Also, some bacteria cause also toothdecay if they are too abundant in your iral biome. You need to check your saliva under an electron mucroscope! No many dentists have a microscope to check for certain bacterias in your mouth. Antibiotics kill the bad, but also the good, so your oral biome is destroyed too, with again oral problems as a result. Your diet is soooo important to your oral health. What you drink and eat is key to oral health. Smoking, alcohol is sooo bad too. Smoking and alcohol dries up your mucosa in your mouth, kills good bacteria also and deprives your oral tissue from enough oxigen, to name a few problems, but there are more. Also, 1 cigaret deprives you of 60 mg of vitamin C if i am correct! Vitamin C is needed for collagen production and to strengthen connective tissue ( like your gums for example ). Vitamin B12 and other B vitamins, zink are also needed for oral health. Consuming fruitjuices, coffee also destroys your teeth. Cleaning after eating fruits also. Sugar, flour are also a culprit. The list goes on. People please, research yourself all you can find, because dentists normally do not tell you much. But promote their products, oral procedures to make money out of you. Rootcanals are horrible too. Amalgam fillings too! Even other metals in your mouth and composites. Your body will decline too. Bad breath is a serious thing and a sign also of other health issues. Most people have also not enough stomac acid to digest food ( the symptoms of not enough stomac acids feel the same as to much stomac acids!!! You need enough stomac acid bile to digest food, otherwise you also get bad breath. Bad breath can also be a sign of sepsis, liver failure and other serious issues. Depending on the smell of your breath different issues are seen. Coconut oil pulling has good results to keep your teeth and gums in better shape for some people. Some use virgin sesami oil too. Work on your diet. Dr. Erik Berg Dr. Peter Osborne Dr. Ken Berry Just to name a few people with knowledge that can be useful to resolve issues and to understand your body, diet and so on. Good luck!

I started using this system about 4 months ago - and it has totally changed my mouth in the best way. My teeth feel smoother, plaque is nearly gone, and my gums don't ache anymore. I've added a simplified method (using the toothpaste, ACT mouthwash, and xylitol mints) to my 15 year old's routine and he says his teeth feel smoother and at his last dental visit the dentist commented that his teeth look really good. I'm very impressed with the results. Thank You! : )
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’ve been very skeptical because of some of the products but I do plan to give it a try for six months. Posts like yours give me encouragement.

What is your opinion of remineralising teeth with egg shell powder? I am a fan of natural solutions.
Hi Dr. Ellie ! I have been using your complete mouth care system for over 3 months now. This has drastically improve my halitosis. Lately after brushing my teeth with toothpaste I noticed there’s slight blood when I spit it out. What can be possibly wrong. Pls. i need your advice. Thank you. 😀

I had horrific super plaque that is hereditary. One week after a dental cleaning I had plaque all over my front bottom teeth. It looked gross. No matter how much I brushed and flossed plaque would reappear almost overnight. I have been using Dr Ellie’s complete routine at night for two weeks with the Zellie’s during day time. I don’t have any plaque and my teeth feel stronger with the gums hugging my teeth better. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie!!!!!
You have a gut and mouth bacteria imbalance. Also most likely a dry mouth. Look into probiotics for mouth and gut. Change to a gut friendly diet. Use xylitol after meals to increase your saliva.
Same thing happened with me! I’ll always continue Dr. Ellie’s recommended dental care system. Her book “Kiss your dentist goodbye” is an excellent read and so informative!
@@junecastillo576 me too!!!
Has anyone had any tooth staining as a result of the mouthwashes? I know that this can be a side effect of these mouthwashes and concerned about how often this occurs. It makes me afraid to try the system.

I wish I had seen this 60 years ago (when I was 5) because this is the most useful information about my teeth health I've ever known. Thank you, Doctor.
Same here.
Me too. Also wish my parents had known all this back then before having kids. My teeth have NEVER, EVER been healthy, I do not even have a single memory of myself with healthy teeth. When you are a child, you do not give a damn about teeth, you just play around. It is the parents who need to be aware of all these things and show the children how to take care of their teeth. And if something occurs, it is them who need to act on it as soon as possible before the damage is so big that the child will suffer the consequences all its life knowing it could have been prevented in time. I feel like I am patching up patches with another patches and my teeth will never look and feel healthy ever again.
@@SimonJaimieI agree. Parents need to check for kids teeth. Like yours our parents did the same did not saw it useful to take the children o the dentist u til we were already out school having tooth issues. My parents too never care for their teeth when they got older we had to take them to dentist for gum issues etc. All this could have been avoided but for my parents according to them they had no guidance themselves when it came to teeth for my grandparents. It's a true saying "you can't pick your family you can only look at the deficiencies and try to do better for yourself.

These videos are so helpful. I spent years listening to my dentist dispensing ultimately flawed and uninformed nonsense. I could have saved myself thousands of dollars had I known this as a young man.
To those complaining about these videos being too long: this is a you problem. You clicked on a 20-minute video, presumably because you wanted to learn something about your teeth. Learning isn't done by reading headlines. If you don't have the attention span to learn how and why something works (or doesn't), then you're unlikely to have the attention span to fix the problem.
Dentists are corrupt in giving false information for profit. Been going on for decades.
No money in promoting Xylitol, destructive sugar and damaging "cleaning" makes for rich dentists
It's 10 minute video with 2x speed and I am not even a native speaker. And you can do other stuff while listening to it. No need to see her while she speaks
I loved the explanation about how teeth are actually clear like glass crystals
yes, me too. I never knew this.
I'm learning so much from her. I already eat a little xylitol sometimes before bed.
Dr Ellie, thank you! I've been using your system for 3 months. At my recent dental visit, the gum pockets I'd had were gone! The hygienist comented how pink and healthy my gums are. No sign of tartar building up, and that has always been a big problem, especially on my bottom front teeth. I wish I had known about your system years ago.
This is fascinating. I've had dentists say to me that I wasn't a good candidate for whitening (not sure why) but listening to this, I'm so glad. I have a niece who is gorgeous and has shockingly white teeth. I met her recently at a family funeral and was so distracted by her teeth that were so white they were almost blue. I hope she'll still have her own teeth at my age (65)
Yes. They have no idea of the potential damage - even beyond their teeth.
I think that being, as you say, gorgeous, comes with heightened pressure to do things like hyper whiten ones teeth. I've heard beautiful women friends talking about it, it's unfortunate. Who knows how much damage is done :/
Xyliyltol does haveceide effects;
has been reported that xylitol can raise blood glucose levels, which suggests that diabetics shouldn't consume it. Also include constipation, gas.
I hope so, I was the same when I was young, naturally white but then got hooked on whitening and then white strips for upkeep, and destroyed my enamel. I just had my upper teeth removed and dentures at 37. My bottoms are ok in comparison but I used more strips on the top teeth.
@@1stmoviefanit's fine used in small quantities. But who wants to use it large quantities? It's even hard to buy in large quantities. I use the Ice Chips "mints", if you want to call them that.
Your mouth care system is saving my teeth. They got damaged pretty bad with a fruit based diet. I developed brown spots and severe sensitivity, cavities and yellowing. I've been doing your full protocol for about 2 months now and I already have way less sensitivity, and my teeth are whitening quickly. It took at least a month for me to notice any changes, I'm glad I stuck with it!
I used to only want to use natural products, but the way you speak with confidence made me believe you knew what you were talking about. Thanks for making your videos! I'll do a before and after video in a year or so and give you all the credit :)
Fruit is good for you.
@@chrislastnam6822the person is being honest, there’s many fruits in a fruit based diet that are like continuously putting acid on your teeth. Mostly eating fruits means variety, so it’s very hard to avoid the acidic foods for want of variety. We knew it near ruined the enamel on my dad’s teeth 35 years ago. Diet needs balance or these things happen.
Right on. I just started a week ago and looking forward to seeing results!
Lots of things that are good for bodies can damage teeth. This is where you strategize and learn how to eat good foods without causing tooth damage.
I’d like to suggest that oral health requires strategies ( like xylitol) that help to protect teeth from acidic attacks.

I've had teeth issues in my molars from multiple run-ins with a few bad dentists. Small chunks of food gets lodged in between when I eat (which creates a breeding ground for bacteria and causes all sorts of pain) and I have sharp edges that catch on to everything which I can feel running my tongue over it. After being desparate for a long time I tried Dr. Ellie's protocol for about a month and it changed all my issues. Plaque litterally fell off my teeth, teeth whitened significantly, Bad breath gone.
I saw a difference in the first few days really. It's been about 4 months since and I have changed it a bit for my own reasons. I just felt a need to reduce the amount of flouride entering my body since I learned I have flourosis. I eat low carb which makes the most significant difference for tooth health because you are no longer feeding the bad bacteria, I brush with xylitol toothpaste, chew xylitol gum, and tongue scrape (Not sure if it's making any difference but I am trying it out).
Couldn't thank Dr. Ellie enough. I am glad to support her cause to educate the people by buying zellie's mints for my kids.
The low sugar diet has helped me too. I have felt my teeth being cleaner and now I feel the same and more improvements by doing this plan.
Crest white strips made my teeth whiter but I believe ruined my front teeth. Thanks for the information.

Never had a tooth brush until I was 18 used a wash cloth around my finger once in awhile- dentist 1st time 18 years old - zero cavities (“ mean step mother & no treats no cokes about 600 calories a day )
But no cavities none of my sisters either !!
This makes a lot of sense. Dentists do warn about the side effects of whitening which is sensitivity. This explains why.
Thank you for all your teachings. The difference in my teeth is phenomenal. My gums look amazing after 5 months
Are you using the entire system that Dr Ellie recommends?🙂
@@Maggie-zr2ow yes 🙌
Hey Marie geelan has anyone told u, u look exactly like a female version of Zac efron😊 the high school musical cutie
I’ve been doing your mouthwash system and it works! My granddaughter said grandma you have such nice teeth and I’m 65. Thank you for your guidance and knowledge. Happy New Year! ❤
How exactly do you make your mouthwash?
@@anndaluz2052 3 different types of mouthwash and crest cavity toothpaste for cleaning and Zelle mints throughout the day.
Do you use the product at night or after meals?
@@paulaalegria806 I do the system in the morning and again night. It’s great at night because once you’re done there is no eating! Diet control…

What a brave lady Dr Ellie is , a true warrior teaching and helping the ordinary people how to really care for their oral health
Bravo 🙏
Yes it's great.
even the ingestion of a small amount of xylitol can cause severely low blood sugar, seizures or liver injury.
Teeth aren't meant to be white. They are naturally a more ivory colour.
'Whiten' or brighten, not white colour 😑
'Whiten' or brighten, not white colour 😑
I've bought two whitening sets since 2015 and haven't been able to use them because I intuitively feared doing so. The second set came with a mold of my teeth and cost quite a bit, but still I couldn't bring myself to use it. I've NEVER heard of this whitening process being unsafe, but still, I FEARED it. Btw, I have very good guardian angels, who help me with many things. It was most gratifying to listen to you.
Marketing is a powerful thing. I’ve been able to observe dentistry for five decades and see the games that are played.
I appreciate your teachings, I'm getting started on your protocol, but I'm wondering if you had a video or tips for people that have struggled with having white teeth because they were given Tetracycline antibiotics as a baby? @@dr.elliephillips
I can see that my teeth are getting whiter since coming to complete mouthcare system
Xylitol helped me whiten teeth
I'm 72 years old, originally from South Africa.
I have been living in the UK for 19 years and my teeth are in a mess.
The crowns they put in are bright white.
And I must be thankful that I am an NHS patient.
I have gum problems, but after the dentist "cleaned" my teeth and told me to use Corsodol toothpaste, my gums have never been this bad.
For the first few years I had a South African dentist in the UK and he was very good, but he disappeared.
In lockdown I lost two teeth, because the fillings they put in, in ten minutes fell out.
Going private is very expensive, twice the price of South Africa.
I have managed to find most of the products at Amazon and will save the few teeth I have.
My gums are my biggest worry, but reading reviews I am willing to try and succeed.
Thank you for being really interested in dentistry.
🇿🇦🇿🇦❤❤
I am so thankful for good South African dentists.
My 93 year-old mother in law drives herself to water aquatics three days a week and walks every day. She lives independently. She has being exercising regularly throughout her adult life.
That’s fine but what does that info have to do here?
I've been using xylitol for less than a week and my mouth feels unrecognizable. Dr surely knows what she's talking about.
Same. 🎉
Did you get good results only using xylitol? How much xylitol did you take and how often?
Same here. 1 gum after every meal, 30-45min and no snacking and teeth become unbelievably smooth
Can you just buy xylitol powder and swish that around instead?
At 2 am after watching your videos I drove to Walgreens right away and got everything for the total mouth care system thank you so much, blessings

2 am for me as well...
@@beefmaster4 I’ve been doing it for a month and seems like a sensitive tooth maybe where there was a cavity seems to be good now
@@SPYsuperguySTOCKSwhat are you doing exactly? I bought xylitol sugar and i am not sure is it better to use it to brush my teeth or as mouth wash 🧐any advice please .❤thanks
Oh no just chew xylitol gum I like our gum it’s sold at Walgreens , it’s just a tooth protector between brushing
I started Ellie’s routine 9 months ago. My teeth have become brilliant. No plaque build up. This routine is a real one for me. Maybe for you too. 🌸
One of the first thing upon going into Vietnam (US Army) was a very high abrasive and fluoride treatment. Thank you, Uncle Sam. Combine that with growing up with tootsie rolls, Turkish Taffy, etc. that did so much damage and no good.
OMG Turkish Taffy! I used to love that stuff! The vanilla! I was blessed w good teeth but I would really like to try this.
Funny how that sticks in our memory... sand off the enamel so we can fluoride the teeth.
thank you for your service! ❤️

Thank you! Love Zellies mints and gum. I've been using your system for about 4 months. I wish I had found you years ago.❤

This woman is a game changer 🏆
Thank you Dr! My wife has been a RDA for decades and she’s wondering why I’m buying these different products. I’m using your system on myself first for proof. I will ask her to watch your videos. As an engineer, I like to do my research and she knows it. Hopefully she will understand as well.
Interesting note that goes with your system... In another video, you mention how the saliva does the most mineralizing in the evening. To match that, recent studies show that the kidneys are the most active in the first 10 hours of the day, so that is when you should do the most hydrating.
It is super important for your health to stay hydrated. So to incorporate your system and stay hydrated, I start my day with drinking 40 oz of water. Then progressively drink a little less than that about 30 minutes before each meal, drinking hardly any water after 5-6pm.
Doing your system by the book. Well, actually using a lot more xylitol than the 6-8 grams. I was curious how much it would take to give myself the upset stomach that one will get with too much xylitol... I've gone over 70 grams and not had any stomach upset. Keeping it to about 10-15 grams now. One month in and the difference is already very noticeable.
In another video of Dr Ellie’s, she says there is no additional benefit beyond 10g of xylitol daily and recommends only 6-7 g daily.
People with good digestive health and who are on a generally high fiber diet have no problem incorporating high amounts of xylitol into their life. For women there may be osteoporosis protection at 40+ grams a day.
There’s a book Sweeten Your Life The Xylitol Way by Karen Edwards written for diabetics who want to cook with xylitol.
@@dr.elliephillipsoh that's right! I actually heard a dental hygienist say this too! 😯👍
I'm coeliac and have no problems eating xylitol :-)
Also my husband made our son's 1st birthday cake with xylitol, even the buttercream icing and none of the babies, kids, adults inc grandparents had any problems... probably because they all thought it was a normal sugary cake.
@@jennraaravelle8617 Thanks for this message. You may like Karen Edward's book "Sweeten Your Life the Xylitol Way" with many xylitol recipes. Karen is a nutritionalist who has worked for years with diabetics and has lots of great recipes. Her cookie recipes are great and back in the 1990s I gave a talk to a group of hygienists in Syracuse New York. I took some brownies baked with xylitol - to serve at the meeting :) They were the first hygienists to learn about and endorse the benefits of xylitol Link to this book on Amazon: a.co/d/b1fzwaS
I’m glad I found this lady she’s so informative
Thank you. I tend to sip. So I’ve been trying to consume my two cups of coffee in a shorter window then swish water and take two Zelle’s. Same with water. I have to drink a lot during the day so I am still trying to be better about drinking not sipping.
My wife would love it if you did a video explaining exactly how to take care of your teeth when pregnant. She is constantly throwing up and ends up with cavities all along her gum lines. Sorry, i guess you already did a video on it. Thanks.
Thank you for offering us alternatives for dental care that actually works! I'm hoping my daughter will benefit from your wisdom!
Zellie's mints, and cinnamon mints are freaking amazing, they taste so good, better than any commercial brands out there. They taste like sugar and have no after taste. Caution, the cinnamon ones are very hot 🤔 but so delicious!!! Also following the system as best I can, getting better every week, bad habits hard to break. Lastly, I've noticed I no longer have plaque on my teeth in the mornings which is a huge change for me!!
i didn't go to dentist for 4 yrs. during that time oil pulled w coconut oil once a day. when weny to dentist was shocked that i had no cavities and no gingivitis. it also whitened teeth but not in a dramic way. thx 4 info.
Bad news for you. Coconut oil creates a barrier that doesn't allow the saliva's remineralization. If it whitened your teeth a little is because, as she said at the beginning, they are weaker. Just clean them after each meal with toothpaste, use collutory and don't put anything "extra" in your teeth and let the saliva do it's job.
@@Elvariel369 No cavities or gingivitis sounds pretty good though?
I always rinse my mouth with warm salty water after oil pulling, that gets the oil off the teeth.
I hear oil pulling is really good
Be aware that oil pulling if you have amalgams will help the mercury to be released quicker. Not good news.
@@Jewelmind I tried oil pulling but it didn't seem to be helping, and you are supposed to keep it in your mouth for 10-15 minutes, which was very difficult.
The Wisewoman of Dental Care.
Problem is they're always selling your their own 'miracle' product that happens to be the best.
@@PB22559 This is not the case.
I have people all over the world - whom i have never met - and they are using my strategies with products available to them...in the UK, Europe, Australia and beyond.....
You misunderstand what the "miracle" is - ------ -
It is that your own mouth can heal itself if we support the process.
This involves:
1. Correct oral care products (from your grocery store)
2. Giving time to your saliva to interact with your teeth and gums (xylitol can be helpful to create a nice flow)
3. Changing your daily habits so they help not hurt (stop snacking and sipping anything between meals)
4 Support your overall body health - since this affects the quality of saliva in your mouth.
Thank you for your video.
I have been using the following list of things for other reasons.
It turned out to whiten my teeth. It also gave me additional benefits.
- I wash my mouth for 30 seconds with 1 to 3 diluted apple vinegar and cleanse my mouth with water afterwards.
- I brush my teeth with non fluoride toothpaste. One to two times per day.
- I keep coconut oil in my mouth for about 5 minutes several times per day
- I eat almost no plants anymore. I do eat olives, avocado and Sauerkraut.
- I eat no carbs anymore.
- I eat almost exclusively meat, fish, eggs and cheese.
- I do intermittent fasting (OMAD). Eating just once per day is fantastic for the cleanness of your mouth
It only takes a few days to realize that your mouth is so clean and smooth.
It takes about one month to notice a difference in the color of your teeth.
It will take about half a year to come close to your personal maximum of whiteness.
Avoiding coffee and tea helps too.
The side effects in your mouth are:
- No smells
- Clean feeling
- Teeth are soft and smooth
- The gum looks and feels amazing
By the way: It doesn’t cost much.
Downside: You will only meet your caring dentist on the golf course and not for treatments.
Long term downside for your dentist: If all his patients followed my procedure, your dentist would not be able to afford playing golf.
What do you mean when you say you keep coconut oil in your mouth. Do you mean you switch with it? Or just rub it on your teeth.
@@angelalaskodi3459 "Switching with oil in your mouth" is likely a typo. I have been referring to "oil pulling," which is an ancient practice involving swishing oil in the mouth. This practice is a traditional folk remedy from India, believed to improve oral hygiene and remove toxins from the body. The process involves swishing a tablespoon of oil (like coconut oil) in your mouth for about 15 minutes, then spitting it out. It's thought to reduce bacteria, promote oral health, and improve overall health.
As a dentist I can tell you the first 2 steps are very harmful to your teeth and will cause erosions and abrasion
@@hannahabdelrahman7817 As a person that does not rely on having many patients and as a person that has not been brainwashed during medical school I can tell you that those two recommendations are fantastic for your teeth and general health.
@@happyactivehealthy100years4 we'll agree to disagree!
I am 5 months into the system. It is changing my life. I am going to be able to go 6 months before a cleaning now. Previously I would barely make 3 months before the tartar build up was unbearable. I am so grateful for this. I have noticed that my teeth look less translucent now. Is that good? I hope so. They are so much healthier. I have gotten my father on this system as well. Thanks again.
I'm the same! 3 cleanings a year instead of 2 and my teeth/mouth always felt so gross. I'm only a few days in and feel a huge difference!
My teeth are much better. Thanks
The main active ingredient in Listerine is Thymol. Nature’s Answer makes a nice mouthwash which includes Thyme flower/leaf oil among the ingredients as well as Methyl Salicylate. I prefer the Wintermint flavor which includes Wintergreen Leaf oil (and many other good ingredients) and they are all abundant in Xylitol. The PerioBrite line is excellent.
Thank you very much! This is why I always read comments.
The concentration of ingredients may not be good for teeth . The pH may be detrimental. I'll stick with Dr Phillips' protocol.
@@chrislastnam6822 Yeah, I'm afraid to deviate myself. There's something about the synergistic way her recommended products work together that bring excellent results.
That sounds good, but the PerioBrite line contains glycerin which I thought was not good for teeth.
@@johnna-l7t Correct! Dr. Ellie says to avoid glycerin as it keeps teeth from remineralizing! This is very serious. People should not be recommending other products that are not on Dr. Ellie's recommended protocol. She says if you substitute anything else at all, then the program may not work for you.
I mix virgin coconut oil with baking soda, along with my standard sensitive toothpaste. Works very well. (Baking soda is not an abrasive as many incorrectly believe. I will add in the ingredients mentioned here to see if it helps.
Pro tip: Be sure to brush the backside of your teeth thoroughly because the backside does reflect through the frontside, adding to the dull yellow tint when light passes through.
Correction, Baking soda IS an abrasive.
Yes give your recepie please
Regular tooth paste has fluoride which we now know is so very harmful.
My issue with this is the flouride; I refuse to use it. However, I may try the other pre-rinse that she recommends. I haven't used the harmful products for teeth whitening and don't plan to do so.
if you drink water you drink fluoride, fluoride in the water. ☺
I struggle with that too. I don't like the idea of fluoride and I distrust it.
@@slavi7191
Some municipal water departments DO NOT add fluoride to the public water supply. Call your local department and ASK! Can we trust them to tell us the TRUTH? GOOD QUESTION!😮😉🤨
no you can't trust them @@cynthiashores57. fluoride is an industrial by-product and putting it in the water for us to drink is their way of disposing of said by-product.
The chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water are industrial byproducts from the phosphate fertilizer industry. These chemicals include fluorosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride. It is important to note that the fluoride added to drinking water is not a pharmaceutical grade additive, but an industrial waste byproduct. ☺
It’s not just xylitol, when you have a good balanced diet, with probiotics, yogurt, sauerkraut, kefir, etc will help.
Ph balance, no toxic foods
Exactly to fix the gut were the problem actually starts. I love kefir. Right now unfortunately not available for me at all since I am travelling in Asia/Phillipines.
Nutritious vegetables are also really important for high-quality saliva.
Thank you for being here for all of us.
Dr. Ellie is a rockstar 🦷🪥
even the ingestion of a small amount of xylitol can cause severely low blood sugar, seizures or liver injury.
@@wanndon170You don't know what you're talking about your delusional
Hey Dr Ellie, i have been doing your protocol for 5 to 6 months now and im really happy with it, my gum rescission has stopped but im yet to see it grow back but im here for the long haul...
one of my dentists i had when i was a kid explained to me that the enamel grows clear and when it grows perfectly you see the colour of the dentine shine through and thats why my teeth would never appear super white, he also explained that when the enamel grows imperfectly that the structure criss crossed and reflects more white light back and that is why some people appear to have whiter teeth, but then he said my teeth were stronger and if everyone had teeth like me he would go out of business... ive only ever needed one filling and im now 52.
i am though struggling in the UK to find a good affordable source of xylitol gummies or sweets they all seem way over priced. but i have found that xylitol powder by the KG is an affordable option just not sure how i should use it...any ideas?
Zellies mints should be available soon on Amazon UK. You can use granular xylitol. One teaspoon per day (to total about 6 grams) but take this in small divided doses x5 or x6 daily at the conclusion of meals. Try not to eat or drink for an hour afterward.
Dr Ellie kindly guided me in using xylitol crystals a few weeks back, and it’s super easy. I can’t tolerate the mints and other forms but the crystals are great. Very similar to sugar crystals. I broke my bags down into containers with lids and a spoon inside. You just melt it in your mouth, and swish around so it coats your entire mouth. I then spit out the excess in the sink. I’m a mouth breather so I also do a dose before bed to protect my mouth. Be careful if you have dogs because it is lethal to them even in small amounts.
thank you, ill try that! @@dr.elliephillips
Hi and thanks, yes im not a mint fan either and yes im aware its poisonous to dogs, i keep it well away from my pupper..@@Maggie-zr2ow
@@Maggie-zr2owif I understand correctly you just put the xylitol in your mouth and wait for it to melt?
Your advice is incredible! I have been using some of the products because I live in Thailand and cannot buy all the products. We have Lotte xylitol gum and mints which help a lot. I used to brush my teeth 5 x a day and reduced to before breakfast, rinsing after breakfast, then before bed, but using Listerine mint mouthwash after meals. I have zero plaque and I used to have to use a dental scaler to remove it myself all the time, and, of course, every six months. My last visit I had zero plaque. This is definitely due to your tips about sipping water, letting saliva build up, and using the mouthwashes you advise except the Closys as it is not here. i take a half tsp of xylitol after a meal and let saliva build up and swish it in my mouth for a few minutes, then swallow. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU!!!!! it works followed the protocol in 3 weeks I already have the bacteria coming off my teeth.
I remember (maybe 20 years ago or so) that MANY chewing gums were sweetened with Xylitol. You would see them all at the checkout counter with big letters saying XYLITOL. Then they just stopped! Now one is hard-pressed to find ANY candy or gum using xylitol.
Now, I believe I know why.
I saw gum at Target said Xylitol
@@Sunny74- What’s it called?
Trident has xylitol
According to my anthropology professor, people started getting lots of tooth decay when they started eating dried fruit. Dried fruit sticks to your teeth for many hours .
That's an ascientific take.
Thanks for the great advice! I found a cheaper version of xylitol than the one you're selling. Now I feel like good dental health is within reach! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I found your channel and this info! In my 40s and I've never done any whitening even though I do need it. I'm currently doing Invisalign + prob veneers on mis-shapen teeth afterwards. Orthodontist is already pushing for whitening and I'm wary - now very wary after watching this! Keen to first follow your recommendations and see. I hope your online store soon ships internationally (ie, to Australia) as I currently can't support your products.

Used to bleach my teeth with peroxide, but had to stop due to receding and inflamed gums. My teeth started going yellow, so have been brushing my teeth with coconut oil and also Miswak powder, for a month. My teeth have become so much whiter! I keep getting compliments on how lovely my teeth look. Plus my gums are looking pink and healthy again.
Thanks for your loving videos. When I moved to UK, I realised people don't eat fruit after every meal like we do back home, and like to sip drinks even while walking so gradually I stopped eating fruit after meal too and got a bit of sipping habit and drink while walking; but now that you have mentioned about xylitol, I am thinking maybe Persian people ate fruit after meal because of that, to increase their mouth soliva filled with natural xylitol from fruits.
I will definately going to buy your book and maybe your system if I can find in UK and am greatfull for your passion and time. I beleive world has no other choice but to follow all these good people on social media and try to make a new living by focusing on helping people not fooling them.
Now I'm thinking why everyone back home also drink tea with dates after every meal for generation, and alway say to always eat and drink when you're sitting, and sit for at least further 15min after every meal; maybe that's something to research!

If 70 year old (friend of your mom) had spectacular results using your system I believe I also will get there too 🙂 I started your protocol almost 3 months ago. I am using it twice a day and since I couldn't purchase your Zellie's here in Europe I simply use high quality Xylitol after each meal or drink (take a small amount 1/5 of teaspoon and spread it with my tounge then I spit it out).

@@Evelynall. I bought Xylitol powder from Amazon. I just swish a bit in my mouth.
Please tell me, which product you use in Europe for the first mouth watch and as a toothpaste. I can't buy the recommended US products in Germany. I would really like to try Ellie's system.
Yes, just buy Xylitol. In Germany, supermarkets sell it and drug stores.
But beware, in some people it causes severe bloating. Maybe it is even better to spit it out after use instead of ingesting pills.
Wonderful! Thank you so much Ellie! I sent your video to several family members and friends. So clear and refreshing, how you present your experience and findings.

Hi, I´d like to add to my previous comment that I do recommend flossing for people who have some pockets in their gums. I did the tooth care system without flossing and one of my gums started to bleed because there was still some small particle of food stuck inside. You cannot see or notice it, so I´ll keep carefully flossing as part of my routine, to be sure. I treated the inflammation applying natural honey (anti bacterial) and aloe vera a couple of times a day to the gums. Also a drop of tea tree oil in your mouthwash or mixed with some water have scientifically been proven to be as effective as clorhexidine to treat cases of gingivitis. It also produces less irritation to the mucous tissue in the mouth.
I´ll stopped using Listerine Mint because it irritates my gums too much. Dr. Ellie, does the formula you recommend have alcohol and benzoic acid? Because the original version is no where to be found here and the Mint version has these ingredients. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!!
@msSAN300, I have the original version and it does have alcohol (26.9%) and benzoic acid. This is the ingredient list: Active ingredients: Eucalyptol 0.092%; Menthol 0.042%; Methyl Salicylate 0.060%; Thymol 0.064%. Inactive ingredients: Water, alcohol (26.9% v/v), benzoic acid, poloxamer 407, sodium benzoate, caramel. Hope this helps.
She says flossing below the gumline causes gum recession.
A good toothbrush and proper brushing technique will remove particles in gum pockets. Brush the gums in circular motions as well as brushing the teeth.
@@chrislastnam6822you mean into the gumline?
She mentioned in other vids that listerine is acidic and has alcohol, which is why her system follows with ACT.. listerine never to be used alone.
What about whitening the teeth with UV light? I believe that is also offered. I’m sure it’s not good either, but was wondering how exactly it actually harms the teeth, if you happen to know. Thank you for your great videos. 🙏
UV light kills good bacteria that prevent the bad bacteria from producing plaque so what you're essentially doing is killing off the good guys that are helping your body defend against bad bacteria. We are made up of multiple colonies of good bacteria all throughout our body so it's important to keep their numbers high.
I would like to know the answer to this too
It's not just UV light. The light activates a peroxide gel product they put on the teeth.
I just read that UV actually creates more exposed grooves making teeth more vulnerable to stress.
I would think UV light would kill your good oral bacteria, which you need to protect your teeth and gums.
@@prague7706 apparently it doesn't do anything, the gel by itself does all the work.
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm 49 years old, never had a cavity and follow a whole food plant-based 'diet' for the past 20+ years. I'm healthy, haven't had a cold in about 20 years, exercise everyday etc. Anyway, for the past 30 years or so I have swished around my mouth most days 2% hydrogen peroxide before I brush with a 'natural' baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) toothpaste. I was told this hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate combo was the best defense against cavities (contrary to the modern dentists' suggestions). I was told this by several people I have met (each at different times) who were all over 70 and who each never had a cavity themselves after using this combination since childhood. Anyway, I don't use, and have never used, any whitening products like you warn about, however I do swish around my mouth this capful of hydrogen peroxide 2% before brushing. In your mind, does this pose the same damage as the peroxide whitening products on the market? What are your thoughts on 20 second mouth swish with hydrogen peroxide before brushing? Again, I've never had a cavity, and everyone else in my family has by their 20s. Thanks again.
ps...I just listened to rest of video, and now have another question; my saliva PH is always 7.4 - 7.5, but I do drink water all day long. I do it not out of any kind of training, but honestly because I am always thirsty. I drink an average of over a gallon of water (reverse osmosis micro-filtered) a day everyday. My teeth are not as white as they once were, and I'd like to whiten them, but I feel I am always thirsty and so I'm always drinking water. Considering my PH on saliva strips is always alkaline, could you explain this to me? I really don't want to go for periods of time without drinking water. Again, thank you.
She is against using H2O2, baking soda, tea tree oil or cloves. .
Apologies up front if I have read your comment wrong, because you are obviously an intelligent person and I mean no harm in my following comments…Excessive thirst can be a sign of something else being wrong. One of those things is diabetes, even if you have what you always considered as a good diet and are a healthy body weight that has served you well in the past, those things can change with age, so what was once serving us well can become a problem. Anyway I hope the good Dr E gets back to you because your questions are interesting.
Add minerals to your water, otherwise RO will leach them from your body. Also structuring your water should help it absorb better into your body. You may be thirsty for these 2 reasons, and they are inexpensive to resolve!
@@augustsnowfall5189 no reason to apologize, thanks for the kind words, and I appreciate it. But no, my A1c is '5'. In fact I just helped my Mom (who moved near me 2 years ago), who had an A1c of 11.5 (very far-end diabetic - while on metformin and the rest of the diabetic Pharma cocktail) get her A1c down to 6 and now taking no medicine at all. Simply by going on a whole food plant-based diet, and eliminating oils, as well as an exercise program I designed for her (I'm a physical therapist). She is now on the low end of pre-diabetes, after being full blown diabetic, on the drugs for 15 years.
@@chrislastnam6822 thanks, I watched one of her longer videos telling her suggested protocol after this video and saw that
Hi everyone, I did an in office professional Philips Zoom whitening about 6 months ago and do not recommend it. First of all, I have noticed very little difference in the change of colour. They were not yellow at all to start with. I guess I was getting used to seeing the white teeth in commercials and advertising and just thought mine were not white enough.
I always thought I took good care of my teeth since I do not have any sugar in my diet and brush 2 or 3 times a day. Since then, I actually discovered what did most of the harm to my teeth were the daily fresh orange juice every morning and the cup of tea after that (without rinsing my mouth afterwards) I have always thought only sugar was the issue not the acids in food.
I just noticed a gum was bleeding the other day and I have never had issues with my gums before! I´m sure the whitening is bad for your enamel in the long run, but for the gums it´s really bad from the get go. They receded somewhat after the bleaching and show no signs of recovery.
At least this experience helped me to make my teeth a priority from now. I´m fifty and I want to keep them healthy and functional, not too bothered with them being white or not anymore! 🙋♀
I see in all her videos.. comments saying they used her system..what's her system or protocol?? Seems they are promoting her methods or products to sale

You can buy the system from her at her website and she makes money off of that but she should because you’re essentially reimbursing her for the products she bought and assembled for you. You can buy these products yourself wherever they’re sold. Dr Ellie does make a xylitol product called Zellie’s Mints. It’s actually a public service that she does this because it’s not easy finding xylitol products. She also sells a program at her website that teaches about her entire program so you don’t have to piece it all together from multiple videos. All this information is basically for free to us, and I’m super grateful to Dr Ellie because she has educated us while most of mainstream dentistry has not. My own dentist and hygienist have done nothing to educate me. I knew nothing about the wonders of xylitol. They never explained the dangers of an acidic mouth. They constantly promote damaging teeth whitening. What I’ve figured out, and others might chime in here, is that Dr Ellie has put together a mouth care system based on her decades of dentistry experience, as well as educating us on the science behind what we need to do and why. She’s amazing.
@@WordAboveAllthx
Thank you dr. Ellie. About a month ago i noticed terrible receding gums and I failed to understand why as I have good oral health care, don’t smoke, no
Gingivitis… i just didn’t get it. I refused to accept that gums don’t grow back as the body will always try to restore itself one way or another. I was so grateful to be guided to your video. It all made sense… acidity. I religiously drank lemon water for decades in the morning before eating fruit, then added kefir water and kombucha ( strong kombucha) to my evening routine just before brushing my teeth. On top of that I had used whitening strips on and off over time… it was basics an accident waiting to happen. Once I saw your video I immediately stopped these acidic drinks. And started chewing xylitol gum immediate after I eat or drink. My teeth are returning smooth and thicker again and are returning to their natural whiteness. I had been using pretty good products oral B enamel densifying tooth paste en vitis sensitive mouthwash which also helps with regrowing enamel. I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted before as I was still drinking those horrible drinks, but now I’m amazed at the results after not even a month. The situation was so bad I still have a long way to go. I may try to get the other two products to see if they help speed up recovery, but so far I cannot thank you enough for putting out this info 💖💖
Xylitol is from the Birch tree… if you think of this sugar.. the birch tree has milk what we use for kidney stones 🥰💕
I’ve had good luck with this system over the last few months with the exception of the regular crest toothpaste. For some reason it caused massive staining in a short period of time, but switching to Colgate regular paste fixed it.
Are you certain you had the correct Crest paste with sodium - NOT stannous- fluoride? The ProHealth is the wrong kind.
@@dr.elliephillips thank you very much for the response Dr. Phillips. Yes, I was very careful to order & receive the original Crest paste with sodium fluoride (0.243%). I have no idea what in Crest causes this rapid staining for me but about 20 years ago I tried Crest paste with the same issue. Except back then it took me a couple years to figure it out, and oddly regular old Colgate paste is fine. If there is a concern with Colgate regular paste and you have a different recommendation I’d be happy to try it. Thank you for your help & time!
This has been the most informal Dental video I have ever seen, along with your other vids. I haven't been to a dentist in yrs, I'll be going soon for a partial and glad I saw this first before being coerced into teeth whitening. I don't do fluoride, have had a berkey water filter for over 15 yrs now. Thank you so much for this much needed information, I'll be sending my mother this video now.
If you’re against fluoride, maybe check out the nano-hydroxyapatite toothpastes.
@@Maggie-zr2ow but many of them contain glycerin, so be careful of that
@@johnna-l7t Remind me, how’s glycerin bad? Thanks😊
@@Maggie-zr2ow I believe it puts a coating on the teeth that causes the minerals to have trouble getting through.
@@johnna-l7t Yikes, that’s not good at all. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look into this further.
I feel so encouraged to find this,. thanks! I will embark on your recommended tooth care very soon.
I love your teaching, it is simple and straightforward. Truly, eradicating the source of the problem makes things less complicated. I am applying your technics and I am noticing an improvement here. God bless you.❤
I love these the kinf od videos, giving free info! Thank you Dr. Ellie, if you could make the videos a bit shorter I think that would be amazing. Also I am using a dental chatbot I came across for oral health advice and it's amazing
Hello! Would love to know the chatbot name and know whether it is free. Been looking for one that i can use since I am trying to review for the boards. Ty 🤍
Right on! ! Dr. Ellie's vids are absolute gems.btw, that dental chatbot sounds intriguing! Mind sharing where you found it? I could use some solid oral health advice too.🥺
hey.. i think they're referring to KRISS AI, cos i saw a post on fb about a dental chatbot, maybe that's it hehe i hope this helps@@stormyay
@@soposhhh1122 I'm also curious about the chatbot mentioned. Then I saw your comment,,,, I was also thinking that he or she might be referring to Kriss AI 😅😅.
The ADA is like the FDA. You should never fully trust these two entities.
Enamel is made of hydroxyapatite. Fluoride is added to toothpaste so that it becomes incorporated into the enamel in the form of hydroxyfluoroapatite, which is a stronger structure.
I sip as a mechanism to cope with the emotional stress. Many people do now. It is bad.
Thank you for adding another argument to stop that bad habit.
Wonder.. would chewing gum help? If so.. you could replace the sipping w/ chewing the xylitol gum... that would be perfect.. best of luck..
I use her program and stopped bleaching for almost six months .my teeth are happier and just as white 😅
I felt a difference instantly after doing this for two days
Brilliant! Thank you Dr. Ellie Phillips for the informative dental video. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
I bought everything Dr. Phillips recommends! I have receding gums with tooth loss at the base! Not sure if there is much hope, but will do what she is saying. I have had tooth sensitivity for a long time! I appreciate her coming out to speak the truth. Dental work is costly and painful, so proactive dental care is important. Nobody wants an infection going into their bloodstream! Tooth health really does equal overall health!
So do I. Keep us up to date.
شكرا جزيلا لك أنتي دكتوره حقيقية❤ ممتنه لكل ماتقدمينه
I can’t tolerate mint due to radiation to my throat & tongue. This has made the soft tissue in my mouth, tongue & throat extremely sensitive.
The only toothpaste that does set my mouth on fire is mild biotene, gentle mint flavor can be painful
I don’t produce saliva. It’s been recommended by dentists to keep my mouth moist w frequent sips of water
How does one, like myself, who has gone through radiation treatment for throat & tongue cancer follow this program?
I started the routine and yes my teeth feel better gums are starting to heal and it’s only been a week. I don’t use the alcohol listerine. Too much burn. I do
Floss but I also do a turmeric pack on some gums that were red and I cannot tell you it healed the redness and my teeth have never been whiter. It does take time every night but I will stick to it bc the results have been so good.
You are brilliant and have integrity. Thankyou x
Hydroxyapatite is said to help whiten teeth. There's also CPP-ACP but there's some opinions that say it will block minerals from entering the structure.
Thank you, Dr. Ellie for giving me hope. I’m 66 and just discovered your system. I bought the Closys and Listerine and old fashioned Crest yesterday, plus a bunch of Pure Cylitol gum and granulated Xylitol. Your system makes so much sense. God bless you
Happy to know this is helpful!
Hey Katherine, if you ever see this - What brand xylitol granules and gum ?
Dear Dr. Ellie, really appreciate your professional knowledge, sincerity, and honesty. I have tried your mouth care system for two and a half months. My teeth have become smoother and my gums keep growing back! While this makes me really happy, something scary is also happening. My teeth become yellower and yellower instead of whiter and whiter as I would expect. The yellowish color started between the teeth and gradually spread to the front. And three of my lower front teeth got yellow from the top and gradually moved to the bottom. I don't understand why. Have I been drinking too little water, so my mouth has been too dry? Have plagues been growing between the teeth? I am so tempted to use floss or dental picks to clean between teeth. What should I do now? My husband is also using the mouth care system. He notices plagues building up between teeth. Can you help, Dr. Ellie? I'm worried.
Let me share more on my experience. Three months ago, before I could find any of your recommended products, I first stopped the habit of sipping and started massaging my gums. After three days, to my amazement, my receding gums started to grow back. The interdental brushes could no longer go through the gaps. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then I decided to try your mouth care system. I am residing in Turkey. I could not find all of your recommended products. To start with, I bought the 100% xylitol in granulated form, your recommended Listerine, and ACT (Very expensive). I couldn't find Crest or any substitute toothpaste with the most basic ingredients, so I used the toothpaste that I had (Parodontax (with sodium bicarbonate)). After two weeks, I noticed some yellowish color between the teeth and also on the lower front teeth. But I didn't give up the mouth care system. I kept going. After finishing the bottle of ACT, I switched to Colgate Plax (with similar ingredients to ACT). For toothpaste, I switch to Oral B 1-2-3 (Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Sorbitol, SLS, Cellulose Gum, Aroma, Trisodium Phosphate, Sodium Fluoride, Carbomer, Sodium Saccharin, Glycerin, Limonene, Sodium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 80, CI42090). Only one week ago, I managed to buy your recommended toothbrush.
What should I do now? Please help.
THANK YOU Dr Phillips for your chapters! I know this is added time to the editing process yet it helps me tremendously. Thank you. Now…. how do I get you to respond to my questions. 😊 I know you’re incredibly busy, and my own dentist is no help. I did send an Instagram message & I asked on another current video. Loving my new dental routine though!
I just love your teachings. Love you Ellie ❤
Quick plaque buildup in a short time that also quickly calcifies is a serious problem, that is caused by multiple things. Also it is a sign you have notenough of certain nutrients and is an indicator that your arteries are also calcifying and other parts of your body. If you have not enough magnesium ratio to calcium ratio ( you need at the same time more calcium than magnesium when consuming calcium rich foods ( so be aware of calcium supplementation, without magnesium! ) + not enough K2/K1.
Not enough vitamin C...
My father had never tartar buildup and hardened plaque, but when he was diagnosed with severe arterial calcium plaque and clogged arteries, his plaque ( hardened tartar ) was very severe too. So people be aware>>> if your teeth develope very quickly tartar, your arteries are also clogged with calcium depisits!
My father had no tartar buildup and NEVER BRUSHED HIS TEETH IN HIS LIFE! Until his arteries where calcified! Get checked with the CORONARY calcium score test, IF your teeth have severe calcium deposits buildup! My father also consumed high amounts of calcium by drinking everyday milk, cheese, but lacked magnesium, K1/K2!
Not every tartar buildup is from bad oral cleaning.
Also...if you use aggressive toothpaste and other products like mouthwash, antibiotics, fluoride, to much dental cleanings with again products that dentists use, your teeth lose their own enamel and get very weak by eliminating the good bacteria also, which again makes your oral biome compromized with decaying teeth, where also again tartar builds up.
Be gentle to your teeth and also clise your mouth when sleeping, so your mouth stays humid inside, instead of drying out ( tape your mouth at night ). Dry mouth is very bad for your gums and teeth, so people with Sjörgen syndrome need extra care! Sjörgen syndrome is again a sign of not enough of certain nutrients, like vitamin A, D, E, K and other nutrients ( dry mouth and eyes are not normal and are often caused by this nutrient deficiencies and so on.
If you have diabetes, pre- diabetes your oral health is compromuzed also. People with hashimoto, thyroid disease are also at risk for oral problems.
Not everything is related to poor oral hygiene.
Also, some bacteria cause also toothdecay if they are too abundant in your iral biome. You need to check your saliva under an electron mucroscope! No many dentists have a microscope to check for certain bacterias in your mouth.
Antibiotics kill the bad, but also the good, so your oral biome is destroyed too, with again oral problems as a result.
Your diet is soooo important to your oral health. What you drink and eat is key to oral health.
Smoking, alcohol is sooo bad too.
Smoking and alcohol dries up your mucosa in your mouth, kills good bacteria also and deprives your oral tissue from enough oxigen, to name a few problems, but there are more. Also, 1 cigaret deprives you of 60 mg of vitamin C if i am correct! Vitamin C is needed for collagen production and to strengthen connective tissue ( like your gums for example ).
Vitamin B12 and other B vitamins, zink are also needed for oral health.
Consuming fruitjuices, coffee also destroys your teeth.
Cleaning after eating fruits also.
Sugar, flour are also a culprit.
The list goes on.
People please, research yourself all you can find, because dentists normally do not tell you much. But promote their products, oral procedures to make money out of you.
Rootcanals are horrible too.
Amalgam fillings too!
Even other metals in your mouth and composites. Your body will decline too.
Bad breath is a serious thing and a sign also of other health issues.
Most people have also not enough stomac acid to digest food ( the symptoms of not enough stomac acids feel the same as to much stomac acids!!!
You need enough stomac acid bile to digest food, otherwise you also get bad breath. Bad breath can also be a sign of sepsis, liver failure and other serious issues. Depending on the smell of your breath different issues are seen.
Coconut oil pulling has good results to keep your teeth and gums in better shape for some people. Some use virgin sesami oil too.
Work on your diet.
Dr. Erik Berg
Dr. Peter Osborne
Dr. Ken Berry
Just to name a few people with knowledge that can be useful to resolve issues and to understand your body, diet and so on.
Good luck!
With all due respect, it would really help if you broke your videos down into chapters. Thank you.
What do you mean chapters? She has the video markers, isn’t that like chapters? I apologize, I’m a little slow😬
@@aveleedeleon7694don’t apologise, you’re right, I think the other person is a little slow or very impatient 😂
@@TayWoode they might have been added after the comment was made... Just because this person appears to have made a stupid comment doesn't necessarily mean that it was when it was posted.
Thanks! I fast anyway so now I will leave time for saliva to do it's thing. I've used Now Foods xylitol toothpaste and oral rinse for years. I changed to using allulose as an alternative sweetener. I'll get some xylitol for that last cup of tea at night.
Use xylitol after meals and drinks. Don’t add it into drinks. It works best by itself - not dissolved in liquids.
I brush my teeth with baking soda.. nothing added. I make a paste with spring water.. And I have no problem with whitening.
