Dr. Ellie is the best. Ive tried her mouth care the last 4 months with amazing results. My bleeding gums have gone away, my breath and overall mouth taste feels fresh, my teeth are getting whiter and they are very smooth, no flossing necessary. Exactly as she described. Almost seems too good to be true, but it really works. My little one loves Dr. Ellie’s xylitol mints which i get on Amazon as well, and given the positive results this will likely become a lifelong ritual. Can’t thank Dr. Ellie enough. I purchase Dr. Ellie’s products only, to support her and as a token of appreciation for the impact she has had on my oral health.

dr.elliephillips hey dr Ellie I have Listerine which ingredients list is Purified water Alcohol Benzoic acid Polyxame 407 Eucalyptol Methy salicate Thymol Sodium benzoate Menthol Caramel For original one Can I use it??? It's the only thing that is available in our country@@dr.elliephillips
I have a 2 year old and pretty much all of his teeth are in and they look great. It's nice to know i can give him all of the hacks in life i've learned over the years.
I’ve been experimenting a little with pH strips, xylitol and cheese. I eat something then test my saliva. Then use xylitol mints and test with pH strips and see the pH heading to balanced. Then eat a piece of cheese and…wow…the strips read right into the 7.0+ balanced range!! I don’t play doctor every day, but it’s great to see the confirmation with the strips and know the system is working!!!
This is the best Video about Xylitol I have seen on YT !!! Thank you so much for this Informations ! I have been useing Xylitol for one Year and now I will Start useing it my Kids... Greetings ftom Germany 🎉
Thank you for making this video!!! Now that I understand the ins and outs, I finally get to understand your system a lot more clearly. My child is on your system. I make xylitol water in a jar, and he gets to swoosh and gurgle it after eating (whenever he remembers). And at night after his routine, I give him some xylitol crystals to dissolve and swoosh. He spits it out because we don't really want extra calories 😅😂. Then he goes off to bed.
She speaks on it all of the time. If you’d do just a tiny bit of research and a tiny bit of thinking I’m sure you could answer this on your own and wouldn’t have to ask this question. As usual, it is a nonsense study where they took already sick fasting people and gave them a never even remotely suggested amount of xylitol - As with anything “scientific”, you can run a “study” or experiment or microscopic photo and have it say whatever you WANT it to say… So now you know you never need to ask this question ever again. Just use your own brain.
That´s what I was researching that Xylitol is like not such a great product. I´m still investigating. That´s the only issue I have with her method is this product. Maybe do the rest and skip that stuff?
Hi Dr. Ellie! I just came across your videos today and have been binge watching them! 😊 I'm from India and all the products you recommend aren't available here or if they are they are priced at unthinkable rates. Could you suggest substitute brands/products please. I tried to compare ingredients to find something that comes close but its really hard to figure it out. And thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. So very helpful!!

Hi Ellie thank you❤ I’m from England I bought Ultradex instead of closys as you recommend What would you recommend as a replacement for ACT as it’s very expensive to get in the uk
ok thank u dr ellie.also pls recommend me the brand name of xylitol crystals i must buy .i bought new foods xylitol powder but when i use it directly in my mouth to swish ,i find extremely sweet taste of it which somehow irritates my teeth ,nor i get the feel of freshness like how i get when i chew xylitol gums, so i am not sure if it is a good brand or not .and which are the other optional brands for xylitol crystals .pls suggest me.
There are many good granular xylitol brands; the most important thing to look for is that they are 100% xylitol crystals/granules with no other ingredients, and that they are non-GMO. Two good ones are Now Foods Xylitol and Xlear XyloSweet. It is normal for xylitol to taste extremely sweet because it tastes the same as regular sugar. It should never irritate the mouth, so you may be using too much at one time or leaving it in the mouth too long. One dose is 1 gram (1/5 to 1/4 teaspoon), and you don't need to leave it in any longer than just a minute or two - just until you notice that fresh rush of saliva. Dr. Ellie says you don't even need to hold it in the mouth for a while or swish it around or anything, but rather just chew it and swallow or whatever you want to do. Another possibly of sweetness irritating would also happen to you with other sweet foods; if that is the case, you may not be brushing your gums enough. Gum brushing should cover all of the gum areas back behind the teeth, on the front sides, above and below the teeth, and should be done vigorously. If your tooth sensitivity is more around certain teeth or certain areas, then brush the gums in those sensitive tooth areas more vigorously - for a little longer time and with a little more pressure. This will often stop tooth sensitivity within one day.
My child has digestive sensitivity to sugar alcohols. Xylitol use strikes me as very unnatural. I know it's in fruits but not in such concentrations, just like refined sugars. I am wondering about traditional solutions for natural oral health.
Our body MAKES 15 grams of xylitol every day. Even the tiniest amount used during childhood has been shown to prevent dental disease by FEEDING the mouths population of protective and good mouth bacteria. It’s a prebiotic in other words. In the gut xylitol is used by the gut bacteria that form butyrate - foundational for gut health. Xylitol is a pentose sugar - often included by those who believe in the power of glyconutrients for health and healing.
Thank you Dr Ellie. Would you please do a video on night guards? I have serious erosion at the front, top of gumline of only my front 2 teeth. I've stopped wearing my nightguard but not clear how to build up my teeth again.❤ Please help❤❤
Is your mouthcare system safe to do on a very compromised mouth with gum line cavities that go into the pulp? Or will it cause extreme pain and damage?
Dr. Ellie, I started following your system about 3-4 days ago. Though I haven’t started xylitol yet I have definitely seen improvement. My question is what effect will recreational cannabis use have on my oral health even if using your system? Thank you!
Hi,i had 8 fillings got done recently, 2 on wisdom teeth and others on molars, and the fillings chipped off before a month, can your methods work on my fillings, please reply and help me from future problems from getting fillings done. Waiting for your reply
It feeds the bad bacteria and suffocates them! Doesn’t harm the good bacteria! Gums grow back, no plaque, teeth get remunerative! Want believing believe it, else don’t sue it! Simple! Works for me!
The bad bacteria try to feed on it and they can’t so they die off which is good for your mouth. And the story is the good bacteria CAN feed on it- which is also good for your mouth. Calling it a “sugar substitute” is just all part of the opposing script. The script here says our bodies produce 15 grams of xylitol per day so if your body is producing it then it must be more than just a “sugar substitute”. Sounds logical - right? You can research this in the pushed 100% controlled zoo information to get us in formation on your own. It’s all out there….”scientific” and all….
Is the listerine supposed to have alcohol in it or is it okay to use the alcohol free version? Also, is the “original” (with caramel colouring instead of blue/ green) okay?
I used Crest toothpaste and massaged my gums, which were receding and pale. In the morning, I noticed they were red above the teeth. Is this normal? Could it be a sign that they are regenerating? I couldn't find your products in my country, so I used Colgate Plax mouthwash instead.
do we have to take xylitol for life even after we have seen improvements and we have no more tartar, gingivitis or cavities anymore ? Let's say 6 months to 2 years have passed ? do we still continue to take it ? What if we dont take it 5 times per day ? what if we take only after every meal and me personally I only eat 2 times per day most of the time and I drink only water - no snacks between ... do I still need to take it 5 times a day ? 5x2 = 10 xylitol mints everyday ... In one month this means 300 xylitol mints ... isn't that too much ?
Hi Dr. Ellie, I’m wondering, if you can answer: have you EVER seen anyone reverse a cavity that had already reached the dentin (or even the pulp)? Thank you - Ami
@@aymi6393 I recommend my system of care to everyone with cavities. You WILL get some reversal. You WILL get hardening and strengthening of the surrounding enamel, if the nerve is still alive you have a chance to save it by doing this. You must do everything - the CMCS x2 daily and Zellies followed by mouth resting …. For hours each day. Why not? If you were my patient I’d have you do this 6-12 months and then reassess the filling. What do you have to lose?
@ what I would have to lose is my health in other areas since I have an endocrine sensitive autoimmune disease with symptoms that I don’t want to exacerbate with the dyes and other ingredients found in the products in the CMCS which is why I emailed you recently to inquire about what the main beneficial ingredients in the products are so that I can make my own or find alternatives?
@@aymi6393 If you can't use these products, then you won't be doing the system at all; you would just be putting together your own mishmash of products to experiment with and see what happens. Dr. Ellie has said that she doesn't know what specifically makes these products work so well as a system; it could even be something in their inactive ingredients that makes the "magic" work, which is not what you would expect. So it isn't necessarily just about a main active ingredient to look for. That's why you cannot substitute or omit any of the products, or the system may not give the pretty much guaranteed results. If you are bent on making up your own system, then pull up the labels for each product and see their ingredients.
I saw a video that said there is no good or bad bacteria. It’s basically the condition of the flesh of the body. The microbes and bacteria are just parts of our body but not the actual cause that triggers any decline of the soft flesh or hard tooth. The food we eat and sunshine matters and not eating all the time which creates continuous acid saliva . Can you do videos for people who are suffering with stressful situations like war and abuse and depression or danger and their teeth are just failing and what are some hacks as they teeth continue to fail? What about Silver Diamine Fluoride to fix holes that have lost fillings ? And a video about non-restorative , drilless dentistry?
@@gingerginger4307 STANNOUS fluoride is toxic to mouth bacteria. Strong concentrations of fluoride can be toxic also. Ingesting too much fluoride can be detrimental - particularly to children under the age of six. So add all this together or be non specific and your comment may be correct….. BUT I recommend dilute sodium fluoride used topically in small amounts to protect teeth and avoid the plastic toxicity of sealants and fillings and the physical damage and bacterial upset caused by dental treatments of all kinds. I have used this system over 40 years and so do all my family - kids and grandkids - enjoying perfect oral health without concern.
Hi Dr. Ellie! My Mom's teeth enamel (66) yrs old was shaved & become weak & too yellowish, can your oral care program help her to whiten her teeth even with the damage caused by her dentist to the enamil especiaaly the color & the weakness of the teeth itself where you can see the dentine?
I don't know - but it would be worth a try if she is interested......there is nothing to lose. BUT realize that this can take a couple of years to fully whiten teeth.
@dr.elliephillips What is going on with your new book that was supposed to go on sale yesterday, Jan 28th? , Initially, it was supposed to be released on Sep 2024, then it was pushed to Jan 28th, 2025 and now it says "Backordered" for 2 months?! This is ridiculous and unacceptable considering you have been promoting it for the past year. I have sent you several messages here, on your FB page and on Instagram and you won't answer.
My tongue is not red in colour.it is always whitish end of the day and i have to scrap it hard with my toothbrush to clean it .can you please advise some way to clean it
It means either your gut is acidic...or your on some kind of medication...you need to keep ur gut alkaline by reducing spices...tea..coffee...soda...sugary food...!!
@@theanttfamily1242 I’ve never recommended flossing or tongue scraping. It’s possible to do mechanical disruption and damage. My strategies gently adjust the mouth biochemistry to achieve overall health of the entire environment.
@@dr.elliephillips How about a child who is going to do braces? Cleaning will be difficult. Would careful and gentle flossing or interdental brushes be ok due to braces, on top of using your system while having braces? Safe?
Hi Dr. Ellie, What do you think about Erythritol instead of or in tandem with xylitol? I’ve just started doing mouth rinses with a combo of half and half xylitol and erythritol because I read studies showing erythritol might be even better than xylitol in some ways. And it also has lower glycemic index. Is it okay to just take xylitol in a mouth rinse and not actually eat it? I’m a bit sensitive to it and would prefer not to actually ingest it all day. Also: why did you say that children who get fillings in childhood could have digestive issues later on - what’s the correlation there or how would fillings contribute to this? Would it be because they might trap bacteria inside? But if someone healed/ remineralized their tooth wouldn’t it do the same thing - trap bacteria inside?
Hello Doctor. I have few concerns and queries. It would be really helpful to me if you could reply. I am living in India and out of your CMCS products, only Crest toothpaste is available here. Could you please suggest me any alternatives for the remaining four products which would be available in India? I have a small cavity with no pain or sensitivity. I believe the cavity is still on my enamel. Can I reverse that using your system? How long will it take? And is it normal to experience minor sensitivity after getting a cavity filled? I got it filled today only. Will it go away? I experienced minor pain while filling that tooth. Is it a serious issue? That cavity was small outside.
I just started your program a couple days ago. Is it normal for my gums that are usually sore to feel extra sore at the beginning of the journey? It's almost like they're extra sensitive.
@@sophier7752 cut down the time you are doing the final two rinses. Cut way back for a week and then try again. But use all the rinses - just shorten the Listerine and ACT.

Thank you Dr Ellie! But where is the link of xylitol powder you have shown on your RUclips?.
Hi Dr. Ellie! Looking for substitute products here in India. For the ACT rinse, I found 2 alternatives: 1. Colgate Phos-flur with 0.044% sodium flouride 2. Chlorexidine mouthwash with 0.05% sodium flouride (but the chlorexidine is 0.2%). 3. A mouthwash with 0.2% sodium flouride. Which one do you recommend? Is 0.044% sufficient?? Is 0.2% too much?
Dr Ellie, I have been using your complete mouth for about 2months now and I love how it makes my teeth feel …..BUT, Dr Ellie I have been hearing ALOT about how MOUTHWASH DESTROYS the Nitric Oxide and the microbiom in my mouth. I have some high blood pressure and Dr Nathan Bryan says fluoride and popular mouthwashes is very detrimental for all organs of our bodies BECAUSE the nitric oxide production is harmed. PLEASE RESPOND because I have many family and friends who have started on your protocol because of my recommendation. Now I feel like I should call and warn them. I am almost 80 years old. HELP!!!!
@@karendavidson1182 I know Nathan Bryant and he - for his own agenda reasons- refuses to talk to me. I sell NO testing strips on my website SPECIFICALLY so YOU can see that all this is nonsense. The only mouth rinse that causes a NO problem is Chlorhexidine - a hospital grade antiseptic. The interpretation that ALL mouth rinse causes these problems began with a flawed study in obese individuals with gum disease - nuances the study people forgot to mention. Believe me this silly idea has taken the internet by storm - but it is incorrect and is based on a faulty understanding of the mouth ecosystem - which has two populations. One population is easily washed away but regenerated by the stable biofilm population. My advice is to read the second edition of my book KISS Your Dentist goodbye ( Amazon) and it will show you how what they are saying is inaccurate and wrong. There are YT videos out there where I do a NO test to show my almost perfect nitric oxide levels at 75 years old…….
🦷I was wondering if you could recommend a toothpaste and a chewing gum that has BOTH nano Hydroxyapatite and xylitol in it and what you think about Hydroxyapatite? 🙏🪥

Hello Dr. Ellie, please help. I have been using your system for three months. In the first few days some tartar may have developed. I need to know if this tartar will go away or if I should go to the dentist to have it cleaned, but I think if I do that I would lose my progress. Please let me know what should I do, Thanks!
Hi Dr. Ellie, I used your Xylitol not long ago and found out that I’m allergic to Xylitol, what are some other great alternatives to this? I would really appreciate your reply to this 🙏 Thank you! Been following your tips and just need a replacement for Xylitol
@@truthalone777 I recommend a flossing toothbrush - MOUTHWATCHERS brushes - game changers. Don’t forget the power of mouth resting after xylitol - another key strategy.
@@truthalone777 Then try to find a local toothbrush that is medium-firm with dense bristles (that is how Dr. Plotka's brushes are). You need two of them - one for AM and one for PM so that each one can thoroughly air-dry for 24 hours between uses. Do not ever use any soft toothbrushes; they will not be able to do the job.

@@aymi6393 I recommend my system of care to everyone with cavities. You WILL get some reversal. You WILL get hardening and strengthening of the surrounding enamel, if the nerve is still alive you have a chance to save it by doing this.
You must do everything - the CMCS x2 daily and Zellies followed by mouth resting …. For hours each day. Why not?
If you were my patient I’d have you do this 6-12 months and then reassess the filling. What do you have to lose?
@ what I would have to lose is my health in other areas since I have an endocrine sensitive autoimmune disease with symptoms that I don’t want to exacerbate with the dyes and other ingredients found in the products in the CMCS which is why I emailed you recently to inquire about what the main beneficial ingredients in the products are so that I can make my own or find alternatives?
@@aymi6393 If you can't use these products, then you won't be doing the system at all; you would just be putting together your own mishmash of products to experiment with and see what happens. Dr. Ellie has said that she doesn't know what specifically makes these products work so well as a system; it could even be something in their inactive ingredients that makes the "magic" work, which is not what you would expect. So it isn't necessarily just about a main active ingredient to look for. That's why you cannot substitute or omit any of the products, or the system may not give the pretty much guaranteed results.
If you are bent on making up your own system, then pull up the labels for each product and see their ingredients.
I saw a video that said there is no good or bad bacteria. It’s basically the condition of the flesh of the body. The microbes and bacteria are just parts of our body but not the actual cause that triggers any decline of the soft flesh or hard tooth. The food we eat and sunshine matters and not eating all the time which creates continuous acid saliva . Can you do videos for people who are suffering with stressful situations like war and abuse and depression or danger and their teeth are just failing and what are some hacks as they teeth continue to fail? What about Silver Diamine Fluoride to fix holes that have lost fillings ? And a video about non-restorative , drilless dentistry?
Sodium fluoride is considered toxic, yet you're suggesting kids will use it regularly. Any thoughts on that?
@@gingerginger4307 STANNOUS fluoride is toxic to mouth bacteria. Strong concentrations of fluoride can be toxic also. Ingesting too much fluoride can be detrimental - particularly to children under the age of six. So add all this together or be non specific and your comment may be correct….. BUT I recommend dilute sodium fluoride used topically in small amounts to protect teeth and avoid the plastic toxicity of sealants and fillings and the physical damage and bacterial upset caused by dental treatments of all kinds. I have used this system over 40 years and so do all my family - kids and grandkids - enjoying perfect oral health without concern.
Hi Dr. Ellie! My Mom's teeth enamel (66) yrs old was shaved & become weak & too yellowish, can your oral care program help her to whiten her teeth even with the damage caused by her dentist to the enamil especiaaly the color & the weakness of the teeth itself where you can see the dentine?
I don't know - but it would be worth a try if she is interested......there is nothing to lose.
BUT realize that this can take a couple of years to fully whiten teeth.
Why was the dentist shaving off her tooth enamel?
@dr.elliephillips What is going on with your new book that was supposed to go on sale yesterday, Jan 28th? , Initially, it was supposed to be released on Sep 2024, then it was pushed to Jan 28th, 2025 and now it says "Backordered" for 2 months?! This is ridiculous and unacceptable considering you have been promoting it for the past year. I have sent you several messages here, on your FB page and on Instagram and you won't answer.
My tongue is not red in colour.it is always whitish end of the day and i have to scrap it hard with my toothbrush to clean it .can you please advise some way to clean it
Thats gut related
It means either your gut is acidic...or your on some kind of medication...you need to keep ur gut alkaline by reducing spices...tea..coffee...soda...sugary food...!!
Nice!
Dr. Ellie , do you recommend using a tongue scraper for adults and kids why or why not?
@@theanttfamily1242 I’ve never recommended flossing or tongue scraping. It’s possible to do mechanical disruption and damage. My strategies gently adjust the mouth biochemistry to achieve overall health of the entire environment.
@@dr.elliephillips How about a child who is going to do braces? Cleaning will be difficult. Would careful and gentle flossing or interdental brushes be ok due to braces, on top of using your system while having braces? Safe?
@ My system would be ideal as it will work even without flossing.
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you Dr Ellie!
Wow! The absolute worst advice. My mind is blown 😂
Thank you Dr. Ellie. I am having a difficult time with my son who has autism and simply does not spit😩
Health and love to your family 🧡
@@Finn_RiverThank you so much 😊
@@purityandplants❤ just use xylitol with him.
Hi Dr. Ellie,
What do you think about Erythritol instead of or in tandem with xylitol? I’ve just started doing mouth rinses with a combo of half and half xylitol and erythritol because I read studies showing erythritol might be even better than xylitol in some ways. And it also has lower glycemic index.
Is it okay to just take xylitol in a mouth rinse and not actually eat it? I’m a bit sensitive to it and would prefer not to actually ingest it all day.
Also: why did you say that children who get fillings in childhood could have digestive issues later on - what’s the correlation there or how would fillings contribute to this? Would it be because they might trap bacteria inside? But if someone healed/ remineralized their tooth wouldn’t it do the same thing - trap bacteria inside?
Obviously because “fillings” are toxic so obviously they might cause health issues/digestive issues
Hello Doctor. I have few concerns and queries. It would be really helpful to me if you could reply. I am living in India and out of your CMCS products, only Crest toothpaste is available here. Could you please suggest me any alternatives for the remaining four products which would be available in India? I have a small cavity with no pain or sensitivity. I believe the cavity is still on my enamel. Can I reverse that using your system? How long will it take? And is it normal to experience minor sensitivity after getting a cavity filled? I got it filled today only. Will it go away? I experienced minor pain while filling that tooth. Is it a serious issue? That cavity was small outside.
I just started your program a couple days ago. Is it normal for my gums that are usually sore to feel extra sore at the beginning of the journey? It's almost like they're extra sensitive.
@@sophier7752 cut down the time you are doing the final two rinses. Cut way back for a week and then try again. But use all the rinses - just shorten the Listerine and ACT.
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you so much!!
Is corn xylitol OK or does it have to be birch?
Dr. Ellie has said that the xylitol that comes from corn cobs and birch trees works exactly the same and there is no difference at all.
@@SunrayStar Thank you. What video was it in?
@@Alien2799 haha - I just KNEW that you were going to ask me that! She has written this several times in other videos' comments answering people's questions. I cannot possibly remember which videos. Sorry!
I confirm. Dr.Ellie responded to me directly that corn xylitol is ok as long as it comes from a reliable source.
@@veronicaw.1876 Great. Thank you for letting me know. What does "reliable source" mean?
I wish I found your video earlier than today, I am here today after I spend thousands of dollars on my baby who turn 5 on September and he already have 8 crowns and two taking out and all of them are baby tooth. 😢😢 anyway I don’t want to think about it now it makes me sad ,upset and guilty. Thank you Dr Ellie! But where is the link of xylitol powder you have shown on your RUclips?.
Isnt that harmful if they suck on it or a kid swallow it ? Please becaz i have read it somewhere . I appreciate your anser
No, it is not harmful at all. There are those now saying nefarious things about it to try to discredit it for business reasons.
Hi Dr. Ellie! Looking for substitute products here in India. For the ACT rinse, I found 2 alternatives:
1. Colgate Phos-flur with 0.044% sodium flouride
2. Chlorexidine mouthwash with 0.05% sodium flouride (but the chlorexidine is 0.2%).
3. A mouthwash with 0.2% sodium flouride.
Which one do you recommend? Is 0.044% sufficient?? Is 0.2% too much?
She always advises against using any chlorhexidine as she says it kills off everything in the mouth (that means all the good bacteria, too).
I melt xylot in water and then use it as mouth wash,
Xylitol is actually more powerful when you put crystals directly in your mouth - not dissolved in water
Rinse first then xylitol then mouth resting for 2 hours
@@dr.elliephillips thank you doc! I
I´m not saying this to be mean, but I read that Xylitol is not the best for your health. Isn´t it similar to Splenda?
Very convoluted explanation
Maybe you need to go back to school
What if toddlers already has cavities?
Have not has 😂
Dr Ellie, I have been using your complete mouth for about 2months now and I love how it makes my teeth feel …..BUT, Dr Ellie
I have been hearing ALOT
about how MOUTHWASH DESTROYS the Nitric Oxide and the microbiom
in my mouth. I have some high blood pressure and
Dr Nathan Bryan says fluoride and popular mouthwashes is very detrimental for all organs of our bodies BECAUSE
the nitric oxide production
is harmed. PLEASE RESPOND because I have many family and friends who have started on your protocol because of my recommendation. Now I feel like I should call and warn them. I am almost 80 years old. HELP!!!!
@@karendavidson1182 I know Nathan Bryant and he - for his own agenda reasons- refuses to talk to me. I sell NO testing strips on my website SPECIFICALLY so YOU can see that all this is nonsense. The only mouth rinse that causes a NO problem is Chlorhexidine - a hospital grade antiseptic. The interpretation that ALL mouth rinse causes these problems began with a flawed study in obese individuals with gum disease - nuances the study people forgot to mention.
Believe me this silly idea has taken the internet by storm - but it is incorrect and is based on a faulty understanding of the mouth ecosystem - which has two populations. One population is easily washed away but regenerated by the stable biofilm population.
My advice is to read the second edition of my book KISS Your Dentist goodbye ( Amazon) and it will show you how what they are saying is inaccurate and wrong. There are YT videos out there where I do a NO test to show my almost perfect nitric oxide levels at 75 years old…….
@ thank you sooo very much. Yah bless you!!
🦷I was wondering if you could recommend a toothpaste and a chewing gum that has BOTH nano Hydroxyapatite and xylitol in it and what you think about Hydroxyapatite? 🙏🪥
@@haleytakamura6772 I do not recommend hydroxyapatite.
@@dr.elliephillipswhy?
@@dr.elliephillipsThank you. I agree, I used a toothpaste with that ingredient and wasn't happy with it. Went back to regular toothpaste.
What's going on with your new book coming out today Jan 28th? I am trying to order it on Amazon at 5:16 am and it says "Temporarily out of stock". There's no way it sold out already! Tried Barnes & Noble and it also says "Out of stock".
Hello Dr. Ellie, please help. I have been using your system for three months. In the first few days some tartar may have developed. I need to know if this tartar will go away or if I should go to the dentist to have it cleaned, but I think if I do that I would lose my progress. Please let me know what should I do, Thanks!
Hi Dr. Ellie, I used your Xylitol not long ago and found out that I’m allergic to Xylitol, what are some other great alternatives to this?
I would really appreciate your reply to this 🙏 Thank you! Been following your tips and just need a replacement for Xylitol
@@t-production34 look up the fruits and veggies that naturally contain xylitol - raspberries; blackberries, strawberries, mushrooms, plums and more……
Thank you!! 🙏
@@t-production34 can I ask what your reactions were? I have had some minor reactions too
Do you still see patients?
What do you think about the Vicco toothpaste, the indian aryurvedic thoothpaste? It cames in 4 formulations and it is almost natural with 18 herbs.
@@vlogrilssanti I’ve no experience with this product. Sorry - I have no idea.

Is massaging gums with a finger as effective as massaging with a toothbrush? Or using a toothbrush is better?
@@truthalone777 I recommend a flossing toothbrush - MOUTHWATCHERS brushes - game changers.
Don’t forget the power of mouth resting after xylitol - another key strategy.
@dr.elliephillips Thank you Dr. Ellie. But I do not get those brushes in India. Hence my question.
@@truthalone777 Then try to find a local toothbrush that is medium-firm with dense bristles (that is how Dr. Plotka's brushes are). You need two of them - one for AM and one for PM so that each one can thoroughly air-dry for 24 hours between uses. Do not ever use any soft toothbrushes; they will not be able to do the job.
I have white spots on my lower molars...will they go away with xylitol..???
Why do I get diarrhea from eating xylitol gums...??
