I just want to say I’m 74 and have had dental problems my entire life. I have a front bridge with 5 teeth that is 30 years old. It looks good when I smile but what you can’t see are the gums above it that receded away from the bridge and exposed the upper part of the original teeth. I have implants in the back, upper and lower. I desperately want to keep this bridge intact for my remaining life. I started this program about 6 months ago and what a life changer. My gums are pink again and the tissue around my bridge and implants is healthier and never bleeds. I use all the correct products and I’m very faithful with it. I’m very hopeful that this will allow me to keep this good old bridge forever.
I am 72 years old and just spent $5000 hoping to save my front bottom 4 teeth bridge. Could you please help to let us know exactly what are the products that you are using. Thanks.
@@ac22750085 If she is following the program as she stated, then it is 1. Closys Mouthwash for 1 min 2. Brush w/Crest Anti-Cavity paste (not the gel one) 3. Listerine Cool Mint or Original Mouthwash for 30-60 sec 4. ACT Anti-Cavity Fluoride Mouthwash for 1 min. 5. Chew xylitol gum or xylitol mints after meals and drinks. Do this morning and night (especially important at night)
@@ac22750085 Do twice daily: 1) Closys ultra sensitive mouth rinse for 1 minute. 2) Crest cavity protection paste brush for 1 minute. 3) Listerine cool mint for up to 30 seconds but only til it starts to sting. 4) Act cavity protection for 30 seconds to 1 minute. No rinsing in between. Xylitol gum or mints (1 gram) after meals, snacks or drinks (coffee, tea etc.) Use the EXACT products, no variations. IT WORKS.
Her oral care routine has improved my teeth and the teeth of everyone in my family. I am so grateful for Dr. Ellie Phillips! I only wish I had come across her years ago.....But better late than never. Thank you for having the courage to speak out and share this knowledge with us!
@@elizabethbirdallgreer2773 You may enjoy my oral health video bootcamp at DrEllie.com There is a lot of additional information about nutrition for oral health, how to modify your habits, do gum massage etc.
I’m 68 yr old, tried Dr Ellie’s program & my dentist is amazed at the results. I could have saved a lifetime of struggling to keep my teeth. Her program is easy and life-changing.
I have been doing this system. For few months; following the plan. My gums have regrown between my teeth. My breathe is fresh . My teeth are strong. And no cavities ..
@@sl4983 Just straight Xylitol. It's more concentrated and works out cheaper. I used about a quarter of a teaspoon, swished it around my mouth for a minute and then spat it out. If I ate something sweet I tried to do it straight afterwards.
Had a horrible horrible dentist experience as a child im 68 and found a wonderful kind but had to move found a couple more that were not impathic so finally had to go after 5yrs because I thought I had broken a front tooth and again found a wonderful kind young dentist after the Xray came in and looked into my mouth gentle kind as I told him I was very nervous almost cried..he laughed kindly and said you didnt break a tooth it was tarter broke off... I used his wonderful cleaning gal very sweet and showed me what to do to keep clean..but as my life goes my husband decided after 30 yrs he didnt want me so I have moved 2 hrs away and afraid to find a dentist so Im doing everything this beautiful woman is advising and cant wait to try this ..thank you so much Im so happy I found Dr. Phillip a month ago❤❤
I have plenty of patients who use xylitol daily and still have plenty of dental issues to include; decay, bone loss/perio disease, etc 🙄 True, xylitol is helpful. Does it mean you never need a dentist or preventative cleanings, etc? Haha, best of luck - truly
@@Destinyprojects4 I never say xylitol is the total answer. Anyone who follows me or visits my website knows I take the full picture of oral health education VERY seriously. Xylitol will help stop plaque forming - and that is the first step in prevention. If you already have caries or periodontal disease - then my system addresses these problems - and helps to reverse them. I would love you to offer one or two of your motivated patients the opportunity to reverse their problems between dental visits. If they do - you will be amazed, and if they don't - then you get to feel they need you.
i tried your system for 2 months. and it actually works. my orhtodontist even complimented my teeth health and said that i took good care of them eventhough i didnt even floss. it is just insane
Agree. Most of them are money-mad scum, more interested in the lining of their suit jackets than their patients' well-being A denture technician friend of mine wholly concurs with me. Can't stand to deal with them, but has to.
So unacceptable The evidence was known over 50++ years ago The University of Turku was deep into studies with pregnant women and children in the 1970s. Here is a link: www.utu.fi/en/news/news/researchers-of-the-university-of-turku-proved-the-health-benefits-of-xylitol-40-years-ago
My dentist in mexico recommended that I use a xylitol mouthwash, it has helped me, from my birth until I was 35 years old I had never attended a dentist until a few days ago and she recommended that type of mouthwash because I had no problems, just tartar
It’s not as much the dentists fault, as most take what is being taught to them as a fact. The medical education system is highly flawed! Unfortunately and unbelievably by design. The system is designed for profit, not health - this is why they don’t teach the things that truly heal! Teeth literally regrow and strengthen, just like a bone - if given the right environment. But where is the money in that? Dentists are overwhelmed and just accept things as fact because most don’t have the time to truly do research. One has to question the system that doesn’t promote anything unless it helps the bottom line.
Dr. Ellie is wonderful. She just described my early experiences in Britain at the dentist. Even now, at the age of 76yrs, I still shake with fear even going for a cleaning.
Dear Dr. Ellie, I am currently reading your book and your experience and knowledge is otherworldly. I am beyond grateful having discovered you. This knowledge should be spread worldwide as much as possible. If I could, I would force everybody to read your book! Thank you for everything you do and for your commitment to keep teaching. You've been truly ahead of your time, and that's one of the hardest paths I assume since there will be so much backlash along the way. I admire you for your passion and strength. Thank you again for everything you do.
You’re genuine,kind, caring and intelligent , I learned a lot from your deep insights discussions about the importance of healthy living,my prayers and best wishes for you 🌹

When I was fourteen I remember the dentists looking at my mouth saying to each other “those are some hard teeth. I see a spot here.” “Just a scraping then?” “No. A cavity is a cavity.” I screamed and was held down and they drilled not only my bottom tooth, but to even things out they drilled above and the other side too. I left with four filling and mouth of Novocain! I told my parents, but they were complacent. At sixty I now have to remove those fillings to protect me from dementia.
If your teeth with the fillings don't hurt or bother you. Don't remove the fillings. You may have worse problems. Like needing a root canal in all of them. If your not in pain, don't bother those teeth.
@@JustMe-dn9fh Wow, I didn't know fillings would cause dementia. But like you, dentist filled my teeth with that silver lead stuff not informing me that it will Crack, break, cause cavities to form. I had beautiful set of teeth, in fact, later an honest dentist told me i had good healthy teeth from my genes, that some people teeth appear nice on the outside but have all kind of issues. They never told me how to prevent cavities from eating broccoli, to taking B1 and B2, supplements, or chew on bark of a tree stick. All they said was that the acid from the saliva and food forms the enzymes that causes the teeth to go bad. But never did they say to use and gargle wirh the miracle Castro oil that kills genitive and periodontal diseases. They play off our ignorance at the cost of us losing our teeth while they get paid and forces us to go to false teeth. I am hoping what this video says works its wonders on my teeth. So far I have my front top and front bottom teeth and lost about 5 or 6 of overall from the left and right sides. I am thankful that I have my some of my natural teeth. I heard of stem cell treatment that can grow our teeth back, so what are they waiting on to offer it world wide.
My dentist says I need three caps and a filling and my daughter needs 6 fillings and a root canal (age 15). When I questioned him, he didn’t return my or my husbands 5 calls. He finally gave me a 15 minute courtesy visit where he talked over me, virtually berated me and explained in detail how if we don’t fill all 7 cavities and get three caps that we will somehow end up with 10 root canals and require 10 fake teeth. I get about one cavity every 5 years and my daughter has had one in her life. Now we are going to be on Dr Phillips dental plan!
Get away from that dentist and never return. I had a new dentist treat me the same way. Luckily, my old dentist of 30 years stopped me from having any work done by that crook. If it doesn't feel right, don't let them do anything and get out of there w/ your teeth intact.
Thank you for your advice. I have been going to a perio for about 19 years. Only had wisdom teeth taken out and 69 in 2 months. Also had conflicting advice from dentists. Was😅 17:29 told by a dentist 21 years ago if I hadn't gone to the perio (he recommended someone) that I would of lost all my teeth. I do floss though a little less after your recommendation. Yes dental is very expensive in Australia and not fully covered by insurance and in most cases not worth it. Yes I do believe it is all about bacteria. Luckily I have had good experiences with dentists and perios. I am very proud of my teeth.
Thank you doctor ellie. You are such a blessing and gift for this world!! I wish more dentists were like you and wanted to allow teeth to heal naturally.
14:05 parent can get xylitol crystals (granulated) dissolve them in warm water, 1/5 tsp dissolved with warm water, apply that to the children's teeth whenever you can, with a clean finger, toothbrush etc. There's a pacifier where you can put xylitol in the pacifier. Apply the xylitol five times a day if possible
Thank you Dr. Ellie! You are my hero! My 3 year old calls your mints “tasty treats” and looks forward to having them every day! I have turned my whole family onto your system. I love learning from you! ❤
When I was 5 or 6 years old, I experienced everything she describes about childhood trauma at the dentist. This was in the early 70s. I still have anxiety if I even think about the dentist. 😢
Yes, drillings with no anaesthesia. Tears rolling down my face and being told to be quiet. Tooth flying across the room during an extraction. Fainting. Terrible butchers!
I LOVE the toothbrush she recommends. Life changer. And I’ve started her system hoping to stop pain in one of my gums above a tooth and repair 2 cavities. I cannot swish listerine for 60 seconds. Barely 15 seconds. My tongue stings very badly and feels like it’s swelling up.
Thank you for your support. If you need more...they are in more of a chronological order at drEllie.com in my oral health video bootcamp. Thanks again - and I hope this self empowerment gives rise and supports your oral health..... for the rest of your life :) Cheers! Ellie
@@dr.elliephillips hello mam.. I am from India. I am a mother of two babies. My first baby 9 years old and started cavities in her baby teeth and first molars also erupted at the back. I am in peak stages of stress in my life.Please suggest me what can I do for her. Because your system is not available here. I have no idea to how to get on to your system. I am begging you to help me in this situation. Please reply me mam. Thanks in advance..
Yes I always stressed about going to the dentist . I had really bad experiences with dentist. I will try your advice soon . Thank you for your advice. You are amazing .
I can’t even call to make an appointment! My parents (from the old country) took me to a VETERINARIAN!! He was sadistic..OMG! A Veterinarian! Once I got to America., I went to a dentist for a check up with real pain.. this dentist sprayed cold water and air in my mouth.. I went crazy and started crying he said I needed a Psychiatrist.. not a dentist.. he wouldn’t stop when I pleaded.. explain that?!turns out my tooth was cracked all the way exposing the nerve. I have had therapy for overcoming cruel dentist memories.. and am okay. . .this is the greatest news! I am loving the facts and experience !! in only a few days so much positive change and this will probably add some number of years to my life!❤️❤️Thank you Dr. Ellie from my heart and family!
My mom is a dentist with a home office, and I grew up in said home. My experiences having my teeth worked on by my mother was not all together terrible, but I am now 27 and have not been to the dentist (only ever my mom) in about a decade. I grew more and more sensitive to vibrations in my mouth to the point where it would be extremely touch and go to get a cavity filled, and I'd be completely exhausted with constant tears running down my face. I have a few carries, I haven't had much of a healthy lifestyle in the past few years, so my new motivation is oral health. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for sharing all the information you have shared! Since following your steps for a little over a month now, my teeth have gotten whiter, my mouth feels healthier, & decay on one of my teeth has been remineralizing that I've seen it for myself in my month comparison x-rays at the dentist! The information you share is so important for all of us to know! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
ive seen many other videos from experts saying listerine is bad for your teeth because of the acidity..... youtube is full of people saying one thing and another saying the opposite
As a child, I never feared going to the dentist (and I had lots of dental work as a child). When I became an adult and had to pay for dentistry myself, I’m extremely nervous and petrified. Because of the OUTRAGEOUS COST! It’s gotten out of hand. Just a cleaning and exam is enough to make you go broke. When I sit in the chair I can’t stop thinking about how I’m going to pay for it.
Money is at the vibrational frequency that we can manifest and can flow in once we stop resisting it and releasing our blocks in our belief systems that actually prevent us from receiving it. Abraham Hicks or Jake Ducey good places to start for basic manifesting❤ money comes from all sorts of sources and all over the place, there is always enough and always more and there is no lack and limitation that's the mindset we were all programmed with from childhood. If it's not coming in then we have a subconscious block in our energy and in a subconscious program that we must uncover❤
I started the protocol about 5 weeks ago and my teeth have gotten whiter, smoother, and the morning breath has gone. Thank you very much, Dr. Ellie. Like other persons i am weary of fluoride, however, with results like these I am willing to take whatever risks that comes with the fluoride.
My husband and I started your teeth regimen today! My teeth already feel smooth. Interesting too is that my gums bled with the new toothbrushes you recommend. That said, they weren’t bleeding with the electric unless I flossed. I can feel the tooth brush going between my teeth so suspect this is why. I’m excited to see the change!
@@rachaelsand7583 if you haven't seen, Dr. Ellie has a free download in the about section of the video. It outlines the products and what order to use them in. She also has a playlist of videos that covers the same info but in more depth.
You are a great human being, Dr Phillips! You are the only dentist talking about this, and helping us with one of the greatest stresses of life- the amount of money it takes to go to the dentist. If I don’t have the money to pay dentist my only choice is to go toothless because the fixing of teeth is too expensive. On the other hand, for adults, the pain of the dental treatment is more understandable and tolerated, but for children… it has to be a terrible nightmare. I am not able to see a child being administered a vaccine because my heart just can’t stand it, let alone a child crying of fear and pain because of a dental appointment! So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do !!!
I had a healthy molar removed by an NHS dentist 20 years ago. Ever since for some reason the ‘gap’ is painful and my jaw clenches at night and I’ve developed tinnitus 😢.
Thank you Dr. Ellie! Please make a video about the concerns of the crunchy granola set (my ilk) that refuse to purchase these products because they don't come from the health food store. I DID overcome my reluctance and couldn't be happier about it! But my friends all baulk at the idea of Crest and Listerine....
I'm from Brazil We brush our teeth after breakfast, lunch or dinner at school or at work.We Carry our Toothbrush 🪥 in our bag. I have been in USA for 10 years and my co worker doesn't understand why I brush my teeth at work in the bathroom.
Xylitol twice a day and now doing carnivore: I feel like I have two silver bullets in my Arsenal. And now to add in some longer fasts here and there and I think I'll have the trifecta towards health success ;)
When my kids were little, I always brushed their teeth after eating and before bed. If we went somewhere and I couldn't brush their teeth, I had them chew sugarless gum. The dentist told me I needed to brush their teeth myself until they were eight years old, so I did. I showed them how to floss, but only my oldest took to it at first. He is 30 and has never had a cavity. So, there you go. Take care of your teeth, don't miss a beat, and you'll be fine. And now I always use xylitol.
I remember a 6th grade classmate had to have all his teeth pulled out. He was out of school for almost a month and then had to have dentures. Imagine? A 6th grader with dentures? So sad. I think America is so backward when it comes to dentistry. It should be covered by all insurance too, the mouth is part of the body, why is that (and eyes) always treated as something unrelated?? Oral health affects the whole body, it should be cared for like the whole body. I love your mouth care system, it's making my teeth feel great, no more bleeding gums, my teeth always feel clean and they look good, a nice white natural color. I'm so glad I found your videos, they're all wonderful. Thank you 🙏💕
That is sad 😔 I went to elementary school with a girl that this happened too and it's sad because maybe this information could have helped such a devastating event in a child's life.🙏🏽
@drelliephillips can you do a video on products/system children should use?? Toothbrush, toothpaste etc? Ages 1 to 4 and 5+ if diff products/active ingredients are needed.. Thank you so much!!
I have a question. Why do some people never ,ever get cavities? One of our nephews (age 25) is blessed this way. I sure wish I'd known about xylitol when I was a kid. I'm 76.
I am 60 and still have a baby tooth upper left side mid mouth. Apparently it has a long root. Dentist all tell me about it but none seem particularly impressed or give me any kind of heads-up for anything to look out for. No sensitivity or pain. Just got my first batch of Ellie's X gum as trial to see how they work for me. Have been doing the recommended toothpaste for a few months now and my teeth feels better. I even cut out mouth wash and will add the recommended after I see how the xy-gums work.
Thank you so much as always very informative video. I am in my 40 plus my teeth’s are grinding how can I taking care of it and how can I stop them would be really help for your information 🙏🏻
Dr Ellie please could you help me? You have been a god sent ! After 2 months my tartar disappeared! The sensitivity is gone also ! But after 5 months of following to a tee, your system my teeth look brown, stained certainly by the use of Listerine... Is there a product you would recommend in this case? I do value your opinion.
I have heard Dr Ellie tell people to try making a paste by mixing some Crest toothpaste with xylitol sugar granules - and then brushing your teeth with that.... to help remove stains. Might be worth trying!
Wish I knew this decades ago - I went through the horrors of a 1960's school dentist and unfortunately ignorant parents - I thank you for this information - I just discovered Peppersmith in the UK which supplies xylitol gum and mints bu t didn'y realise how important it was before watching these videos -
After doing Dr Ellie's routine meticulously for 6 months I had complete confidence going to my cleaning appointment in March. Imagine my chagrin when she told me I had horrible staining on every tooth and proceeded to scrape and prod and dig for an hour to get the stains off. I had not changed what I ate or drank in years, but the one thing I had done differently was the ACT mouthwash twice a day (label says to only use it once per day). As for plaque she said it "wasn't too bad."
Are you using the MOUTHWATCHERS toothbrushes? I suggest using this brand and allowing the brushes to dry 24 hours between uses. The first 6 months is a time of risk for superficial stains. They brush away if you are using these more resilient brushes.
Thanks Doctor for ur valuable advise about xylitol. I was unknown to it. As i have already seen written on gum but not known to its benefit . After watching ur video got to know. Now started using gum mint with xylitol and felt the difference .
Been using the total mouthcare system for a few days and can’t believe how smooth my teeth feel. I’m using xylitol crystals as I had to buy from the baking section in the supermarket (I’m in the uk) and would like to know how long to swish it in the mouth please? I try to do so for as long as possible but usually end up swallowing after a minute or two. Also, does it have to be 5 times a day? I’m new to the system so sometimes forget…will I still see the benefit for three times a day? I guess it’s better than none!
I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly. We only spit but do not rinse with water after each step of the mouth care system.? Thank you in advance. I'm so excited to get started😊
Dr.Phillips, thank you so much for all you do. I have been using your system for 3 months and love it. May I ask why you don't recommend the X Pur Opti Rinse 0.05% neutral sodium fluoride mouthwash that contains xylitol instead of sorbitol that Act contains? Thank you!
I only recommend products that I am completely confident work together and achieve the absolute best possible outcomes for oral and general health. I never recommend glycerin in products - as glycerin appears to reduce mineralization and act as a plaque-magnet. Feel free to do your own comparison but you will only know the outcome in the long-term - not just in a day or two. The outcome I expect for people using my system is that they will no longer need dental cleanings or treatments. I suggest you take yourself to this place with the products I know work - before you start making adjustments and experimentations.
@dr.elliephillips Do you have tips for me on what to use/buy because I live in The Netherlands it would be too expensive for me to order it via your website 🙏. Would love to start with your method 😁
Hi Dr. Ellie, thanks for the wonderful work. I have just started using your system and i can already see the difference. Just one question on xylitol, can i use it in granules form directly and swish it around the teeth for a minute. What's the best way you recommend? And is it good idea to take xylitol before bed after using the system? thanks
hi, i am replying because i had the same questions when i first implemented the system. i have watched many videos by dr. ellie since then so i think i got the answers for ya :) yes, you can use granules. she prefers mints but approves of granules as well. i use a teaspoon if i can't get to my favorite xylitol gums and i make sure i use the granules specifically after coffee/tea/sweets because it is insane how it instantly whitens your teeth after consumption, i am really fascinated. ex-smoker here too so it took a few weeks to whiten them but now i have gotten to a new baseline i guess so it happens instantly now after rinsing. truly remarkable. swoosh it around for a minimum of 2 minutes (but no need to overdo it) or until the sugar dissolves. yes, you can do it after the whole routine and before going to bed (just no drinking water afterwards). sorry for the long reply, hope this helps. cheers!
You didn't ask me but, I would use dissolved crystals. Yes I would be fine using it after bed. In fact some melatonin melts are sweetened with xylitol.
Great grandmother, I got my tooth filled with plastic almost 2 years ago. Now, it is decaying from the edge but has no pain at all. After meal , I'm cleaning my mouth and then eating some fruits or salad especially coconut (oil) . Doctor said it is better to be caped for no decaying in coming time. What should I do now?
Why do you think you have bone loss? That is the first step in figuring out if it can regrow. In situations where there has been bone loss because of gum (periodontal) disease - yes, once the gums grow back, the bone will follow. That's how my Mom kept her teeth for 50 years and how others have saved once upon a time loose teeth.
Thanks so much for your prompt response, I have a cleaning and examination this morning, some gum inflammation caused by a flu caught over week ago. I had had gum recession, loose teeth, the inflammation made it looked even worse. I asked my dentist medicine has been so advanced, why the dental industry remains inventing new surgical tools, instead of researching fundamental causes and cares. He suggested some vitamin d and calcium intakes, nothing else can be offered. I hope there is some natural way to restore health of my teeth, by the way I am >65 of age. I am very much appreciated any help you may suggest ❤
@@sarachan254 I have a strategy I would recommend. I have books that explain it - Mouth Care Comes Clean would be where you could start. Then I have all the products described on my website and an oral health video bootcamp that you may find useful. DrEllie.com
my worst teeth are the first permanent teeth I got in the back of my mouth. I did not use fluorine. And I had a lot of cavities when I was about 8 to 9 years. I was aregular at the dentist. After I began using flurine toothpaste the number of cavities dropped immediately. And after that I have only gotten them occasionally. But your program about xylitol is interesting. And also interesting that my teeth can be stronger even now, decades after the teeth came. I have always gotten some placke. But after I started to eat low carb, I have less of it. But now I chew xylitol gum several times a day, and hopefully that will prevent further issues with my teeth.
I find the mouth-biome theory very interesting. I used to have a dentist with bad teeth. Whenever I had been for my half-year check-up and cleaning (back then, the dentist did that himself), I had a period of gingivitis. With my new dentist, I never had that problem. Could it be he inadvertely infected his own patients? And what about dogs and cats? Do they also influence our mouth heal;th with their 'kisses' and licking habits?
Dr Ellie Phillips , thank you for sharing all these videos , your mouth care system really does work ! I’m just trying some different xylitol mints on Amazon made in Finland funny enough so should be pretty good !
My 10 year old son has YELLOW/BROWNISH spots on his teeth. The dentist says he migh have had an antibiotic that caused it, but no diagnosis, it looks like fluorosis. How do I help get his teeth normal? Thank you
I just started your 5 step plan today! Question -- if I do this plan at night before bed, but then get thirsty and drink water -- do I need to start the plan over or should I take a xyletol and call it a day?
I had the healthiest teeth my whole life except for one cavity in highschool. After my first pregnancy i noticed my tooth and gum health had suffered horribly. My teeth became weak with chipping and bleeding gums. I hated flossing, brushing made me gag. After my last pregnancy i have started trying to take care of my mouth health. Hopefully not too late after 2 decades of pregnancies. 2 of my children just had horrible teeth preschool. I wish i knew this earlier. Sad that in an advanced country such as Canada there isn't better education about this 😠. Thank you for your educational content ❤
@@sparklingbeautybee I've been crazy about flossing and brushing for about 3 years now. The bleeding gums have stopped however I've been trying all types of things. For a very long time I was using hydrogen peroxide to rinse so I'm learning that's not a good idea. Just started the xylitol so need more time there. I've switched over too extremely soft bristle toothbrushes. I spend a long time massaging my gums with the soft bristle toothbrush for about a year now. My gums feel better and look better (pink vs red). But I have yet to see a dentist to ask about my pocket improvement.
@@dah8789thanks for the details ! It is so hard actually to improve ! It is also my pregnancy no 2 after which everything went worse ! Lots of patience needed
Doing the program for 2 months now. But my teeth are stained from coffee and that isn't going away. I drink one cup of coffee in the morning, rinse my mouth out and suck on a xylitol mint. Still have stained teeth. Per Dr. Ellie my teeth are supposed to whiten and stay clean and brighten like hers. What's wrong?
Are you using the exact products I recommend. Be careful to use exact Closys UltraSensitive - NEVER gum health formulation. Also are you brushing with the MOUTHWATCHERS brushes? DrEllie.com
@@dr.elliephillips Yes, I'm using the EXACT products that you recommend Dr. Ellie... I purchased the kits from your website for my wife and I. And, I ordered the brushes off of your website (Dr. Plotka's Mouthwatchers). I know I have to follow your mouth care system exactly if I want results. Our teeth and mouths feel great, teeth feel stronger, and our anxiety about "you need to have deep cleanings every 4 months due to your age and gum recession" is gone. Yet, we still have brown stains on the side edges, in between, our teeth from coffee. What's is wrong? Why aren't they whitening and cleaning up for us?
@@dr.elliephillips Yes. Using exact products (ordered your kit). Using the Dr. Plotka Mouthwatchers (have two for morning/nite so they dry out for 24 hours). Our mouths feel really good and teeth seem stronger. Rinse mouth out with water after coffee and also suck on a xylitol mint. Yet we both have dark coffee stains along the edges in between our teeth. What's wrong?
@@alfredbell736 This is superficial stain - often remains of “ dead plaque”. It should clean away if you target it with your brushing & sufficient toothpaste on the brush. If that doesn’t work I’d suggest you mix a 1/2 teaspoon of granular xylitol into the toothpaste you are using at the brushing part of the system. Tge xylitol makes the toothpaste a bit more exfoliating.
If you are not able to remove it - then I guess you can let your hygienist remove it at your next cleaning. It is superficial debris - should be easy to remove - and should not return. You can think about it as the dead plaque that was attached to your teeth when you began this system. If you want to try one more thing: mix some xylitol crystals with the Crest toothpaste to make it more exfoliating.
I found your videos this past weekend and have been binging them. I have a couple of questions I hope you or someone can answer. How long after brushing with your system can I start drinking water? Also, I have some cavities causing intermittent mild pain. When that happens I swish warm water with salt for a few minutes. Can I continue to do this until the effects of your system kick in? I don’t want to negate the healing from using your system. Appreciate any answers.
I just want to say I’m 74 and have had dental problems my entire life. I have a front bridge with 5 teeth that is 30 years old. It looks good when I smile but what you can’t see are the gums above it that receded away from the bridge and exposed the upper part of the original teeth. I have implants in the back, upper and lower. I desperately want to keep this bridge intact for my remaining life. I started this program about 6 months ago and what a life changer. My gums are pink again and the tissue around my bridge and implants is healthier and never bleeds. I use all the correct products and I’m very faithful with it. I’m very hopeful that this will allow me to keep this good old bridge forever.
What specific products do you use, please elaborate a bit.
@@sauravbasu8805she is obviously using the products that the doctor recommends.
I am 72 years old and just spent $5000 hoping to save my front bottom 4 teeth bridge. Could you please help to let us know exactly what are the products that you are using. Thanks.
@@ac22750085 If she is following the program as she stated, then it is 1. Closys Mouthwash for 1 min 2. Brush w/Crest Anti-Cavity paste (not the gel one) 3. Listerine Cool Mint or Original Mouthwash for 30-60 sec 4. ACT Anti-Cavity Fluoride Mouthwash for 1 min. 5. Chew xylitol gum or xylitol mints after meals and drinks. Do this morning and night (especially important at night)
@@ac22750085
Do twice daily:
1) Closys ultra sensitive mouth rinse for 1 minute.
2) Crest cavity protection paste brush for 1 minute.
3) Listerine cool mint for up to 30 seconds but only til it starts to sting.
4) Act cavity protection for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
No rinsing in between.
Xylitol gum or mints (1 gram) after meals, snacks or drinks (coffee, tea etc.)
Use the EXACT products, no variations.
IT WORKS.
I absolutely adore this woman.
@BrethrenThyme you are not alone 🙂
Me too. About time a dentist is speaking the truth!
Same
She makes me want to be a dentist
Me too, she's so caring for others. Love her. I really like her tooth care system too, my teeth feel so clean all the time now.
Her oral care routine has improved my teeth and the teeth of everyone in my family. I am so grateful for Dr. Ellie Phillips! I only wish I had come across her years ago.....But better late than never. Thank you for having the courage to speak out and share this knowledge with us!
Me too!
Did she ever mention that the benefits of xylitol can help adults ( women/men) and not just pregnant women and children?
@@elizabethbirdallgreer2773 yes, absolutely.

There is a lot of additional information about nutrition for oral health, how to modify your habits, do gum massage etc.
I’m 68 yr old, tried Dr Ellie’s program & my dentist is amazed at the results. I could have saved a lifetime of struggling to keep my teeth. Her program is easy and life-changing.
I have been doing this system. For few months; following the plan. My gums have regrown between my teeth. My breathe is fresh . My teeth are strong. And no cavities ..
Same.
hi.plz tell me what you didfor receding gums?
My teeth were hurting so much I was struggling to chew food. After only a couple of weeks of Xylitol twice a day I had no more pain.
I also use a probiotic chew, it helps me
Did you use mints or gum
@@sl4983 Just straight Xylitol. It's more concentrated and works out cheaper. I used about a quarter of a teaspoon, swished it around my mouth for a minute and then spat it out. If I ate something sweet I tried to do it straight afterwards.
@@nataliebutler
Hi, would you please send me the link for Xylatol you used?
@@maryamn2441 I bought Pure Via via Amazon UK. Any should do though.
Had a horrible horrible dentist experience as a child im 68 and found a wonderful kind but had to move found a couple more that were not impathic so finally had to go after 5yrs because I thought I had broken a front tooth and again found a wonderful kind young dentist after the Xray came in and looked into my mouth gentle kind as I told him I was very nervous almost cried..he laughed kindly and said you didnt break a tooth it was tarter broke off... I used his wonderful cleaning gal very sweet and showed me what to do to keep clean..but as my life goes my husband decided after 30 yrs he didnt want me so I have moved 2 hrs away and afraid to find a dentist so Im doing everything this beautiful woman is advising and cant wait to try this ..thank you so much Im so happy I found Dr. Phillip a month ago❤❤
We know all the medical people do is seek to make a profit. They do not educate the public on prevention. This woman is amazing.
Some, don't KNOW about xylitol..tt tastes just like sugar, as well
I have plenty of patients who use xylitol daily and still have plenty of dental issues to include; decay, bone loss/perio disease, etc 🙄
True, xylitol is helpful. Does it mean you never need a dentist or preventative cleanings, etc? Haha, best of luck - truly
@@Destinyprojects4 I never say xylitol is the total answer.
Anyone who follows me or visits my website knows I take the full picture of oral health education VERY seriously.
Xylitol will help stop plaque forming - and that is the first step in prevention.
If you already have caries or periodontal disease - then my system addresses these problems - and helps to reverse them.
I would love you to offer one or two of your motivated patients the opportunity to reverse their problems between dental visits.
If they do - you will be amazed, and if they don't - then you get to feel they need you.
i tried your system for 2 months. and it actually works. my orhtodontist even complimented my teeth health and said that i took good care of them eventhough i didnt even floss. it is just insane
A lot of dentists should be in jail for unethical procedures. Not one dentist has ever mentioned xylitol to me or anyone else I know
Agree. Most of them are money-mad scum, more interested in the lining of their suit jackets than their patients' well-being A denture technician friend of mine wholly concurs with me. Can't stand to deal with them, but has to.
They are focused on making profits. Dr Ellie saved my life!
So unacceptable
The evidence was known over 50++ years ago
The University of Turku was deep into studies with pregnant women and children in the 1970s.
Here is a link:
www.utu.fi/en/news/news/researchers-of-the-university-of-turku-proved-the-health-benefits-of-xylitol-40-years-ago
My dentist in mexico recommended that I use a xylitol mouthwash, it has helped me, from my birth until I was 35 years old I had never attended a dentist until a few days ago and she recommended that type of mouthwash because I had no problems, just tartar
It’s not as much the dentists fault, as most take what is being taught to them as a fact. The medical education system is highly flawed! Unfortunately and unbelievably by design. The system is designed for profit, not health - this is why they don’t teach the things that truly heal!
Teeth literally regrow and strengthen, just like a bone - if given the right environment. But where is the money in that?
Dentists are overwhelmed and just accept things as fact because most don’t have the time to truly do research.
One has to question the system that doesn’t promote anything unless it helps the bottom line.
Dr. Ellie is wonderful. She just described my early experiences in Britain at the dentist. Even now, at the age of 76yrs, I still shake with fear even going for a cleaning.
Me too 😢
Xylitol gum has stopped my teeth pain within a few days. Than you ellie.
Dear Dr. Ellie, I am currently reading your book and your experience and knowledge is otherworldly. I am beyond grateful having discovered you. This knowledge should be spread worldwide as much as possible. If I could, I would force everybody to read your book! Thank you for everything you do and for your commitment to keep teaching. You've been truly ahead of your time, and that's one of the hardest paths I assume since there will be so much backlash along the way. I admire you for your passion and strength. Thank you again for everything you do.
You’re genuine,kind, caring and intelligent , I learned a lot from your deep insights discussions about the importance of healthy living,my prayers and best wishes for you 🌹

I’ve had some unfortunate dental experiences, but the dentist I have now, I love her and her whole team so much!
When I was fourteen I remember the dentists looking at my mouth saying to each other “those are some hard teeth. I see a spot here.” “Just a scraping then?” “No. A cavity is a cavity.” I screamed and was held down and they drilled not only my bottom tooth, but to even things out they drilled above and the other side too. I left with four filling and mouth of Novocain! I told my parents, but they were complacent. At sixty I now have to remove those fillings to protect me from dementia.
If your teeth with the fillings don't hurt or bother you. Don't remove the fillings. You may have worse problems. Like needing a root canal in all of them. If your not in pain, don't bother those teeth.
What do the fillings have to do with dementia!???
Go to a holistic biological dentist who can safely remove the fillings.
@@JustMe-dn9fh
I insisted a Dentist remove a filling and replace it. She found some caries in the back which didn't show on the Xray.
@@JustMe-dn9fh Wow, I didn't know fillings would cause dementia. But like you, dentist filled my teeth with that silver lead stuff not informing me that it will Crack, break, cause cavities to form. I had beautiful set of teeth, in fact, later an honest dentist told me i had good healthy teeth from my genes, that some people teeth appear nice on the outside but have all kind of issues. They never told me how to prevent cavities from eating broccoli, to taking B1 and B2, supplements, or chew on bark of a tree stick. All they said was that the acid from the saliva and food forms the enzymes that causes the teeth to go bad. But never did they say to use and gargle wirh the miracle Castro oil that kills genitive and periodontal diseases. They play off our ignorance at the cost of us losing our teeth while they get paid and forces us to go to false teeth. I am hoping what this video says works its wonders on my teeth. So far I have my front top and front bottom teeth and lost about 5 or 6 of overall from the left and right sides. I am thankful that I have my some of my natural teeth. I heard of stem cell treatment that can grow our teeth back, so what are they waiting on to offer it world wide.
My dentist says I need three caps and a filling and my daughter needs 6 fillings and a root canal (age 15). When I questioned him, he didn’t return my or my husbands 5 calls. He finally gave me a 15 minute courtesy visit where he talked over me, virtually berated me and explained in detail how if we don’t fill all 7 cavities and get three caps that we will somehow end up with 10 root canals and require 10 fake teeth. I get about one cavity every 5 years and my daughter has had one in her life. Now we are going to be on Dr Phillips dental plan!
Sounds like malpractice
Please get another dentist immediately.
Get away from that dentist and never return. I had a new dentist treat me the same way. Luckily, my old dentist of 30 years stopped me from having any work done by that crook. If it doesn't feel right, don't let them do anything and get out of there w/ your teeth intact.
Thank you@@8tomtoms8
Thank you for your advice. I have been going to a perio for about 19 years. Only had wisdom teeth taken out and 69 in 2 months. Also had conflicting advice from dentists. Was😅 17:29 told by a dentist 21 years ago if I hadn't gone to the perio (he recommended someone) that I would of lost all my teeth. I do floss though a little less after your recommendation. Yes dental is very expensive in Australia and not fully covered by insurance and in most cases not worth it. Yes I do believe it is all about bacteria. Luckily I have had good experiences with dentists and perios. I am very proud of my teeth.
Thank you doctor ellie. You are such a blessing and gift for this world!! I wish more dentists were like you and wanted to allow teeth to heal naturally.
14:05 parent can get xylitol crystals (granulated) dissolve them in warm water, 1/5 tsp dissolved with warm water, apply that to the children's teeth whenever you can, with a clean finger, toothbrush etc. There's a pacifier where you can put xylitol in the pacifier. Apply the xylitol five times a day if possible
Dr. Phillips, all your videos are a godsend. Thank you so much for educating and saving us from unnecessary pain and suffering.
Thank you Dr. Ellie! You are my hero! My 3 year old calls your mints “tasty treats” and looks forward to having them every day! I have turned my whole family onto your system. I love learning from you! ❤
I am terrified of the bill they give at the end.
That’s what I always say. 😂
The dental receptionist always asks some question for feedback regarding pain during the visit. My response is, well I haven't seen the bill yet!! 🥺
When I was 5 or 6 years old, I experienced everything she describes about childhood trauma at the dentist. This was in the early 70s. I still have anxiety if I even think about the dentist. 😢
Yes, drillings with no anaesthesia. Tears rolling down my face and being told to be quiet. Tooth flying across the room during an extraction. Fainting. Terrible butchers!
I LOVE the toothbrush she recommends. Life changer. And I’ve started her system hoping to stop pain in one of my gums above a tooth and repair 2 cavities. I cannot swish listerine for 60 seconds. Barely 15 seconds. My tongue stings very badly and feels like it’s swelling up.
Her system works. I have been on board since last August.
What is her system?
@@Hanover-ek4jyYes, what is it?
I have been using your mouth care system only a little while and I am already noticing the difference. Thank you so much.
My son loves watching your videos! He went from not brushing at all to using your system daily! I can already see results! TY so much!
I can't stop watching your videos! Very insightful, thank you
Thank you for your support.

I am begging you to help me in this situation. Please reply me mam. Thanks in advance..
Yes I always stressed about going to the dentist . I had really bad experiences with dentist. I will try your advice soon . Thank you for your advice. You are amazing .
I can’t even call to make an appointment! My parents (from the old country) took me to a VETERINARIAN!! He was sadistic..OMG! A Veterinarian!
Once I got to America., I went to a dentist for a check up with real pain.. this dentist sprayed cold water and air in my mouth.. I went crazy and started crying he said I needed a Psychiatrist.. not a dentist.. he wouldn’t stop when I pleaded.. explain that?!turns out my tooth was cracked all the way exposing the nerve.
I have had therapy for overcoming cruel dentist memories.. and am okay. . .this is the greatest news! I am loving the facts and experience !! in only a few days so much positive change and this will probably add some number of years to my life!❤️❤️Thank you Dr. Ellie from my heart and family!
dental/mouth pain is the absolute 10 out of 10!!!
My mom is a dentist with a home office, and I grew up in said home. My experiences having my teeth worked on by my mother was not all together terrible, but I am now 27 and have not been to the dentist (only ever my mom) in about a decade. I grew more and more sensitive to vibrations in my mouth to the point where it would be extremely touch and go to get a cavity filled, and I'd be completely exhausted with constant tears running down my face. I have a few carries, I haven't had much of a healthy lifestyle in the past few years, so my new motivation is oral health. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for sharing all the information you have shared! Since following your steps for a little over a month now, my teeth have gotten whiter, my mouth feels healthier, & decay on one of my teeth has been remineralizing that I've seen it for myself in my month comparison x-rays at the dentist! The information you share is so important for all of us to know! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
The routine containing Crest, Listerine Cool Mint, and Xylitol has been a game changer for me. Thanks a bunch for saving my teeth, Doc.
You did not use Act and Closys?
@@Alien2799 These two are not available in my region. And I got results without them so didn't bother.
@@Alien2799They are a crucial part of the system
@@Alien2799 These two products are not available in my region, so I couldn't use them. However, I still got results.
ive seen many other videos from experts saying listerine is bad for your teeth because of the acidity..... youtube is full of people saying one thing and another saying the opposite
As a child, I never feared going to the dentist (and I had lots of dental work as a child). When I became an adult and had to pay for dentistry myself, I’m extremely nervous and petrified. Because of the OUTRAGEOUS COST! It’s gotten out of hand. Just a cleaning and exam is enough to make you go broke. When I sit in the chair I can’t stop thinking about how I’m going to pay for it.
Have you had cosmetic procedures? The cost will impress you even more.
In 2010 exam, x-ray, and cleaning was $85.00
Same dentist, same procedures $250!!!! This is more than inflation!
@@GregoryTheGr8ster No, I haven’t, but you’re right about that!
Agreed. I have no dental insurance and I have paid through the teeth (so to speak) for deep cleanings. Ugh.
Money is at the vibrational frequency that we can manifest and can flow in once we stop resisting it and releasing our blocks in our belief systems that actually prevent us from receiving it. Abraham Hicks or Jake Ducey good places to start for basic manifesting❤ money comes from all sorts of sources and all over the place, there is always enough and always more and there is no lack and limitation that's the mindset we were all programmed with from childhood. If it's not coming in then we have a subconscious block in our energy and in a subconscious program that we must uncover❤
Can the xylitol help the gums as well?
Dear Dr yourwisdom is so right !! Thank you so very much for sharing freely!!
Blessing always be too you!!
💐👍🙂🙏🏼💐
Sorry for word sentence typo mishap.. LOL 🙂
Dr . Ellie you are just wonderful. Thanks for your understanding and help. You are worth your weight in gold.
I’m going to try this method. I’ve never had any cavities but my gums are bad.
I started the protocol about 5 weeks ago and my teeth have gotten whiter, smoother, and the morning breath has gone. Thank you very much, Dr. Ellie.
Like other persons i am weary of fluoride, however, with results like these I am willing to take whatever risks that comes with the fluoride.
I will have a balanced video to put fluoride in perspective soon.
My husband and I started your teeth regimen today! My teeth already feel smooth. Interesting too is that my gums bled with the new toothbrushes you recommend. That said, they weren’t bleeding with the electric unless I flossed. I can feel the tooth brush going between my teeth so suspect this is why. I’m excited to see the change!
What exactly are you doing? I can’t figure the “system” people are referring to. The Amazon links have so many products.
@@rachaelsand7583 if you haven't seen, Dr. Ellie has a free download in the about section of the video. It outlines the products and what order to use them in. She also has a playlist of videos that covers the same info but in more depth.
Started the routine and my pocket is doing better!! Thank you!
You are a great human being, Dr Phillips! You are the only dentist talking about this, and helping us with one of the greatest stresses of life- the amount of money it takes to go to the dentist. If I don’t have the money to pay dentist my only choice is to go toothless because the fixing of teeth is too expensive.
On the other hand, for adults, the pain of the dental treatment is more understandable and tolerated, but for children… it has to be a terrible nightmare. I am not able to see a child being administered a vaccine because my heart just can’t stand it, let alone a child crying of fear and pain because of a dental appointment!
So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do !!!
I had a healthy molar removed by an NHS dentist 20 years ago. Ever since for some reason the ‘gap’ is painful and my jaw clenches at night and I’ve developed tinnitus 😢.
That’s awful! I’m so sorry! 😞
Thank you Dr. Ellie! Please make a video about the concerns of the crunchy granola set (my ilk) that refuse to purchase these products because they don't come from the health food store. I DID overcome my reluctance and couldn't be happier about it! But my friends all baulk at the idea of Crest and Listerine....
One friend even told me she's doing your CMCS but with "healthy" products. I highly doubt she's getting the same results.
I'm from Brazil We brush our teeth after breakfast, lunch or dinner at school or at work.We Carry our Toothbrush 🪥 in our bag. I have been in USA for 10 years and my co worker doesn't understand why I brush my teeth at work in the bathroom.
Thank you dr elli you saved my teeth ..god bless
Xylitol twice a day and now doing carnivore: I feel like I have two silver bullets in my Arsenal. And now to add in some longer fasts here and there and I think I'll have the trifecta towards health success ;)
So glad I found this wonderful person a few months ago.
When my kids were little, I always brushed their teeth after eating and before bed. If we went somewhere and I couldn't brush their teeth, I had them chew sugarless gum. The dentist told me I needed to brush their teeth myself until they were eight years old, so I did. I showed them how to floss, but only my oldest took to it at first. He is 30 and has never had a cavity. So, there you go. Take care of your teeth, don't miss a beat, and you'll be fine. And now I always use xylitol.
Thank you Dr Ellie Phillips
Thank you for this valuable information. Are there any substitution possible for the products for non US residents?
does xyitol affect the liver
I remember a 6th grade classmate had to have all his teeth pulled out. He was out of school for almost a month and then had to have dentures. Imagine? A 6th grader with dentures? So sad. I think America is so backward when it comes to dentistry. It should be covered by all insurance too, the mouth is part of the body, why is that (and eyes) always treated as something unrelated?? Oral health affects the whole body, it should be cared for like the whole body. I love your mouth care system, it's making my teeth feel great, no more bleeding gums, my teeth always feel clean and they look good, a nice white natural color. I'm so glad I found your videos, they're all wonderful. Thank you 🙏💕
That is sad 😔 I went to elementary school with a girl that this happened too and it's sad because maybe this information could have helped such a devastating event in a child's life.🙏🏽
America is for-profit. That includes dentists and doctors. That perverts everything here.
@drelliephillips can you do a video on products/system children should use?? Toothbrush, toothpaste etc? Ages 1 to 4 and 5+ if diff products/active ingredients are needed.. Thank you so much!!
I have a question. Why do some people never ,ever get cavities? One of our nephews (age 25) is blessed this way. I sure wish I'd known about xylitol when I was a kid. I'm 76.
I’ve never had any and I was told it’s because I have genetically hard enamel. But I have gum issues. Just never any TEETH issues.
@@indranidasgupta8982 thank you for that input...it's interesting!
I am 60 and still have a baby tooth upper left side mid mouth. Apparently it has a long root. Dentist all tell me about it but none seem particularly impressed or give me any kind of heads-up for anything to look out for. No sensitivity or pain. Just got my first batch of Ellie's X gum as trial to see how they work for me. Have been doing the recommended toothpaste for a few months now and my teeth feels better. I even cut out mouth wash and will add the recommended after I see how the xy-gums work.
Thank you for these amazing educational videos! … Blessings
This system is very beneficial since I have started using it. Thanks Dr Ellie!
This is an amazing video. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie. 😊
Thank you so much as always very informative video.
I am in my 40 plus my teeth’s are grinding how can I taking care of it and how can I stop them would be really help for your information 🙏🏻
We're can you find this product. Please
Dr Ellie please could you help me?
You have been a god sent ! After 2 months my tartar disappeared! The sensitivity is gone also ! But after 5 months of following to a tee, your system my teeth look brown, stained certainly by the use of Listerine...
Is there a product you would recommend in this case? I do value your opinion.
R u using the cool mint listerine?
I have heard Dr Ellie tell people to try making a paste by mixing some Crest toothpaste with xylitol sugar granules - and then brushing your teeth with that.... to help remove stains. Might be worth trying!
thank you Dr. Ellie...
Wish I knew this decades ago - I went through the horrors of a 1960's school dentist and unfortunately ignorant parents - I thank you for this information - I just discovered Peppersmith in the UK which supplies xylitol gum and mints bu t didn'y realise how important it was before watching these videos -
You may enjoy my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye - the story of how I discovered this system and method of care.
I've just read some dental studies with children that erythritol is way more effective (3-7 times) at reducing gum bacteria than xylitol.
How I wish that I had found this woman years ago.
I agree🥰🙏🏽
Me too
We're do you find that product
Love from Hongkong Dr Ellie❤❤❤
After doing Dr Ellie's routine meticulously for 6 months I had complete confidence going to my cleaning appointment in March. Imagine my chagrin when she told me I had horrible staining on every tooth and proceeded to scrape and prod and dig for an hour to get the stains off. I had not changed what I ate or drank in years, but the one thing I had done differently was the ACT mouthwash twice a day (label says to only use it once per day). As for plaque she said it "wasn't too bad."
It has cpc!
@@1alazydaisy what does CPC mean?
Are you using the MOUTHWATCHERS toothbrushes?
I suggest using this brand and allowing the brushes to dry 24 hours between uses.
The first 6 months is a time of risk for superficial stains. They brush away if you are using these more resilient brushes.
@@dr.elliephillips what do you mean the first 6 months are a time of risk for superficial stains?
@@TrainerInTraining CPC is Cetylpyridinium Chloride. It kills bacteria then sticks to the teeth where it decomposes. Look up more information on it.
Thanks Doctor for ur valuable advise about xylitol. I was unknown to it. As i have already seen written on gum but not known to its benefit . After watching ur video got to know. Now started using gum mint with xylitol and felt the difference .
Make sure the gum has no glycerine in it.
Been using the total mouthcare system for a few days and can’t believe how smooth my teeth feel.
I’m using xylitol crystals as I had to buy from the baking section in the supermarket (I’m in the uk) and would like to know how long to swish it in the mouth please? I try to do so for as long as possible but usually end up swallowing after a minute or two.
Also, does it have to be 5 times a day? I’m new to the system so sometimes forget…will I still see the benefit for three times a day? I guess it’s better than none!
Chew the gum or mint after meals, or dissolve the xylitol in warm water and swish it you cover all your teeth
I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly. We only spit but do not rinse with water after each step of the mouth care system.? Thank you in advance. I'm so excited to get started😊
@@tabbysullivan4337 no you don’t rinse with water at all
Dr.Phillips, thank you so much for all you do. I have been using your system for 3 months and love it.
May I ask why you don't recommend the X Pur Opti Rinse 0.05% neutral sodium fluoride mouthwash that contains xylitol instead of sorbitol that Act contains? Thank you!
I only recommend products that I am completely confident work together and achieve the absolute best possible outcomes for oral and general health. I never recommend glycerin in products - as glycerin appears to reduce mineralization and act as a plaque-magnet.
Feel free to do your own comparison but you will only know the outcome in the long-term - not just in a day or two.
The outcome I expect for people using my system is that they will no longer need dental cleanings or treatments.
I suggest you take yourself to this place with the products I know work - before you start making adjustments and experimentations.
@dr.elliephillips Do you have tips for me on what to use/buy because I live in The Netherlands it would be too expensive for me to order it via your website 🙏.
Would love to start with your method 😁
Thank you
Hi Dr. Ellie, thanks for the wonderful work. I have just started using your system and i can already see the difference. Just one question on xylitol, can i use it in granules form directly and swish it around the teeth for a minute. What's the best way you recommend? And is it good idea to take xylitol before bed after using the system? thanks
hi, i am replying because i had the same questions when i first implemented the system. i have watched many videos by dr. ellie since then so i think i got the answers for ya :) yes, you can use granules. she prefers mints but approves of granules as well. i use a teaspoon if i can't get to my favorite xylitol gums and i make sure i use the granules specifically after coffee/tea/sweets because it is insane how it instantly whitens your teeth after consumption, i am really fascinated. ex-smoker here too so it took a few weeks to whiten them but now i have gotten to a new baseline i guess so it happens instantly now after rinsing. truly remarkable. swoosh it around for a minimum of 2 minutes (but no need to overdo it) or until the sugar dissolves. yes, you can do it after the whole routine and before going to bed (just no drinking water afterwards). sorry for the long reply, hope this helps. cheers!
You didn't ask me but, I would use dissolved crystals. Yes I would be fine using it after bed. In fact some melatonin melts are sweetened with xylitol.
@@nat-kt1lethank you, very helpful 👍

I got my tooth filled with plastic almost 2 years ago. Now, it is decaying from the edge but has no pain at all. After meal , I'm cleaning my mouth and then eating some fruits or salad especially coconut (oil) .
Doctor said it is better to be caped for no decaying in coming time. What should I do now?
I always like before listening the content
I see there is Xylatol toothpaste. I assume that would be good to use also in conjunction with some gum
I buy the sugar xylitol and brush my teeth it that okay
It sounds just so good and I really wish that I had known that always but 🙏 for the fine info ♥️
Dr Phillips, can bone loss in teeth be reversible or regrow? Thanks!
Why do you think you have bone loss?
That is the first step in figuring out if it can regrow.
In situations where there has been bone loss because of gum (periodontal) disease - yes, once the gums grow back, the bone will follow.
That's how my Mom kept her teeth for 50 years and how others have saved once upon a time loose teeth.
Thanks so much for your prompt response, I have a cleaning and examination this morning, some gum inflammation caused by a flu caught over week ago. I had had gum recession, loose teeth, the inflammation made it looked even worse. I asked my dentist medicine has been so advanced, why the dental industry remains inventing new surgical tools, instead of researching fundamental causes and cares. He suggested some vitamin d and calcium intakes, nothing else can be offered. I hope there is some natural way to restore health of my teeth, by the way I am >65 of age. I am very much appreciated any help you may suggest ❤
@@sarachan254 I have a strategy I would recommend.
I have books that explain it - Mouth Care Comes Clean would be where you could start.
Then I have all the products described on my website and an oral health video bootcamp that you may find useful.

Does your routine help turn the inner part of the teeth that has been turned yellow for many years to white?
Dr. Ellie, what can you say about listerine causing highblood pressure?
I Googled & they claim, some toothpastes can raise it, also salt water rinsing. Just use the regimen at bedtime. Once a day & see how it goes.😉
I was visiting the dentist and he told me that there is a crack in my tooth that is causing me pain. Please, will it heal after using your system?
my worst teeth are the first permanent teeth I got in the back of my mouth. I did not use fluorine. And I had a lot of cavities when I was about 8 to 9 years. I was aregular at the dentist. After I began using flurine toothpaste the number of cavities dropped immediately. And after that I have only gotten them occasionally. But your program about xylitol is interesting. And also interesting that my teeth can be stronger even now, decades after the teeth came. I have always gotten some placke. But after I started to eat low carb, I have less of it. But now I chew xylitol gum several times a day, and hopefully that will prevent further issues with my teeth.
I find the mouth-biome theory very interesting. I used to have a dentist with bad teeth. Whenever I had been for my half-year check-up and cleaning (back then, the dentist did that himself), I had a period of gingivitis. With my new dentist, I never had that problem. Could it be he inadvertely infected his own patients? And what about dogs and cats? Do they also influence our mouth heal;th with their 'kisses' and licking habits?
Dr Ellie Phillips , thank you for sharing all these videos , your mouth care system really does work ! I’m just trying some different xylitol mints on Amazon made in Finland funny enough so should be pretty good !
A very good class for a healthy teeth,dear Doctor do we get this liquid in India if so ,by which name,❤
The dental nurses we had at school clinics in NZ seemed to love drilling. 😡 I’m convinced of that. We weren’t given anaesthetic for a filling.
My 10 year old son has YELLOW/BROWNISH spots on his teeth. The dentist says he migh have had an antibiotic that caused it, but no diagnosis, it looks like fluorosis. How do I help get his teeth normal? Thank you
Will Xylitol spike insulin when I am in my fasting window?
If you have 100% it should not. Zellie’s mints are 100%
Xylitol is good for a 2 y/o ?
I just started your 5 step plan today! Question -- if I do this plan at night before bed, but then get thirsty and drink water -- do I need to start the plan over or should I take a xyletol and call it a day?
I thought the 'don't drink (or eat) for an hour...' part only related to the taking of the xylitol? So as to maximise the flow of good saliva.
I had the healthiest teeth my whole life except for one cavity in highschool. After my first pregnancy i noticed my tooth and gum health had suffered horribly. My teeth became weak with chipping and bleeding gums. I hated flossing, brushing made me gag. After my last pregnancy i have started trying to take care of my mouth health. Hopefully not too late after 2 decades of pregnancies. 2 of my children just had horrible teeth preschool. I wish i knew this earlier. Sad that in an advanced country such as Canada there isn't better education about this 😠. Thank you for your educational content ❤
How is your teeth and gum now ? Having similar issues
@@sparklingbeautybee I've been crazy about flossing and brushing for about 3 years now. The bleeding gums have stopped however I've been trying all types of things. For a very long time I was using hydrogen peroxide to rinse so I'm learning that's not a good idea. Just started the xylitol so need more time there. I've switched over too extremely soft bristle toothbrushes. I spend a long time massaging my gums with the soft bristle toothbrush for about a year now. My gums feel better and look better (pink vs red). But I have yet to see a dentist to ask about my pocket improvement.
@@dah8789thanks for the details ! It is so hard actually to improve ! It is also my pregnancy no 2 after which everything went worse ! Lots of patience needed
Which listerine does she recommend?
Cool mint
Cool mint😊
Doing the program for 2 months now. But my teeth are stained from coffee and that isn't going away. I drink one cup of coffee in the morning, rinse my mouth out and suck on a xylitol mint. Still have stained teeth. Per Dr. Ellie my teeth are supposed to whiten and stay clean and brighten like hers. What's wrong?
Are you using the exact products I recommend. Be careful to use exact Closys UltraSensitive - NEVER gum health formulation. Also are you brushing with the MOUTHWATCHERS brushes? DrEllie.com
@@dr.elliephillips Yes, I'm using the EXACT products that you recommend Dr. Ellie... I purchased the kits from your website for my wife and I. And, I ordered the brushes off of your website (Dr. Plotka's Mouthwatchers). I know I have to follow your mouth care system exactly if I want results. Our teeth and mouths feel great, teeth feel stronger, and our anxiety about "you need to have deep cleanings every 4 months due to your age and gum recession" is gone. Yet, we still have brown stains on the side edges, in between, our teeth from coffee. What's is wrong? Why aren't they whitening and cleaning up for us?
@@dr.elliephillips Yes. Using exact products (ordered your kit). Using the Dr. Plotka Mouthwatchers (have two for morning/nite so they dry out for 24 hours). Our mouths feel really good and teeth seem stronger. Rinse mouth out with water after coffee and also suck on a xylitol mint. Yet we both have dark coffee stains along the edges in between our teeth. What's wrong?
@@alfredbell736 This is superficial stain - often remains of “ dead plaque”. It should clean away if you target it with your brushing & sufficient toothpaste on the brush.
If that doesn’t work I’d suggest you mix a 1/2 teaspoon of granular xylitol into the toothpaste you are using at the brushing part of the system. Tge xylitol makes the toothpaste a bit more exfoliating.
If you are not able to remove it - then I guess you can let your hygienist remove it at your next cleaning.
It is superficial debris - should be easy to remove - and should not return.
You can think about it as the dead plaque that was attached to your teeth when you began this system.
If you want to try one more thing: mix some xylitol crystals with the Crest toothpaste to make it more exfoliating.
is there a supplier in the UK?

how to regenerate my broken tooth nd heal large cavity??? Plz suggest something plzz
Same boat!
How can I get your information and also how can I buy the product
Thank you very much for interesting informations and helpful advice ❤
I found your videos this past weekend and have been binging them. I have a couple of questions I hope you or someone can answer. How long after brushing with your system can I start drinking water? Also, I have some cavities causing intermittent mild pain. When that happens I swish warm water with salt for a few minutes. Can I continue to do this until the effects of your system kick in? I don’t want to negate the healing from using your system. Appreciate any answers.
