Just started 3 weeks ago and had receding bleeding gums and painful and loose teeth. in 2023 they said they would deep clean ($2000) and then see what happens - I didn’t do that. Then I stumbled upon Dr Ellie’s video last month and tried her regimen and within the first week the sensitivity to hot and cold stopped and then the bleeding went away. I personally recommend Dr Ellie’s videos and website. Most dentists would only want to do filling and X-rays but not have a plan to help you keep your mouth and teeth healthy. But Dr Ellie is a great dentist and a blessing to us all. Please keep up your amazing service to humanity. Eternally Thankful 🙏
Started her complete system in dec 2023. Sitting at the table talking to my wife two days ago she said your teeth are getting whiter. At 70 thats a great compliment. This system works. I never brushed my teeth two times a day and never used any of these products. So it makes total sense this is happening.
@@Ananimous7777 If you cant buy the entire system in one box, waych her video on it, write down names of each product and do as i do: drug stores. seems like not every store carries the EXACT product. I have to go to two different stores. CVS/RITE AIDE. I now buy three bottles of each. Hope it helps.
I started almost 2 weeks ago - I'm doing everything exactly as recommended. I had major bleeding when brushing, even when brushing lightly. I've always loved anything acidic or citric, and I didn't realize how much I was damaging my teeth and gums. My mouth feels amazing now, teeth are less sensitive, breath is better all day, gums have stopped bleeding so much, and teeth are already looking whiter and brighter. I'm blown away tbh. Even my gums are already looking way healthier, being repaired. I'm so glad I found this chanel, my teeth and gums were in bad shape and I was very worried because I'm only 41 ☺️ thank you Dr. Ellie 🙏🙏
@@lady_kristine, you can, but it’s vital to follow that up with xylitol or another alkaline food afterward and give your saliva about an hour to remineralize your teeth and rebuild your gums while you’re not eating or drinking anything at all, not even water.
Dr. Phillips, Not only have I learned so much from you, but you have made me so enthusiastic and passionate about my oral health and helping to spread the good education to my friends and family and even the public. Bless you
Thanks so much for your message. Sometimes I do question, if my time is being shared for a good purpose. When I read these comments, I am encouraged! My future mission is to reach pregnant mothers and teach them about modern strategies for oral health. This would make such a difference moving forward.
@@dr.elliephillipsthank you so much Dr Ellie for what you do ❤ there is no one like you. I feel very fortunate to have found you so I can teach my child and I share with others what I have learned from you 🙏 thank you. Can I ask - do I reduce Act s effectiveness significantly if I want to rinse my mouth with water after rinsing with Act? Thank you❤
@@dr.elliephillips Your time is absolutely being used for good purpose! I have been sending my dear friend who is pregnant right now all of your information about Xylitol and kissing your babies!
Thank you dr. Philips ❤ I use your system just for couple months what a great improvements I notice in enjoying my life not just in proper care of my teeth ❤ Not to worry what I eat is a great blessing ❤
Dear Dr Ellie I am so grateful for the information you have shared, it’s truly been life changing for me. I am in my 50’s and have always had poor oral health, super sensitive teeth, and horrible tartar buildup with receding gums. I thought I might lose my teeth. I had my mouth deep cleaned to remove the heavy calculus and I’ve been using your system since November 23 and the difference it has made to my teeth and gums and, mental health, is just amazing. This knowledge is improving every area of my life as I feel more confident about my smile and breath. I have never brushed twice a day before and always used soft toothbrushes and had bleeding gums and heavy tartar buildup and peritonitis. I now have 2 mouthwatchers toothbrushes and brush twice daily using exactly the system you recommend. I am in Australia so the only drawback is the cost of the Chylosis and ACT is very high and I am searching for local products to replace them. I just cannot thank you enough for the blessing you have given me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1. number of times for oral hygeine in a day: take care of oral hygeine before sleeping, and after meals 2. flossing between teeth: use listerine. 3. limit sugar: not just sugar, but also limit acidic food and drinks. sipping water will dilute helpful saliva. 4. regular cleaning: regular cleaning could be mitigated with proper care (tip: use Dr Ellie Phillip's Oral Hygeine system); helpful biofilm could be stripped during cleaning.
Second dental appointment in a row with GREAT reports. I've been on the program for over 6 months now, everything's working as stated. I am so grateful. 🙏😁
Been doing Dr. Ellie's routine now for 2.5 months.. its been miraculous. I used to have plaque build up easily, especially due to my permanent retainer bar on the bottom teeth. No matter how much i flossed and brushed.. nothing worked great until I tried her system. Thank you for sharing this info Dr Ellie!!
My teeth were so sensitive, then I had a bridge put in and for two months the tooth under my bridge was extremely sensitive and painful. I started using Zellies mints and a modified version of the system (I know Dr Ellie won’t approve of any modifications but the Act was reacting to my teeth so I replaced with Closys at start and end of system) and no tooth pain! It’s been a miracle. I will never stop the xylitol again. Thank you Dr Ellie.
Stopping flossing and adding xylitol is not going to magic away pain at all. And if someone gets some metal framing done in their mouth which relies on adding pressure points inside your mouth that you've never had before, its sort of obvious that those parts of the mouth are going to get sore and stay sore until they get used to the new pressure/circumstances. Go ride a bike/horse the next few days for several hours and see how many days it takes before you stop feeling aches and pains... Not washing your feet is not going to reduce the pain, for most sane people.
For those who are hesitating to try Dr. Ellie's system I am here to report that her protocol works; I started it on Oct. 20, 2023 so half a year ago and I just had my dental appointment last week ( btw I go for check-ups once a year) and I have NO CAVITIES , my receeding gums are healing and don't bleed any longer, not to mention that my teeth are getting brighter and brighter every single day. At 58 that's something to be proud about. For newbies here, give yourself at least 3 months and If I can improve my oral health which impacts overall health anybody can so good luck 🙂 Dr. Ellie I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for educating us on this subject. 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤ Forgot to mention that during this check-up I decided not to go for scaling and so called cleaning of my teeth because as the dentist told me they look fine.
@@dr.elliephillipsmy new dentist charged me 1200 for 2 fillings!! She gave me toothpaste containing 1tbsp of product for 40$ containing sodium flouride to leave in my mouth overnight. Toothpaste has the same formula i read on the back. 40$ toothpaste!
You are the kind of doctors whom telling truth and helping people to be healthy without being trapped in industry money system. You are #God sent. There few doctors like you out there. Such good human being. Respect!❤🌷
@@oliviastar3812 I did an online interview with Dr. Michael Heff - who has a practice in Eastbourne... He seemed really nice. You could see if that is a possibility: th-cam.com/video/czrM8EEcuSw/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been doing her system for almost a year due to gum recession & my gums are growing back up the teeth!! I’m so excited. They seem to grow back from the back of the teeth, then up the sides in between the teeth, and lastly up the front. One of my problem places has almost completely healed (she says to consider receding gums like a wound which is why I say heal).
Really? That is amazing. Because they always say gums dont gtow back. How do you brush. I sometimes use an electric toothbruah and sometimes a manual brushes both harder and softer but dont know whoch is best for sensitive gums.
Wow.... This is so encouraging. I have yet to see mine grow like yours. I'm really looking forward. Been doing her system for 3months now... When did u actually see results start kicking in? Do share more.
@@christinechan3902 it definitely was a slow process and took more than 6 months of diligence to see a difference. I’ll have my next teeth cleaning coming up and that will mark a year so I’ll be interested to see that the dental hygienist says. At my last one they didn’t say anything about my gums but did say that all of the vertical lines in my teeth from clenching my jaw were gone. I did not mention to them that I was trying a new mouth routine because I’m waiting to hear them say something about it first.
@@JA-vv8wy Thank you so much for your prompt reply. In one of her latest videos, I remembered Dr Ellie mentioned to regrow gums it will probably take a period of at least 6months- New Strategy. Do check it out. Well, although it was a slow process your diligence did pay off. Congrats to you that your gums have been fully restored. So proud of you. ❤️😊😍
Very soon I will go for my first dental appointment since starting Dr Ellie in July 2023. It will be one year. I used to go every THREE months! I will try to remember what you said about healing from back to front. Very interesting! I have had pockets of 4-6 for 30 years! My favorite part of her mouth care system is brushing my gums all over my mouth! I picture them healing and getting stronger every time I do and knowing I don’t have to floss. I HATED FLOSSING!
The biggest (missing) piece for me in my dental routine was knowing WHEN to brush my teeth and to eliminate snacking in between meals!! I had such terrible habits with this and my teeth suffered. Now they are doing better -slowly. Thank you Dr. Ellie!!!

House of Mouth on the Gold Coast sells Closys - they have an online shop and post it to you. I’m in NSW and order it from them. I buy Colgate Neutrfluor mouthwash as a substitute for ACT. It has the same fluoride as ACT and is sold at Coles and Chemist warehouse.
I really enjoy listening to her. She seems so enthusiastic and passionate about helping people with their mouth health. I just recently started her system (on 3rd week so far). A couple of inflamed parts of my gums are no longer inflamed and it looks like one spot where the gums were receding are now growing back. My teeth are almost always smooth and glassy feeling, even in the morning. They also look brighter. I’m looking forward to continuing to use her full system. I appreciate that it is very easy to use. Thank you Dr. Ellie!
@@nirmalareddy4079 You don't need it as the xylitol is to be used just after meals and snacks. Using the system she recommends works and follow it down to the letter.
Your comment about Listerine being better than floss got my attention. Years ago, I told my dentist that same thing, and he poo-pooed me. I was having problems flossing because of the tight spaces between my teeth. I appreciate your videos as I am hearing information I have never heard from any dentist I have seen.
Extremely grateful for Dr Ellie and her dedication to dental health! Her system works! What do you have to loose by trying it? I decided to give it at least 6 months to a year. I’ve had horrible teeth since childhood and after a bad experience with an existing crown, I was searching the internet in Oct. 2023 and found her sharing her (well researched) system and decided to try it. I just went back to my dentist and took a bottle of Zellies mints. He wrote down the information from the label, he was shocked by the whiteness and health of my teeth! Thank you, Dr. Ellie!!!😁
I am loving the CMCS! I was very skeptical at first because I only ever purchased "natural" products from the health food store. But three weeks in and my tooth pain is gone and my teeth feel so smooth and clean! Getting whiter, too. I finally have hope for my mouth. God bless you, Dr. Ellie.
I was/am the same way with natural products, even made my own toothpaste. Just started her system 3 weeks ago and a tooth that was hurting is almost completely pain free and my gums have improved immensely. Looking forward to continuing .
this lady knows what she's talkin' 'bout. since I have not figured out a way to stop eating or drinking, I simply buy her Zellies in bulk. oh btw, they are delicious
I eliminated sugars for ~3 years (did a carnivore diet) - the plague was caked on, came back as fast as I removed it. So in my experience, eliminating sugar didn't really help much at all. Been doing the mouth care system (usually only once per day, before bed, i admit + plenty xylitol) for ~12mo now and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. No more plague at all. Gums looking healthy (horrible mess before). No more gay flossing, if there's something between my teeth I remove it (without having to bother my gums) with one of those plastic piks which looks like a small pipe cleaner. I prayed for help to fix my teeth, found this dentist's vids shortly after - could see results almost immediately. TY Dr Ellie, forever grateful!
@@childofthemosthigh3393 🙏🙏🙏 I tried so many different things before this(hydroxyapatite, oil pulling, charcoal, several "natural" toothpastes, no toothpaste, hydrogen peroxide, different diets, etc) nothing had more than a small impact. My dental health was really a huge mess. Already had many fillings and was facing root canals , crowns, extractions.. Some teeth my be too far gone but if you start this early enough and are consistent, you may be able to save a lot of your teeth. It's been a miracle for me. I actually feel quite good about my teeth now which is so damn nice.
I went carnivore and the backs of my bottom incisors were awful, much worse than usual. The hygienist wasn't happy, though she did say that the pockets around my top teeth were much improved. Reading comments on other channels, I think the plaque problem could actually have been oxalate dumping! Worth investigating. Interested to find out more about this lady's teeth cleaning programme!
@@lynnatk50 That's what I was attributing it to at the time (oxalate dumping) but I was 2-3 years in (moderately strict) and still seeing it as bad as ever. When I started doing this system, it stopped within days.. I now think it was particular bacteria causing it and when I dealt with that, it stopped.
I started Dr Ellie's program in November 2023 I've turned 6. I had receding gums and very sensitive teeth. I have noticed my gums have grown back, the sensitivity was eliminated and my teeth are whiter. I haven't been to the dentist in 12 months, but will probably check in soon so they can see the difference in the gums. I recommend her protocol highly and only wish I had started earlier.
@@tanyaevett yes, they have. A dentist had put a filling along the side of the exposed root. The gum has grown up to the filling now. It's been 8 months. It's working for me.
This makes me think that few dentists see this often because people who find success with this method stop going to the dentist regularly. And if they do show up with a problem eventually, I'm sure the dentist attributes the issue to the unorthodox methods of the patient.
Dr Ellie I just want to thank you so much for helping me. You cannot get a dentist in the UK for love nor money if you move areas. And I had severe toothache and an abscess even though I brush morning and night. From that desperation I have now gone to being able to chew an ice cube within two weeks. It's something I never thought possible. Thank you so so much.
I find this video extremely educational and thank you dr Ellie for your efforts to help us I started following your recommendations almost 3 weeks ago and I already see the improvements in my teeth. This video clarifies several questions that I had even after reading your book and watching most of your videos. Thank you once again for helping the ones who want to listen with an open mind.
I started Dr. Phillips' complete mouth care 5 weeks ago (March 2024) and I just had my dental cleaning a week ago. My dental hygienist was surprised that I don't have any stains on my teeth and i just started drinking coffee regularly about 3 weeks ago. On top of that, I had two back bottom teeth under cavity watch from my last dental (8 mo ago) cleaning and guess what... my dentist removed my cavity watch. Oh man oh man was I happy and shocked about that?!?! I couldn't believe it and I just had to share my experience. I told them I started taking xylitol (Zellie's mints) and mouth care system routine and they were surprised I knew about it and my hygienist was so happy that I've been taking xylitol and know about the importance of pH level in our mouth. She even said if you're taking xylitol regularly then you don't need flouride treatment on every visit. She was so proud of me. I just want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, Dr. Phillips for sharing your advice, knowledge and experience! Your mouth care system is what I've been searching for!
I began using your system several months ago after seeing your videos. When I try something I go all in, exactly, so I can never second-guess myself by saying I followed it 90% of the way. Nope, all in. So I did that but left out a key element, the xylitol. I had some mints that have xylitol but what if it wasn't enough? So I ordered two flavors of Zellies from Amazon and have begun using them several times thoughout the day. That did the trick! My teeth have become uniform in color and I have far less dark stuff come out when I spit out the Listerine. That's a real eye-opener when you use the Listerine!! What comes out!! I'm scheduled for my next dental cleaning on August 1st and cannot wait to hear what my hygienist has to say. I'll absolutely report back!! Thank you Dr Phillips - you are a God-send!!
We are just about the same. I started her system end of July 2023 and I am going to a new dentist in July 2024. Get this, my dentist of 15 years ( which is a big office), said it is their policy if I don’t get my teeth cleaned twice a year I cant be patient there. So NOW I have a new dentist. I have been going to a dentist every three months for over 30 years and still had pockets of 4-6. What do they say about doing it over and over and expecting a different result? Well I can’t wait for this exam! And I too am 100% all into Dr. Ellie’s protocol.😉. I love how healthy my mouth feels now.
@@francineclave2207Wow, that's really something! Clearly your dentist sees you as a commodity bringing money into his office and not a human in need of real care. Such an abhorrent policy! This is very similar to other allopathic requirements that do nothing for our health and only hurt us. Glad you are seeking out a new dentist. Best wishes to you.
@@CAC-1111 While she was impressed with how clean my teeth were, I still had issues between my teeth. That tells me that either I need to floss (which Dr Ellie says to not do) or something else. My hygienist suggested those little dental flosser things that look like a Christmas tree to go between the teeth prior to brushing. So that's what I've been doing. I'm still using the entire System but am using those little things. Now I wait 'til mid-February for my next cleaning. I still like the results I'm getting - zero sensitivity, thank God!!
Dr. Ella, I really love you. You are a wonderful and caring person. I have been using your complete method and it is working. My gums are building up beautifully. My partials have to be readjusted. Thank you so very very much ❤️🌷🌻🌺🌸🌹🤩😀😃🌼💐😍😘
Im 71. started Dr Ellie's system 14 months ago, not had a problem since, my teeth are whiter than ever in my life by far! this system is wonderful. and helps thousands of people have better teeth - and I dont know any other system that does
Myself, husband, 12 yo son, and 72 yo mom have been using Dr. Ellies complete mouthcare system since February 2024. The results speak for themselves. It works. Period. We will never stop using her system as our mouths have never felt so healthy. I just reordered all the supplies so we didn't run out! Thank you, Ellie, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Update: my husband went in for his routine cleaning and exam in May. His dentist was so impressed with his positive change in gum health that he stopped during the exam and rechecked his notes because he thought he looked at a different patients chart! He asked who the dentist was and what was her protocol because he wanted to learn how this type of healing could be possible in such a short amount of time with OTC products.
UPDATE #2: went in for my routine 6mo cleaning and exam. Back in February I was told I had 5 cavities that required filling and I needed a deep cleaning in one upper quadrant with 5mm pockets. My perio chart was done and it was all 3's, 4, and two 5mm pockets. The treatment totaled 2k for all the needed dental work. I didn't schedule the appointment for the dental work but rather, I immediately started Dr. Ellie's complete mouthcare system 1 week after that horrendous appointment with hopes it would reverse the damage in my mouth. I'm proud to say I used her precise strategies for 6 straight months and went in for my next check-up and cleaning. The dentist was shocked that all 5 of the cavities were GONE! The hygienist re took my perio chart measurements and all my pockets were 2mm except for two that now measured 3mm. So thank you Dr. Ellie!! In my case as well as my husband, we had a complete resolution of the serious dental issues we were experiencing and will never stop using her Complete mouthcare system.
My wife and I have been using your system for a little over 2 months now. Our teeth are definitely feeling smoother. My wife's teeth are white (she used to use whitening gels from the dentist) so no change. My teeth have always been yellow, especially over the last ten years or so. I'm hoping that the system will get them whiter. My back teeth have always been far whiter so I'm hoping over time that my front teeth will become more uniformly white or white-ish. We are using Xylitol after every drink of liquid, meal, or workout (mouth feeling dry). Neither of us had gum disease before starting your system. I do feel like my teeth are a little more sensitive (since using the system) and my gums feel a little raw sometimes. I have always flossed daily and since stopping I only floss a little if there is something caught in between my teeth. But now my gums bleed easily. Interested in how this will evolve. My wife is about to have her 6 month dental checkup/cleaning and we are eager to see what the dentist will find. My check-up will be 3 months from now. Sticking to the system! So, my question is, if the hygienist sees plaque should they remove it? Also, should we allow the hygienist to polish our teeth? Or should we skip that? Does that process remove building enamel? Thanks in advance!
I feel that my gums are healthier using this system, however my teeth seem to have a darker tinge to them. I’ve always been a tea drinker and not sure why this is happening.
Hi. I had severe tooth decay, and my gums were unhealthy. Went to the dentist to fix my issues and 2 tooth extractions, 4 crowns and an ongoing implant later, I found out that the healing wasn't as easy as I anticipated. The dentist wanted me to use listerine mouth wash, but not too excessively because it could impead healing. When I complained about pain in the gums socket, I was given a prescription mouth wash with an applicator to flush out debris and help disinfect. But again, the warning was that over use could actually stop the healing process. You may have to cut back on the listerine a bit. Don't brush your gums so hard or long. And see your dentist about your gums. They might be able to recommend something. By the way, I started using Dr Ellie Philips routine after the dentist finished most of the dental work, and my gums are more healthy. The hardest part is not drinking between meals.
Are you using the Mouthwashwers toothbrushes she recommends? They are amazing. I stopped using my Sonicare and use them instead. It's like a massage for your gums. ☺
One day, dentists will listen and adopt what Dr. Ellie has been teaching. I wish we grown ups could go back in time to avoid a lot of the damage caused by dentistry. I hope my grandchildren can benefit from these approaches, along with other young people. Seems like our bodies have a lot of sense, if we could just stay out of the way better.
It wont happen without some big changes, the entire healthcare industry in the US is designed for profit. Why tell you how to take care of your teeth properly when they make money every time you come in? The internet and social media allow people like Dr Phillips to break through to the masses. If enough people get educated then something can change. This spans across most topics, not just oral care. She reminds me of Martin Riese who educates people on drinking water and how purified water is a waste of money. I truly wonder what other ares of life have a Martin or Ellie with life changing information.
This plus Mewing for good strong jawline (maybe just cut down on the need to chew hard gum) I have wide smile and strong jaw due to eating whole foods from young (though not perfect one crooked tooth at one side behind ) I believe we need to chew more to develop jaw space so we won't have crooked teeth. The habit of chew more vegetables and fruits instead of drinking it as juice (I only drink blended frozen strawberries with milk no added sugars as a morning treat as fresh strawberries are expensive) the rest are via eating and nose breathing as a habit
I've been using your method for a couple weeks. So far, I'm still waiting to see results, but for sure the breath is amazing specially in the morning . I was also flossing, right when you recommend it, if we decide to do it. I needed to floss, but after a few days I realized there's no need! I hope I re-mineralize and whiten my teeth and heal my receding gums. I'm being very diligent and doing everything you suggested. Thank you Dr. Ellies
I used to never have to floss until a dentist dug out my silver fillings for white ones and chipped my back teeth. Forever since then debris/food gets stuck between no matte how much I brush or rinse. I'm flossing those teeth after brushing and before Listerine.
Have you all tried oil pulling? I saw this ladies video recently and maybe this can be helpful in remineralizing your teeth to close the hole. th-cam.com/video/trvMgLQEnYw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z_I5ar6792cp0PSB
Hi Dr. Phillips, have you heard of the Matador Flatpak toiletry bag? It's made of a breathable material that allows water inside to evaporate through it. I use their bar soap bag and the soap is always dry the next day! I thought it would be cool if you tried it out, maybe it'd be something you could recommend to travellers to improve the conditions of their toothbrushes while on the road.
Started using the system with products I bought (expensively) in the UK, on Amazon or eBay. Today just received a package from my sister in America. The products are so much cheaper there! My teeth feel so clean ❤❤❤
Hey. I just stumbled upon your channel and found myself watching ALL off your videos. I feel empowered and enlightened. I'm 28 years old and a new mother to an almost 2 year old little girl. I feel so thankful that I found your channel and all of your insanely mind blowing information that I can pass along to my daughter. Unfortunately, I had not been doing the correct things (your methods) for my entire life. I thought i had great oral hygiene, but my gums continue to recede and I haven't been to the dentist in 5 years. Additionally, I take a low dose of stimulants to treat my executive functioning issues. I've tried going without, and Im just not able to function in this fast-paced world of individualistic living.. I simply can't keep up. So the medication is a must, for now. Im aware of the effects stimulants have on oral health (raising the ph of saliva, dry mouth, etc) and I do practice correct tongue posture and NEVER mouth breath. I'm anxious to know if I can continue to take my medication without if affecting my teeth/gums in detrimental ways. What would you recommend I do additionally to counter the effects of stims or is your method enough to counter those effects? Thank you so much for spreading this knowledge. People like you are why i'm grateful the internet exists!
Along with the affirmative approach of using a few products that work together, I so appreciate that none of Dr Phillips lessons are judgmental or what didn't happen. It is refreshing to just start where the patient is & keep moving. The 'Bad Dog' stigma some dental staff deliver is a debilitating choke chain of shame--so counter productive. This protocol w/ my teeth has sparked my own sense of connection in general. TY.
I believe dentists do that to push the responsibility back onto you because they do not know how to heal you. Maybe on a subconscious level they know that and that they are just using you as a tool to make money. Blaming you is a way of making them feel better about themselves.
@dr.elliephillips Hi Dr Phillips. I work outside in the desert heat and the tropic. (Florida, Texas and Nevada). I really have to sip (chug) water many times constantly throughout the day. Is the solution to just take a mint each time? Or, can I make a xylitol water? mix the powder in a gallon of water or something...?
Honestly , I would not purposely swallow xylitol . Chew the gum to get the xylitol “juices“ onto the teeth for the benefit but then try to spit out the accumulation of saliva that’s mixed with xylitol after a few minutes . Xylitol is harmful to the liver , kidneys and health over time . Look it up. Good for teeth but not something I would eat or cook with .
What other methods are you using to clean between your teeth? (6:52) Is the toothbrush you recommend the Record V that's on Amazon because the other tooth brushes on Amazon, under your products to use, say extra soft. On this video you say that you don't actually recommend a very soft toothbrush.
The weird thing is that her favorite best toothbrushes, Dr. Plotka's Mouthwatchers brushes, are actually medium-firm, even though they call them soft or extra-soft. She said you can't go by why the manufacturers call them, because they aren't being truthful. Since most people think they need to be using soft brushes, the manufacturers want to call them what they think people want to hear! But the Mouthwatchers brushes are the correct ones, no matter what they call them. I do remember her saying the Record V was another good option, but her fave is Mouthwatchers.
Forgot to say, the Listerine step in the Complete Mouth Care System is what she calls the "liquid flosser". She says it can get between the teeth to clean better than any string floss ever could. (It is to be swished very vigorously for 30-45 seconds, but only as part of the CMCS, never by itself.)
I have been following Dr Phillips teeth cleaning method for about 6 months with one exception. I tried not flossing but found my gums started bleeding, so now I floss as first step and then continue with rest of the steps before going to bed.
I just watched this super helpful video. I do the regimen, but have not done the xylitol mints right after the fluoride rinse… -right before sleep. I thought the fluoride rinse was supposed to have time to sit on my teeth for awhile. So, can I safely say, xylitol mints do not disrupt? interrupt? the fluoride rinse process? ~OR, Do I still need time in between the two? ('Like 30 minutes?) I appreciate any feedback. 🙏
Your videos are so interesting, thanks. I haven’t been to a dentist for 17 years having previously bought into the system sold to me from an early age. Our wonderful body is capable of looking after us if we feed it well 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
It would be great if you could ask whether or not you need a dental cleaning and get an honest answer. I somehow think you would always be told you do, because when it comes right down to it, you are dealing with a business whose aim is to make money. And what business is going to turn away revenue.
Really I cannot even envision a dental hygienist telling you that you don’t need it. Mine told me to come every 4 months, so 3 times per year. She knew I really care for my teeth and would come, now I question if there was a real need. I moved and went to a different hygienist and she said “you almost don’t have anything to scrape off”
Her system: chew xylotil gum (zellies) between meals. When brushing teeth: 1/ Gargle with Closys 2/Brush with crest anticavity protection toothpaste 3/ Gargle with Gold listerine 4/Gargle with Sensodyne fluoride mouthwash.
Wrong. You don't gargle with anything. You bathe the teeth with Closys. You swish through the teeth with the Listerine and you swish with ACT, not Sensodyne. Nothing is to be gargled at the back of your throat. Where did you get this information about gargling and about Sensodyne?
Have someone ever noticed there translusent teeth got enamel back after using xylitol long term? Some times when i look in the mirror does it look like the enamel comes back, but i'm not sure if it's just an illusion. Can someone tell me what's going on?
Hi Dr. Thank you for sharing your superb knowledge, I just started your system of cleaning my teeth, but I couldn’t find the xylitol and closys I just have the toothpaste and listerine is there any substitute on the product? I live in Alberta Canada. Thank you and God Bless!
Thank you, Dr. Ellie 🙏🏻 Your system is working well for me although I have only just started. Will the tea/coffee stains also go at some point or will I have to have my teeth cleaned at the dentist for that? Thank you!
Hi Dr. Phillips, I'm still nervous about using Listerine. Is it ok to replace Listerine with a xylitol solution instead? Listerine and xylitol kill the same bacteria, right?
My OLD dental office said when I postponed my “cleaning” if I don’t get my teeth cleaned twice a year I can’t be a patient there. I now have new dentist and they are very excited to have me and see what’s what. There are good dentists!
The problem about sipping water is that we just dont drink enough. Half your body wt. In ounces is what we need every day. Chronic dehydration sneaks up and causes kidney stones, advanced aging and inreases body inflammation and toxification. So this is a problem. Whats the missing link between this protocol and physical health /body organs that struggle? Got to be something more than this.
By all means get all the hydration you need just try not to stretch it out by slow sipping it throughout the day. Have your 8 oz glass shots and then chase it with xylitol mints.
@@stephenfeldman8104 yeah I've done that but I'd need a ton of xylitol and it got to be pricey. Plus I'm not sure if all that xylitol has a bad effect after a while too. I have to research that.
I am experiencing these brown spots on my teeth after a few months following the protocol. Looks like someone painted a brush stroke of coffee color here and there. Especially between my teeth where I used to floss. My teeth feel fine though. Much less sensitive and no bleeding gums. Would be reassuring if there was a video that explains side effects to expect when following the protocol.
Flouride in act mouthwash and crest cavity protection toothpaste are okay? Cause i watched videos where some doctors say the flouride in mouthwash and toothpaste causes high blood pressure and heart disease. Please clarify dr. Ellie. .my family started using this system for a month now.
Did you notice she has more videos about her full system? The exposure to fluoride and such are carefully controlled, and limited in time. I'm a certified health nut here, but I follow her system and remain healthy. If you suffer from circulatory or heart problems of course you should pay attention to your readings and symptoms, but also pay attention to how the system is described.
i saw the video you mention from a certain dentist who gave Dr Ellie no right of reply. In my opinion the link to high blood pressure from a mouthwash is ridiculous unless you are drinking it instead of spitting it out.
@@Pinkpandacoat Information problems usually begin with unscientific "studies". In this case a "study" looked at the effect of prescription strength antiseptic and very strong concentration of Chlorhexidine - but simply referred to it as "mouthwash". The shocking idea was picked up by the Media and without looking deeper they went on to suggest that Listerine was a problem. What a mess. The only "mouth wash" that we should worry about to cause BP and breathing issues - is protracted use of prescription strength Chlorhexidine. Some years ago another unscientific "study" reported a link between mouthwash and diabetes. In this one the "so-called-researchers" failed to recognize that the self-reporting about the use of unspecified "mouthwash" was from obese individuals with chronic periodontal disease ( both high risk factors for diabetes). The study findings were questioned in a paper by Periodontal Researcher and Dean of the University of Dundee - Philip Preshaw....but still the myth of all this swirls on the Internet. Dr. Preshaw gave a gracious assessment saying that "methodological limitations in the study bring into question the generalisability of the findings"..... so yes, it's hard to know "scientific" truth - if you separate it from long-term observational clinical experience.
@@dr.elliephillips Hi, I did a pH test comparing xylitol and brown sugar and both are pH 7 (alcaline). And brown sugar causes cavities even though is alcaline, I am scared of using brown sugar or xylitol I have periodontal disease and bought your book already =), but still scared of xylitol.
What's the .5 percent fluoride you recommend I swish with. I've been doing the xylitol thing for like 3 weeks. I have a cavity on a bottom tooth. Can't afford the dentist right now so this is my wing and a prayer thing. You really, really, really seem like you're super nice. I really hope this works. If only to build a stronger tooth before I go and get this filled. Thank you for your videos.
Cavity removal costs a lot less than root canal go to the denist immediately and get it sorted ....if you cant afford it now you sure as hell cant afford whats coming if you dont deal with it.
I don't believe anybody on earth at your age has such beautiful teeth. You are the object lesson of your ideas that you preach. You need not say, American Dental Association ia advocating xylitol ( after all I doubt if they have any real good intentions for mankind). What you say and you preaxh as a person is good enough and sufficient enough.
I find much good advice here but not the elimination of flossing. I have teeth with mal-occlusions which trap food particles which ONLY flossing is able to dislodge. I hope you will agree that leaving food particles between the teeth no matter what additional techniques are used will have negative results. 7:56
As an oral cancer survivor I kindly ask that you please advise people to still see their dentist at least annually for oral exams even if not getting a cleaning. It is important to check oral health, especially as a screening for oral cancer even before symptoms are detected. I was a non-smoker, no HPV detected, yet a very small peduncular lesion was seen on my lateral tongue and found to be stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma, surgically cured by a partial glossectomy and a modified radical neck dissection to remove lymph nodes. 21 negative lymph nodes was the best -0- on a test I ever received and now I just endure annual surveillance checks with my ENT going on 20 years…we will grow old together!
Visiting the dentist once a year is Good advise. My dad had tongue cancer and I know how hard it was for him. I agree and plan to get checked once a year for that very reason.
She has said this more explicitly in other videos to go for the annual exam, xrays and what not.. this vid it is implied where in at the time is when you'd ask the question, 'do i need a cleaning?'
I wish I could find a dentist who would do this. None here wants to see me if I don’t do a cleaning plus all crazy x rays. They say they NEED this to see me and evaluate. A bunch of bs but literally every dentist demands this.
I have used your system for over 8 months now. The sensitivity in my Lower right jaw is almost completely gone and I think I am regrowing gum around some teeth. Those results are fantastic. But I also now have brown stains in between my teeth. I am so worried. I looked it up and I see this can happen to some people with ACT. What can I do? Does that mean I need to stop using it?
Same, I think it’s the remineralization process. In one of her videos, she explained about scabbing of bacteria/caries with teeth repairing underneath. Wish she would explain this more in her videos.
Dear doctor Ellie, after struggling for weeks to find your recommanded products NOT available in France, I finally got some of them from the States or England for very high prices. But paying 80€ shipping for Act is really getting too much for me! Now I finally found what I think is an equivalence to Act, which is called DENTAID mouth wash, which contains sodium fluoride 0.05%, PH 6.1, Xylitol, no alcool, no ethanol, no color! Could you please tell me if this sounds correct to you? I know you recommend to use all the products for results, but until now, before finding this product I'm expecting these days, I did everything except the Act in the end, and I already have good results!!! I'm ever so grateful to you, and listen to all your podcasts on TH-cam! As soon as you answer me, I will tell everyone around here in France and Holland where I originally come from. And please let us all know when these products will be available in Europe, ( we have Listerine cool Mint, that's all ) which will make it much more affordable for us !! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion 🙏 Take care, Caroline
Ma'am I'm using your crest toothpaste and also maintaining healthy lifestyle The only one thing I want to know that there is mild stains in between my teeth very mild I guess it happens because my enamel is weak so if I strengthen the enamel by chance so will the mild stains go by itself or not Pls reply it will be very helpful ❤
I also really want to have a nice "complete mouth care system", these videos motivate me. But after checking out what she recommends, I feel disappointed. I don't want to use products with fluoride, put alcohol in my mouth etc. I'm all about organic and natural options. I wish Dr. Phillips would give alternative options. If I recall correctly, in her complete mouth care video she explained that, yes, there are ingredients in the products she promotes that she isn't happy about, but to still use them. Why doesn't Dr. Phillips make her own stuff like she did with the zellies ? And yes I read all of the countless positive reviews. I just don't want to put certain things near or in my body. I chew Xylitol gum and I tape my mouth shut with medical tape when I sleep so that my oral cavity doesn't dry out. These things are great already.
Dr, good talk, but you shocked me when you said you don't floss !! I feel it's the best thing I've ever done to my teeth, and i have been doing it since I was a kid,and I never feel comofrtable not doing it before sleeping.
My one problem with not flossing is that mouthwash doesn't seem to remove all food matter from in between my teeth. I've been trying to floss less based on your recommendations, but I feel it's still necessary. So when I floss, my focus is more on dislodging food bits rather than "cleaning" in between them. I rely on mouth wash for the rest. Does anyone have any advice for me in this regard?
if there's food stuck in between your teeth then you must take it out, no matter what method you use. I think dr ellie's point about flossing to take out plague is not needed if you follow her mouthcare system. I use a waterfloss on my normal teeth and string floss on my impacted wisdom tooth(nasty shit to deal with) in short, it depends on your personal situation really, letting food rot in between your teeth is not ok no matter who tells you its ok.
I have to get the debris out with floss too. Not everyone is the same so some of us have to do this. She recommends using the floss after brushing your teeth while you still have toothpaste in the mouth. Then use the mouthwashes.
Also if you're concerned about your gums, just don't bring the floss all the way up to the gum line and be gentle. I have a couple of spots between my teeth that collect food and always have to floss those areas.
Dr Ellie does say in another video that you can use floss or interdental brush to remove food remains and if you need to do that to do it right after brushing while there is still toothpaste in your mouth 👍🏻
(J) hi Dr. Ellie, something came across my viewing feeds about using mouthwash. Showing that a significant amount of nitric oxide(NO) is made by the bacteria living in our mouth. And people with vascular and respiratory issues should be careful of which mouthwash if any to use. And I can say for myself, when I correlate the time starting the protocol my asthma issues rose. What are your thoughts, because it is another dentist that has brought the nitric oxide issue to light for me. Thank you
I started following the program and after a month noticed that Listerine and ACT stains my teeth. I can use an electrical brush or miswak, the wooden stick to remove or lighten the stain. A regular brush does not remove the stain (usually near the gum line and it between teeth). The moment I user Listerine and ACT after removing the stain, I can see the staining is back. Was wondering if I'm doing anything wrong or something is up. My teeth feel smooth, good and clean but if you look closely you see dark stains that make them ugly. I follow the recommended steps: CloSys Wash, Crest paste, Original Listerine, ACT Anticavity. My wife (have to point) doing the same steps and program and her teeth do not get stained!
That staining is sticky dead plaque bacteria that you likely were not brushing hard enough to remove, or else you did not have the Mouthwatchers toothbrushes that are up to this job. Here is what Dr. Ellie said about this elsewhere: "Teeth staining: “Good stains” are seen on teeth when dental disease has been rapidly controlled, when the remnants of thick plaque and harmful bacteria die off quickly. The debris collects around the tooth, often looking like a dark stain at the gum line. This stain is the sign of improved oral health, less bleeding, and a healthier mouth and gums. A dental cleaning will quickly remove this kind of staining and leave the healthier teeth pristine and white. If you do not have a cleaning within a couple of months of starting the complete system, the sudden improvement in your oral health may result in a thin band of stain forming around the edges of your teeth at the gum line. This staining is not a problem, is not permanent, and is not at all unhealthy. This stain is dead plaque debris that has shriveled up and formed a hair-like deposit around the edge of your teeth. One cleaning at the dentist will remove this band of debris. Ways to address: 1. Are you using the Mouthwatchers brushes that I recommend? You must get away from fear of brushing too hard. It's not true and you will not do damage by brushing - you will get rid of these stains! 2. Do you let your brushes dry for 24 hours between uses? (and have 2 brushes - one for AM and one for PM.) Never soak them in anything or they will get too soft. 3. Are you brushing this area of your mouth where you are seeing the stains? Aim at these areas first, when you have the most toothpaste on your brush, and before you do the gum massage, etc - this is almost always superficial debris that just takes a bit more work to remove. 4. Are you using the system 2x daily? You will get staining if more plaque forms on teeth every 12 hours during the first months - before the oral bacteria have been balanced. In the future you may be able to skip a time or two - but not in the first months. 5. Do you stop eating and drinking completely - not even water - after the xylitol at the end of meals? This allows the new healthy protective biofilm to form, and it is this biofilm that will stop your teeth from accumulation of this debris. You may also want to have a Zellies mint last thing at night before sleeping. 6. This stain is not a health problem - just no one likes a dark stain. But it is superficial debris and will brush off; just use a bit more toothpaste and some more energy on these areas. 7. IF this extra energy and toothpaste trick is NOT ENOUGH to get rid of the stain - then you are going to make a special paste for yourself - Exfoliating paste: Mix together half a teaspoon of granular xylitol with a big squeeze of the Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste. Use this exfoliating toothpaste mixture - aim at the stains first thing every morning (not during the system.…but as you get out of bed in the morning). Just target these stains with this mixture of xylitol crystals + toothpaste. In 3-4 days the staining should have disappeared completely. Then you do not need to keep using this mixture; you can go back to the normal paste as a part of the system.”
I used to make my own xylitol mouth rinse, which was great, then I heard about salt water. I've been using a concoction of 1 cup water + 1 tsp pink salt (just a sip, of course) every night after cleaning my teeth (before bed). The pink salt has minerals in it. I've been using it for a year & it seems to be working okay. Does Dr. Ellie have an opinion on this?
Chew gum cause IBS excess air - I dilute the Xylitol with water and use it as mouthwash three to five days daily - any suggestions if this method will have any benefits?
SORRY TO SAY THIS PROTOCOL DID NOT WORK AFTER ALL. I wish with all my heart it had. Back to cleanings and flossing. Still doing xylitol and gum brushing. It was flossing that started me thinking after 30 years why aren’t my pockets ever getting better? I thought, isn’t flossing pushing debris deeper into my gums? I learned about Dr. Ellie’s system in July 2023 and it made so much sense I put it right into practice. In two more months it will be a year and I am going to a new dentist to get my teeth and gums examined (not cleaned!!!!). My teeth feel so smooth now and I have had no gum bleeding at all. I can’t wait to see what they say! It’s not about the money…. It’s about my health!
@@morespinach9832 I watched Dr Ellie’s videos starting last year in late July, not so many of them were out back then. What she said made SENSE. I bought her Oral Boot Camp teachings series for $99. watched them and then started doing what she taught. In late May (as a way of independent testing) I took an oral micro biome saliva test with a lab called Bristle. I was thrilled with my results. Now it’s off to my new dentist for my current pocketing numbers in August. Super excited for those too. Ohhh and don’t forget xylitol!
@@vijidurvasula7744 sorry you are right I wasn’t clear. After one year on Dr Ellies program I went to a new dentist with my dental records in hand. I had new x-rays taken and periodontal probing was done to see how much my pockets had healed. Unfortunately, they had not improved at all and I had even acquired a new six deep pocket. Because my teeth felt so clean, and my breath was good I thought for sure her system was working. Unfortunately, for me, it did not. My plan of attack now is working with my new dental hygienist, brushing twice a day, flossing, water flossing, nanohydroxy tooth paste and a xylitol mouth rinse “Risewell”and then retest my oral Microbiome with a company called Bristle about three more months, I was watching another oral doctor on TH-cam and their recommendation was to “test not guess”, so that’s the direction I am going.
Greetings from the Netherlands Dr. Ellie! So glad to have found you channel and looking forward to start your mouth system soon. I just ordered from Amazon US. In the meantime, I’ve been looking for alternatives here in Europe. Can this be an alternative of ACT anticaries? I found this one from Dentaid, Fluor Aid with 0.05% Sodium chloride and Xylitol. No alcohol. Here are the ingredients list: Water, sorbitol, glycerin, propylene glycol, xylitol, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, sodium benzoate (sodium benzoate), sodium methyl parahydroxybenzoate (sodium methyl paraben), sodium fluoride, sodium saccharinate (sodium saccharinate), citric acid, mint flavor. I would highly appreciate a response. Thank you in advance!
I have been doing Dr Ellie Phillips full routine for about 30 days now. A strange thing happened to me I had a filling on top of a my canine teeth just near the gum line. Yesterday the filling fell off which makes me concerned that Dr. Phillips protocol is so harsh to my teeth is it doing to do any damage if it removes fillings? Also, not sure if I should go back to get the new filling or just go through the protocol to se if the tooth will naturally heal. I wish there was a way to do a consult with her.
Just started 3 weeks ago and had receding bleeding gums and painful and loose teeth. in 2023 they said they would deep clean ($2000) and then see what happens - I didn’t do that. Then I stumbled upon Dr Ellie’s video last month and tried her regimen and within the first week the sensitivity to hot and cold stopped and then the bleeding went away. I personally recommend Dr Ellie’s videos and website. Most dentists would only want to do filling and X-rays but not have a plan to help you keep your mouth and teeth healthy. But Dr Ellie is a great dentist and a blessing to us all. Please keep up your amazing service to humanity. Eternally Thankful 🙏
I’m really praying that this will work as I’m 60 and my teeth are loose
So what exactly did you do?
@@jcjam-2.0 DrEllie.com for my Complete Mouth Care System - free booklet and where to purchase the products you need.
Started her complete system in dec 2023. Sitting at the table talking to my wife two days ago she said your teeth are getting whiter. At 70 thats a great compliment. This system works. I never brushed my teeth two times a day and never used any of these products. So it makes total sense this is happening.
Where to get her complete dental program?
@@Ananimous7777 If you cant buy the entire system in one box, waych her video on it, write down names of each product and do as i do: drug stores. seems like not every store carries the EXACT product.

@@Ananimous7777 Her website but she recommends pretty basic items you can get in any store. She has more on her full mouth care video
70 and making comments on youtube, that alone is impressive sir
@@Ananimous7777Amazon has a kit I think
I started almost 2 weeks ago - I'm doing everything exactly as recommended. I had major bleeding when brushing, even when brushing lightly. I've always loved anything acidic or citric, and I didn't realize how much I was damaging my teeth and gums. My mouth feels amazing now, teeth are less sensitive, breath is better all day, gums have stopped bleeding so much, and teeth are already looking whiter and brighter. I'm blown away tbh. Even my gums are already looking way healthier, being repaired. I'm so glad I found this chanel, my teeth and gums were in bad shape and I was very worried because I'm only 41 ☺️ thank you Dr. Ellie 🙏🙏
Have you continued consumung citric/acidic food/drinks?
@@lady_kristine, you can, but it’s vital to follow that up with xylitol or another alkaline food afterward and give your saliva about an hour to remineralize your teeth and rebuild your gums while you’re not eating or drinking anything at all, not even water.
Dr. Phillips, Not only have I learned so much from you, but you have made me so enthusiastic and passionate about my oral health and helping to spread the good education to my friends and family and even the public. Bless you
Thanks so much for your message. Sometimes I do question, if my time is being shared for a good purpose. When I read these comments, I am encouraged! My future mission is to reach pregnant mothers and teach them about modern strategies for oral health. This would make such a difference moving forward.
@@dr.elliephillipsthank you so much Dr Ellie for what you do ❤ there is no one like you. I feel very fortunate to have found you so I can teach my child and I share with others what I have learned from you 🙏 thank you. Can I ask - do I reduce Act s effectiveness significantly if I want to rinse my mouth with water after rinsing with Act? Thank you❤
@@dr.elliephillips Your time is absolutely being used for good purpose! I have been sending my dear friend who is pregnant right now all of your information about Xylitol and kissing your babies!
Thank you dr. Philips ❤
I use your system just for couple months what a great improvements I notice in enjoying my life not just in proper care of my teeth ❤ Not to worry what I eat is a great blessing ❤
Dear Dr Ellie I am so grateful for the information you have shared, it’s truly been life changing for me. I am in my 50’s and have always had poor oral health, super sensitive teeth, and horrible tartar buildup with receding gums. I thought I might lose my teeth. I had my mouth deep cleaned to remove the heavy calculus and I’ve been using your system since November 23 and the difference it has made to my teeth and gums and, mental health, is just amazing. This knowledge is improving every area of my life as I feel more confident about my smile and breath. I have never brushed twice a day before and always used soft toothbrushes and had bleeding gums and heavy tartar buildup and peritonitis. I now have 2 mouthwatchers toothbrushes and brush twice daily using exactly the system you recommend. I am in Australia so the only drawback is the cost of the Chylosis and ACT is very high and I am searching for local products to replace them. I just cannot thank you enough for the blessing you have given me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1. number of times for oral hygeine in a day:
take care of oral hygeine before sleeping, and after meals
2. flossing between teeth: use listerine.
3. limit sugar: not just sugar, but also limit acidic food and drinks.
sipping water will dilute helpful saliva.
4. regular cleaning: regular cleaning could be mitigated with proper care (tip: use Dr Ellie Phillip's Oral Hygeine system); helpful biofilm could be stripped during cleaning.
Second dental appointment in a row with GREAT reports. I've been on the program for over 6 months now, everything's working as stated. I am so grateful. 🙏😁
Did you go for dental cleaning anyway?
Been doing Dr. Ellie's routine now for 2.5 months.. its been miraculous. I used to have plaque build up easily, especially due to my permanent retainer bar on the bottom teeth. No matter how much i flossed and brushed.. nothing worked great until I tried her system. Thank you for sharing this info Dr Ellie!!
I had that from taking vitamin k 2 supplements. No more plaque!
My teeth were so sensitive, then I had a bridge put in and for two months the tooth under my bridge was extremely sensitive and painful. I started using Zellies mints and a modified version of the system (I know Dr Ellie won’t approve of any modifications but the Act was reacting to my teeth so I replaced with Closys at start and end of system) and no tooth pain! It’s been a miracle. I will never stop the xylitol again. Thank you Dr Ellie.
Stopping flossing and adding xylitol is not going to magic away pain at all. And if someone gets some metal framing done in their mouth which relies on adding pressure points inside your mouth that you've never had before, its sort of obvious that those parts of the mouth are going to get sore and stay sore until they get used to the new pressure/circumstances.
Go ride a bike/horse the next few days for several hours and see how many days it takes before you stop feeling aches and pains...
Not washing your feet is not going to reduce the pain, for most sane people.
For those who are hesitating to try Dr. Ellie's system I am here to report that her protocol works; I started it on Oct. 20, 2023 so half a year ago and I just had my dental appointment last week ( btw I go for check-ups once a year) and I have NO CAVITIES , my receeding gums are healing and don't bleed any longer, not to mention that my teeth are getting brighter and brighter every single day. At 58 that's something to be proud about. For newbies here, give yourself at least 3 months and If I can improve my oral health which impacts overall health anybody can so good luck 🙂
Dr. Ellie I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for educating us on this subject. 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤
Forgot to mention that during this check-up I decided not to go for scaling and so called cleaning of my teeth because as the dentist told me they look fine.
What a story! Thanks for sharing. 😁

I’ve been doing her system for almost a year due to gum recession & my gums are growing back up the teeth!! I’m so excited. They seem to grow back from the back of the teeth, then up the sides in between the teeth, and lastly up the front. One of my problem places has almost completely healed (she says to consider receding gums like a wound which is why I say heal).
Really? That is amazing. Because they always say gums dont gtow back. How do you brush. I sometimes use an electric toothbruah and sometimes a manual brushes both harder and softer but dont know whoch is best for sensitive gums.
Wow.... This is so encouraging. I have yet to see mine grow like yours. I'm really looking forward. Been doing her system for 3months now... When did u actually see results start kicking in? Do share more.
@@christinechan3902 it definitely was a slow process and took more than 6 months of diligence to see a difference. I’ll have my next teeth cleaning coming up and that will mark a year so I’ll be interested to see that the dental hygienist says. At my last one they didn’t say anything about my gums but did say that all of the vertical lines in my teeth from clenching my jaw were gone. I did not mention to them that I was trying a new mouth routine because I’m waiting to hear them say something about it first.
@@JA-vv8wy Thank you so much for your prompt reply. In one of her latest videos, I remembered Dr Ellie mentioned to regrow gums it will probably take a period of at least 6months- New Strategy. Do check it out. Well, although it was a slow process your diligence did pay off. Congrats to you that your gums have been fully restored. So proud of you. ❤️😊😍
Very soon I will go for my first dental appointment since starting Dr Ellie in July 2023. It will be one year. I used to go every THREE months! I will try to remember what you said about healing from back to front. Very interesting! I have had pockets of 4-6 for 30 years! My favorite part of her mouth care system is brushing my gums all over my mouth! I picture them healing and getting stronger every time I do and knowing I don’t have to floss. I HATED FLOSSING!
The biggest (missing) piece for me in my dental routine was knowing WHEN to brush my teeth and to eliminate snacking in between meals!! I had such terrible habits with this and my teeth suffered. Now they are doing better -slowly. Thank you Dr. Ellie!!!
I think no snacking will get me sad and depressed.

I had my mouth deep cleaned to remove the heavy calculus and I’ve been using your system since November 23 and the difference it has made to my teeth and gums and, mental health, is just amazing. This knowledge is improving every area of my life as I feel more confident about my smile and breath. I have never brushed twice a day before and always used soft toothbrushes and had bleeding gums and heavy tartar buildup and peritonitis. I now have 2 mouthwatchers toothbrushes and brush twice daily using exactly the system you recommend. I am in Australia so the only drawback is the cost of the Chylosis and ACT is very high and I am searching for local products to replace them. I just cannot thank you enough for the blessing you have given me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
House of Mouth on the Gold Coast sells Closys - they have an online shop and post it to you. I’m in NSW and order it from them. I buy Colgate Neutrfluor mouthwash as a substitute for ACT. It has the same fluoride as ACT and is sold at Coles and Chemist warehouse.
I really enjoy listening to her. She seems so enthusiastic and passionate about helping people with their mouth health. I just recently started her system (on 3rd week so far). A couple of inflamed parts of my gums are no longer inflamed and it looks like one spot where the gums were receding are now growing back. My teeth are almost always smooth and glassy feeling, even in the morning. They also look brighter. I’m looking forward to continuing to use her full system. I appreciate that it is very easy to use. Thank you Dr. Ellie!
Is there mouth wash with xylito in it.
@@nirmalareddy4079 You don't need it as the xylitol is to be used just after meals and snacks. Using the system she recommends works and follow it down to the letter.
Your comment about Listerine being better than floss got my attention. Years ago, I told my dentist that same thing, and he poo-pooed me. I was having problems flossing because of the tight spaces between my teeth. I appreciate your videos as I am hearing information I have never heard from any dentist I have seen.
There are more recent studies done to confirm this on plaque.
Extremely grateful for Dr Ellie and her dedication to dental health! Her system works! What do you have to loose by trying it? I decided to give it at least 6 months to a year.
I’ve had horrible teeth since childhood and after a bad experience with an existing crown, I was searching the internet in Oct. 2023 and found her sharing her (well researched) system and decided to try it. I just went back to my dentist and took a bottle of Zellies mints. He wrote down the information from the label, he was shocked by the whiteness and health of my teeth! Thank you, Dr. Ellie!!!😁
I am loving the CMCS! I was very skeptical at first because I only ever purchased "natural" products from the health food store. But three weeks in and my tooth pain is gone and my teeth feel so smooth and clean! Getting whiter, too. I finally have hope for my mouth. God bless you, Dr. Ellie.
I was/am the same way with natural products, even made my own toothpaste. Just started her system 3 weeks ago and a tooth that was hurting is almost completely pain free and my gums have improved immensely. Looking forward to continuing .
@@ConsidertheLilyoftheField Aren't we blessed?
Try medical grade nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste
Same for me. I really don't like the artificial ingredients and fluoride in the products, but it comes down to results and this system gets them!
@geoc1005 6 weeks in and my teeth keep getting whiter!
this lady knows what she's talkin' 'bout. since I have not figured out a way to stop eating or drinking, I simply buy her Zellies in bulk. oh btw, they are delicious
I eliminated sugars for ~3 years (did a carnivore diet) - the plague was caked on, came back as fast as I removed it. So in my experience, eliminating sugar didn't really help much at all.
Been doing the mouth care system (usually only once per day, before bed, i admit + plenty xylitol) for ~12mo now and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. No more plague at all. Gums looking healthy (horrible mess before). No more gay flossing, if there's something between my teeth I remove it (without having to bother my gums) with one of those plastic piks which looks like a small pipe cleaner.
I prayed for help to fix my teeth, found this dentist's vids shortly after - could see results almost immediately. TY Dr Ellie, forever grateful!
I also prayed and The Holy Spirit brought up her video...praise God!
@@childofthemosthigh3393 Me too.
*Thank you Jesus* ❤
@@childofthemosthigh3393 🙏🙏🙏
I tried so many different things before this(hydroxyapatite, oil pulling, charcoal, several "natural" toothpastes, no toothpaste, hydrogen peroxide, different diets, etc) nothing had more than a small impact. My dental health was really a huge mess. Already had many fillings and was facing root canals , crowns, extractions..
Some teeth my be too far gone but if you start this early enough and are consistent, you may be able to save a lot of your teeth.
It's been a miracle for me. I actually feel quite good about my teeth now which is so damn nice.
I went carnivore and the backs of my bottom incisors were awful, much worse than usual. The hygienist wasn't happy, though she did say that the pockets around my top teeth were much improved. Reading comments on other channels, I think the plaque problem could actually have been oxalate dumping! Worth investigating. Interested to find out more about this lady's teeth cleaning programme!
@@lynnatk50 That's what I was attributing it to at the time (oxalate dumping) but I was 2-3 years in (moderately strict) and still seeing it as bad as ever.
When I started doing this system, it stopped within days.. I now think it was particular bacteria causing it and when I dealt with that, it stopped.
I started Dr Ellie's program in November 2023 I've turned 6. I had receding gums and very sensitive teeth. I have noticed my gums have grown back, the sensitivity was eliminated and my teeth are whiter. I haven't been to the dentist in 12 months, but will probably check in soon so they can see the difference in the gums. I recommend her protocol highly and only wish I had started earlier.
Have your gums grown back to cover the exposed roots?
@@tanyaevett yes, they have. A dentist had put a filling along the side of the exposed root. The gum has grown up to the filling now. It's been 8 months. It's working for me.
This makes me think that few dentists see this often because people who find success with this method stop going to the dentist regularly. And if they do show up with a problem eventually, I'm sure the dentist attributes the issue to the unorthodox methods of the patient.
@@hilltopview3449hey can I remineralize my teeth if it have small tiny dot like hole
Ma'am how to use xylitol granule because in my case it doesn't show any results from past 1 months@@hilltopview3449
Dr Ellie I just want to thank you so much for helping me. You cannot get a dentist in the UK for love nor money if you move areas. And I had severe toothache and an abscess even though I brush morning and night. From that desperation I have now gone to being able to chew an ice cube within two weeks. It's something I never thought possible. Thank you so so much.
I find this video extremely educational and thank you dr Ellie for your efforts to help us
I started following your recommendations almost 3 weeks ago and I already see the improvements in my teeth. This video clarifies several questions that I had even after reading your book and watching most of your videos. Thank you once again for helping the ones who want to listen with an open mind.
I love Dr Ellies regimen! My teeth look great and feel clean.
I started Dr. Phillips' complete mouth care 5 weeks ago (March 2024) and I just had my dental cleaning a week ago. My dental hygienist was surprised that I don't have any stains on my teeth and i just started drinking coffee regularly about 3 weeks ago. On top of that, I had two back bottom teeth under cavity watch from my last dental (8 mo ago) cleaning and guess what... my dentist removed my cavity watch. Oh man oh man was I happy and shocked about that?!?! I couldn't believe it and I just had to share my experience. I told them I started taking xylitol (Zellie's mints) and mouth care system routine and they were surprised I knew about it and my hygienist was so happy that I've been taking xylitol and know about the importance of pH level in our mouth. She even said if you're taking xylitol regularly then you don't need flouride treatment on every visit. She was so proud of me.
I just want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, Dr. Phillips for sharing your advice, knowledge and experience! Your mouth care system is what I've been searching for!
I go in 2 weeks for my 6 months cleaning. I started your program 6 months ago. I hope I hear good results 😊
Update us
@kathy.7475 packets were the same, had 2 new ones. I did it verbatim. Going back to water pil
How did it go?
How did your appointment go?
@@azwife1715 update??
I began using your system several months ago after seeing your videos. When I try something I go all in, exactly, so I can never second-guess myself by saying I followed it 90% of the way. Nope, all in. So I did that but left out a key element, the xylitol. I had some mints that have xylitol but what if it wasn't enough? So I ordered two flavors of Zellies from Amazon and have begun using them several times thoughout the day. That did the trick! My teeth have become uniform in color and I have far less dark stuff come out when I spit out the Listerine. That's a real eye-opener when you use the Listerine!! What comes out!! I'm scheduled for my next dental cleaning on August 1st and cannot wait to hear what my hygienist has to say. I'll absolutely report back!!
Thank you Dr Phillips - you are a God-send!!
We are just about the same. I started her system end of July 2023 and I am going to a new dentist in July 2024. Get this, my dentist of 15 years ( which is a big office), said it is their policy if I don’t get my teeth cleaned twice a year I cant be patient there. So NOW I have a new dentist. I have been going to a dentist every three months for over 30 years and still had pockets of 4-6. What do they say about doing it over and over and expecting a different result? Well I can’t wait for this exam! And I too am 100% all into Dr. Ellie’s protocol.😉. I love how healthy my mouth feels now.
@@francineclave2207Wow, that's really something! Clearly your dentist sees you as a commodity bringing money into his office and not a human in need of real care. Such an abhorrent policy! This is very similar to other allopathic requirements that do nothing for our health and only hurt us. Glad you are seeking out a new dentist. Best wishes to you.
How did the dental appointment go?
@@francineclave2207How did the dental appointment go?
@@CAC-1111 While she was impressed with how clean my teeth were, I still had issues between my teeth. That tells me that either I need to floss (which Dr Ellie says to not do) or something else. My hygienist suggested those little dental flosser things that look like a Christmas tree to go between the teeth prior to brushing. So that's what I've been doing. I'm still using the entire System but am using those little things. Now I wait 'til mid-February for my next cleaning. I still like the results I'm getting - zero sensitivity, thank God!!
I started Nov 2024 and can see the difference! It's always good to review. Thanks, Dr. Ellie!
Thank you for all this priceless information. It is greatly helpful.
Dr. Ella, I really love you. You are a wonderful and caring person. I have been using your complete method and it is working. My gums are building up beautifully. My partials have to be readjusted. Thank you so very very much ❤️🌷🌻🌺🌸🌹🤩😀😃🌼💐😍😘
@teach good to hear that I am not the only one who benefits from Dr. Ellie's protocol LOL cheers my dear.😊
Ive only just started and mine feel better already THANK YOU MAME🙏
Im 71. started Dr Ellie's system 14 months ago, not had a problem since, my teeth are whiter than ever in my life by far! this system is wonderful. and helps thousands of people have better teeth - and I dont know any other system that does
Thank you Dr. Ellie for sharing your priceless wisdom when it comes to oral health!
Myself, husband, 12 yo son, and 72 yo mom have been using Dr. Ellies complete mouthcare system since February 2024. The results speak for themselves. It works. Period. We will never stop using her system as our mouths have never felt so healthy. I just reordered all the supplies so we didn't run out! Thank you, Ellie, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Update: my husband went in for his routine cleaning and exam in May. His dentist was so impressed with his positive change in gum health that he stopped during the exam and rechecked his notes because he thought he looked at a different patients chart! He asked who the dentist was and what was her protocol because he wanted to learn how this type of healing could be possible in such a short amount of time with OTC products.
UPDATE #2: went in for my routine 6mo cleaning and exam. Back in February I was told I had 5 cavities that required filling and I needed a deep cleaning in one upper quadrant with 5mm pockets. My perio chart was done and it was all 3's, 4, and two 5mm pockets. The treatment totaled 2k for all the needed dental work. I didn't schedule the appointment for the dental work but rather, I immediately started Dr. Ellie's complete mouthcare system 1 week after that horrendous appointment with hopes it would reverse the damage in my mouth. I'm proud to say I used her precise strategies for 6 straight months and went in for my next check-up and cleaning. The dentist was shocked that all 5 of the cavities were GONE! The hygienist re took my perio chart measurements and all my pockets were 2mm except for two that now measured 3mm. So thank you Dr. Ellie!! In my case as well as my husband, we had a complete resolution of the serious dental issues we were experiencing and will never stop using her Complete mouthcare system.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for sharing your valuable advice on caring for teeth!❤ I SO needed to hear this from a professional! Much respect 🙏💐
My wife and I have been using your system for a little over 2 months now. Our teeth are definitely feeling smoother. My wife's teeth are white (she used to use whitening gels from the dentist) so no change. My teeth have always been yellow, especially over the last ten years or so. I'm hoping that the system will get them whiter. My back teeth have always been far whiter so I'm hoping over time that my front teeth will become more uniformly white or white-ish. We are using Xylitol after every drink of liquid, meal, or workout (mouth feeling dry). Neither of us had gum disease before starting your system. I do feel like my teeth are a little more sensitive (since using the system) and my gums feel a little raw sometimes. I have always flossed daily and since stopping I only floss a little if there is something caught in between my teeth. But now my gums bleed easily. Interested in how this will evolve. My wife is about to have her 6 month dental checkup/cleaning and we are eager to see what the dentist will find. My check-up will be 3 months from now. Sticking to the system! So, my question is, if the hygienist sees plaque should they remove it? Also, should we allow the hygienist to polish our teeth? Or should we skip that? Does that process remove building enamel? Thanks in advance!
Hi, Unfortunately I have the same side effects of the system.
I feel that my gums are healthier using this system, however my teeth seem to have a darker tinge to them. I’ve always been a tea drinker and not sure why this is happening.
Hi. I had severe tooth decay, and my gums were unhealthy. Went to the dentist to fix my issues and 2 tooth extractions, 4 crowns and an ongoing implant later, I found out that the healing wasn't as easy as I anticipated. The dentist wanted me to use listerine mouth wash, but not too excessively because it could impead healing. When I complained about pain in the gums socket, I was given a prescription mouth wash with an applicator to flush out debris and help disinfect. But again, the warning was that over use could actually stop the healing process. You may have to cut back on the listerine a bit. Don't brush your gums so hard or long. And see your dentist about your gums. They might be able to recommend something.
By the way, I started using Dr Ellie Philips routine after the dentist finished most of the dental work, and my gums are more healthy. The hardest part is not drinking between meals.
Are you using the Mouthwashwers toothbrushes she recommends?
They are amazing.
I stopped using my Sonicare and use them instead.
It's like a massage for your gums. ☺
@@traceya9039 Yep, we only use the products that she advises.
One day, dentists will listen and adopt what Dr. Ellie has been teaching. I wish we grown ups could go back in time to avoid a lot of the damage caused by dentistry. I hope my grandchildren can benefit from these approaches, along with other young people. Seems like our bodies have a lot of sense, if we could just stay out of the way better.
No, they won't.
It wont happen without some big changes, the entire healthcare industry in the US is designed for profit. Why tell you how to take care of your teeth properly when they make money every time you come in?
The internet and social media allow people like Dr Phillips to break through to the masses. If enough people get educated then something can change.
This spans across most topics, not just oral care. She reminds me of Martin Riese who educates people on drinking water and how purified water is a waste of money.
I truly wonder what other ares of life have a Martin or Ellie with life changing information.
This plus Mewing for good strong jawline (maybe just cut down on the need to chew hard gum) I have wide smile and strong jaw due to eating whole foods from young (though not perfect one crooked tooth at one side behind ) I believe we need to chew more to develop jaw space so we won't have crooked teeth. The habit of chew more vegetables and fruits instead of drinking it as juice (I only drink blended frozen strawberries with milk no added sugars as a morning treat as fresh strawberries are expensive) the rest are via eating and nose breathing as a habit
No they won’t. They would be out of business. They need ur oral hygiene to be poor so they can continue making their money 💰
I wish I had found you sooner dr ellie, but I'm still young and I will have good teeth decades to come thanks to you, ❤
I tried her system! It works!!
I've been using your method for a couple weeks. So far, I'm still waiting to see results, but for sure the breath is amazing specially in the morning . I was also flossing, right when you recommend it, if we decide to do it. I needed to floss, but after a few days I realized there's no need! I hope I re-mineralize and whiten my teeth and heal my receding gums. I'm being very diligent and doing everything you suggested. Thank you Dr. Ellies
I used to never have to floss until a dentist dug out my silver fillings for white ones and chipped my back teeth. Forever since then debris/food gets stuck between no matte how much I brush or rinse. I'm flossing those teeth after brushing and before Listerine.
Yeah, I'm with you I still have a lot of food in my teeth post brushing and rinsing. I just try to be gentle
Have you all tried oil pulling? I saw this ladies video recently and maybe this can be helpful in remineralizing your teeth to close the hole. th-cam.com/video/trvMgLQEnYw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z_I5ar6792cp0PSB
Hi Dr. Phillips, have you heard of the Matador Flatpak toiletry bag? It's made of a breathable material that allows water inside to evaporate through it. I use their bar soap bag and the soap is always dry the next day! I thought it would be cool if you tried it out, maybe it'd be something you could recommend to travellers to improve the conditions of their toothbrushes while on the road.
Thanks!
Started using the system with products I bought (expensively) in the UK, on Amazon or eBay. Today just received a package from my sister in America. The products are so much cheaper there!
My teeth feel so clean ❤❤❤
Hey. I just stumbled upon your channel and found myself watching ALL off your videos. I feel empowered and enlightened. I'm 28 years old and a new mother to an almost 2 year old little girl. I feel so thankful that I found your channel and all of your insanely mind blowing information that I can pass along to my daughter.
Unfortunately, I had not been doing the correct things (your methods) for my entire life. I thought i had great oral hygiene, but my gums continue to recede and I haven't been to the dentist in 5 years. Additionally, I take a low dose of stimulants to treat my executive functioning issues. I've tried going without, and Im just not able to function in this fast-paced world of individualistic living.. I simply can't keep up. So the medication is a must, for now. Im aware of the effects stimulants have on oral health (raising the ph of saliva, dry mouth, etc) and I do practice correct tongue posture and NEVER mouth breath.
I'm anxious to know if I can continue to take my medication without if affecting my teeth/gums in detrimental ways. What would you recommend I do additionally to counter the effects of stims or is your method enough to counter those effects? Thank you so much for spreading this knowledge. People like you are why i'm grateful the internet exists!
Along with the affirmative approach of using a few products that work together, I so appreciate that none of Dr Phillips lessons are judgmental or what didn't happen. It is refreshing to just start where the patient is & keep moving. The 'Bad Dog' stigma some dental staff deliver is a debilitating choke chain of shame--so counter productive. This protocol w/ my teeth has sparked my own sense of connection in general. TY.
I believe dentists do that to push the responsibility back onto you because they do not know how to heal you. Maybe on a subconscious level they know that and that they are just using you as a tool to make money. Blaming you is a way of making them feel better about themselves.
Excellent video, wonderful advise, lovely dr. Ellie, but the restaurant music in the background … arrghh 🤕😮💨
@dr.elliephillips Hi Dr Phillips. I work outside in the desert heat and the tropic. (Florida, Texas and Nevada). I really have to sip (chug) water many times constantly throughout the day. Is the solution to just take a mint each time? Or, can I make a xylitol water? mix the powder in a gallon of water or something...?
Honestly , I would not purposely swallow xylitol . Chew the gum to get the xylitol “juices“ onto the teeth for the benefit but then try to spit out the accumulation of saliva that’s mixed with xylitol after a few minutes . Xylitol is harmful to the liver , kidneys and health over time . Look it up. Good for teeth but not something I would eat or cook with .
I’d also like to know the answer. Definitely cannot take a mint each time because that’s too much xylitol intake.
What other methods are you using to clean between your teeth? (6:52) Is the toothbrush you recommend the Record V that's on Amazon because the other tooth brushes on Amazon, under your products to use, say extra soft. On this video you say that you don't actually recommend a very soft toothbrush.
The weird thing is that her favorite best toothbrushes, Dr. Plotka's Mouthwatchers brushes, are actually medium-firm, even though they call them soft or extra-soft. She said you can't go by why the manufacturers call them, because they aren't being truthful. Since most people think they need to be using soft brushes, the manufacturers want to call them what they think people want to hear! But the Mouthwatchers brushes are the correct ones, no matter what they call them. I do remember her saying the Record V was another good option, but her fave is Mouthwatchers.
Forgot to say, the Listerine step in the Complete Mouth Care System is what she calls the "liquid flosser". She says it can get between the teeth to clean better than any string floss ever could. (It is to be swished very vigorously for 30-45 seconds, but only as part of the CMCS, never by itself.)
I have been following Dr Phillips teeth cleaning method for about 6 months with one exception. I tried not flossing but found my gums started bleeding, so now I floss as first step and then continue with rest of the steps before going to bed.
3:22 why mint over gum?
It works! At the beginning I felt my mouth got dry but got better after few months
In Germany, Listerine cool mint is very easy to find. For xylitol, I can find the pure sugar for cooking. I found one kind of gum with 69% of xylitol.
Xylit gibt es im Bioladen oder online bei „Birkengold“🙋♀️

I just watched this super helpful video. I do the regimen, but have not done the xylitol mints right after the fluoride rinse… -right before sleep. I thought the fluoride rinse was supposed to have time to sit on my teeth for awhile.
So, can I safely say, xylitol mints do not disrupt? interrupt? the fluoride rinse process?
~OR, Do I still need time in between the two? ('Like 30 minutes?) I appreciate any feedback. 🙏
Your videos are so interesting, thanks. I haven’t been to a dentist for 17 years having previously bought into the system sold to me from an early age. Our wonderful body is capable of looking after us if we feed it well 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
It would be great if you could ask whether or not you need a dental cleaning and get an honest answer. I somehow think you would always be told you do, because when it comes right down to it, you are dealing with a business whose aim is to make money. And what business is going to turn away revenue.
Really I cannot even envision a dental hygienist telling you that you don’t need it. Mine told me to come every 4 months, so 3 times per year. She knew I really care for my teeth and would come, now I question if there was a real need. I moved and went to a different hygienist and she said “you almost don’t have anything to scrape off”
Im grateful to find your channel by chance very helpful information thank you very much ❤
Her system: chew xylotil gum (zellies) between meals. When brushing teeth: 1/ Gargle with Closys 2/Brush with crest anticavity protection toothpaste 3/ Gargle with Gold listerine 4/Gargle with Sensodyne fluoride mouthwash.
Wrong. You don't gargle with anything. You bathe the teeth with Closys. You swish through the teeth with the Listerine and you swish with ACT, not Sensodyne. Nothing is to be gargled at the back of your throat. Where did you get this information about gargling and about Sensodyne?
4 not Sensodyne but ACT mouthwash
Have someone ever noticed there translusent teeth got enamel back after using xylitol long term? Some times when i look in the mirror does it look like the enamel comes back, but i'm not sure if it's just an illusion. Can someone tell me what's going on?
Hi Dr. Thank you for sharing your superb knowledge, I just started your system of cleaning my teeth, but I couldn’t find the xylitol and closys I just have the toothpaste and listerine is there any substitute on the product? I live in Alberta Canada. Thank you and God Bless!
Thank you, Dr. Ellie 🙏🏻 Your system is working well for me although I have only just started. Will the tea/coffee stains also go at some point or will I have to have my teeth cleaned at the dentist for that? Thank you!
Hi Dr. Phillips, I'm still nervous about using Listerine. Is it ok to replace Listerine with a xylitol solution instead? Listerine and xylitol kill the same bacteria, right?
9:17 How can you tell if dairy IS breaking down and forming the fermentable lactic acid you mention?
Your skin is glowing! You are beautiful! Do you have a skin care for sale?
Dr Ellie, what do you think of disclosing tablets to track the effectiveness of our tooth brushing?
I bought xylitol powder and holding it in my mouth for 10 minutes when at home. I use zellies when away from
home. Is that ok?
Yes
There’s not way to ask a dentist: “ do I need a cleaning ? “ obviously the Doctor will say: yes “you need it every six months”
That’s their business 😂
lol- If you get glowing reviews, eventually you have a case for yearly, then 2, 3yrs…
My OLD dental office said when I postponed my “cleaning” if I don’t get my teeth cleaned twice a year I can’t be a patient there. I now have new dentist and they are very excited to have me and see what’s what. There are good dentists!
The problem about sipping water is that we just dont drink enough. Half your body wt. In ounces is what we need every day. Chronic dehydration sneaks up and causes kidney stones, advanced aging and inreases body inflammation and toxification. So this is a problem. Whats the missing link between this protocol and physical health /body organs that struggle? Got to be something more than this.
By all means get all the hydration you need just try not to stretch it out by slow sipping it throughout the day. Have your 8 oz glass shots and then chase it with xylitol mints.
@@stephenfeldman8104 yeah I've done that but I'd need a ton of xylitol and it got to be pricey. Plus I'm not sure if all that xylitol has a bad effect after a while too. I have to research that.
kidneys do all the regulating . ....i think too much water wears them out with overwork
A straw?
Thank you for your videos!
I am experiencing these brown spots on my teeth after a few months following the protocol. Looks like someone painted a brush stroke of coffee color here and there. Especially between my teeth where I used to floss. My teeth feel fine though. Much less sensitive and no bleeding gums. Would be reassuring if there was a video that explains side effects to expect when following the protocol.
This stuff works. Best Dentist in the country
SO what is the process of mineralization and what exactly is the mineralization. What's the mineral transport mechanism in saliva.
So happy you asked....

Flouride in act mouthwash and crest cavity protection toothpaste are okay? Cause i watched videos where some doctors say the flouride in mouthwash and toothpaste causes high blood pressure and heart disease. Please clarify dr. Ellie. .my family started using this system for a month now.
Did you notice she has more videos about her full system? The exposure to fluoride and such are carefully controlled, and limited in time. I'm a certified health nut here, but I follow her system and remain healthy. If you suffer from circulatory or heart problems of course you should pay attention to your readings and symptoms, but also pay attention to how the system is described.
i saw the video you mention from a certain dentist who gave Dr Ellie no right of reply. In my opinion the link to high blood pressure from a mouthwash is ridiculous unless you are drinking it instead of spitting it out.
@@Pinkpandacoat Information problems usually begin with unscientific "studies".
In this case a "study" looked at the effect of prescription strength antiseptic and very strong concentration of Chlorhexidine - but simply referred to it as "mouthwash".
The shocking idea was picked up by the Media and without looking deeper they went on to suggest that Listerine was a problem. What a mess.
The only "mouth wash" that we should worry about to cause BP and breathing issues - is protracted use of prescription strength Chlorhexidine.
Some years ago another unscientific "study" reported a link between mouthwash and diabetes.
In this one the "so-called-researchers" failed to recognize that the self-reporting about the use of unspecified "mouthwash" was from obese individuals with chronic periodontal disease ( both high risk factors for diabetes).
The study findings were questioned in a paper by Periodontal Researcher and Dean of the University of Dundee - Philip Preshaw....but still the myth of all this swirls on the Internet. Dr. Preshaw gave a gracious assessment saying that "methodological limitations in the study bring into question the generalisability of the findings".....
so yes, it's hard to know "scientific" truth - if you separate it from long-term observational clinical experience.
@@dr.elliephillips Hi, I did a pH test comparing xylitol and brown sugar and both are pH 7 (alcaline). And brown sugar causes cavities even though is alcaline, I am scared of using brown sugar or xylitol I have periodontal disease and bought your book already =), but still scared of xylitol.

What's the .5 percent fluoride you recommend I swish with. I've been doing the xylitol thing for like 3 weeks. I have a cavity on a bottom tooth. Can't afford the dentist right now so this is my wing and a prayer thing. You really, really, really seem like you're super nice. I really hope this works. If only to build a stronger tooth before I go and get this filled. Thank you for your videos.
Cavity removal costs a lot less than root canal go to the denist immediately and get it sorted ....if you cant afford it now you sure as hell cant afford whats coming if you dont deal with it.
THANK YOU DOCTOR ❤
Ma'am for initial use can I start your system with xylitol after that crest toothpaste and ending with ACT mouthwash
.....
I don't believe anybody on earth at your age has such beautiful teeth. You are the object lesson of your ideas that you preach.
You need not say, American Dental Association ia advocating xylitol ( after all I doubt if they have any real good intentions for mankind).
What you say and you preaxh as a person is good enough and sufficient enough.
Why do you recommend a xylitol mint rather than gum before bed? I avoid the mints due to Magnesium Stearate in the mints.
Because you're going to be going to sleep. You can't chew gum but you can. suck on a mint
I find much good advice here but not the elimination of flossing. I have teeth with mal-occlusions which trap food particles which ONLY flossing is able to dislodge. I hope you will agree that leaving food particles between the teeth no matter what additional techniques are used will have negative results. 7:56
As an oral cancer survivor I kindly ask that you please advise people to still see their dentist at least annually for oral exams even if not getting a cleaning. It is important to check oral health, especially as a screening for oral cancer even before symptoms are detected. I was a non-smoker, no HPV detected, yet a very small peduncular lesion was seen on my lateral tongue and found to be stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma, surgically cured by a partial glossectomy and a modified radical neck dissection to remove lymph nodes. 21 negative lymph nodes was the best -0- on a test I ever received and now I just endure annual surveillance checks with my ENT going on 20 years…we will grow old together!
Visiting the dentist once a year is Good advise. My dad had tongue cancer and I know how hard it was for him. I agree and plan to get checked once a year for that very reason.
She has said this more explicitly in other videos to go for the annual exam, xrays and what not.. this vid it is implied where in at the time is when you'd ask the question, 'do i need a cleaning?'
I wish I could find a dentist who would do this. None here wants to see me if I don’t do a cleaning plus all crazy x rays. They say they NEED this to see me and evaluate. A bunch of bs but literally every dentist demands this.
Thank you for this information!
I have used your system for over 8 months now. The sensitivity in my Lower right jaw is almost completely gone and I think I am regrowing gum around some teeth. Those results are fantastic. But I also now have brown stains in between my teeth. I am so worried. I looked it up and I see this can happen to some people with ACT. What can I do? Does that mean I need to stop using it?
Same, I think it’s the remineralization process. In one of her videos, she explained about scabbing of bacteria/caries with teeth repairing underneath. Wish she would explain this more in her videos.
yes its the plaque die-off. Keep going with the system and it will go. Or go for a clean at the hygenist who can remove it.
@tracychallis are you drinking coffee with fat ? like butter or tallow ? This would cause brown stains.
@@jackiewatts9115I wish I could find this. It seems like it is getting worse.
Dear doctor Ellie, after struggling for weeks to find your recommanded products NOT available in France, I finally got some of them from the States or England for very high prices. But paying 80€ shipping for Act is really getting too much for me!
Now I finally found what I think is an equivalence to Act, which is called DENTAID mouth wash, which contains sodium fluoride 0.05%, PH 6.1, Xylitol, no alcool, no ethanol, no color!
Could you please tell me if this sounds correct to you?
I know you recommend to use all the products for results, but until now, before finding this product I'm expecting these days, I did everything except the Act in the end, and I already have good results!!!
I'm ever so grateful to you, and listen to all your podcasts on TH-cam!
As soon as you answer me, I will tell everyone around here in France and Holland where I originally come from.
And please let us all know when these products will be available in Europe, ( we have Listerine cool Mint, that's all ) which will make it much more affordable for us !!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion 🙏
Take care,
Caroline
Bonjour. Pouvez vous me donnez le nom des produits équivalent en France pour mettre en place le protocole du dr Ellis. Merci 🙏
Ma'am I'm using your crest toothpaste and also maintaining healthy lifestyle
The only one thing I want to know that there is mild stains in between my teeth very mild I guess it happens because my enamel is weak so if I strengthen the enamel by chance so will the mild stains go by itself or not
Pls reply it will be very helpful ❤
I also really want to have a nice "complete mouth care system", these videos motivate me. But after checking out what she recommends, I feel disappointed. I don't want to use products with fluoride, put alcohol in my mouth etc. I'm all about organic and natural options. I wish Dr. Phillips would give alternative options. If I recall correctly, in her complete mouth care video she explained that, yes, there are ingredients in the products she promotes that she isn't happy about, but to still use them.
Why doesn't Dr. Phillips make her own stuff like she did with the zellies ?
And yes I read all of the countless positive reviews. I just don't want to put certain things near or in my body.
I chew Xylitol gum and I tape my mouth shut with medical tape when I sleep so that my oral cavity doesn't dry out. These things are great already.
Oh my goodness I feel the same way you do!! Yes!!!
Hey Dr....I use xylitol in my coffee as a sweetener...would that have the same effect on teeth?
No. Dr. Ellie says to not dilute xylitol in any food or liquid, or it will be way, way less effective. Use it plain, all by itself in the mouth.
Dr, good talk, but you shocked me when you said you don't floss !! I feel it's the best thing I've ever done to my teeth, and i have been doing it since I was a kid,and I never feel comofrtable not doing it before sleeping.
My one problem with not flossing is that mouthwash doesn't seem to remove all food matter from in between my teeth. I've been trying to floss less based on your recommendations, but I feel it's still necessary. So when I floss, my focus is more on dislodging food bits rather than "cleaning" in between them. I rely on mouth wash for the rest. Does anyone have any advice for me in this regard?
if there's food stuck in between your teeth then you must take it out, no matter what method you use. I think dr ellie's point about flossing to take out plague is not needed if you follow her mouthcare system.
I use a waterfloss on my normal teeth and string floss on my impacted wisdom tooth(nasty shit to deal with)
in short, it depends on your personal situation really, letting food rot in between your teeth is not ok no matter who tells you its ok.
I have to get the debris out with floss too. Not everyone is the same so some of us have to do this. She recommends using the floss after brushing your teeth while you still have toothpaste in the mouth. Then use the mouthwashes.
@@runae7368 thanks for that tip.
Also if you're concerned about your gums, just don't bring the floss all the way up to the gum line and be gentle. I have a couple of spots between my teeth that collect food and always have to floss those areas.
Dr Ellie does say in another video that you can use floss or interdental brush to remove food remains and if you need to do that to do it right after brushing while there is still toothpaste in your mouth 👍🏻
(J) hi Dr. Ellie, something came across my viewing feeds about using mouthwash. Showing that a significant amount of nitric oxide(NO) is made by the bacteria living in our mouth. And people with vascular and respiratory issues should be careful of which mouthwash if any to use. And I can say for myself, when I correlate the time starting the protocol my asthma issues rose. What are your thoughts, because it is another dentist that has brought the nitric oxide issue to light for me. Thank you
I started following the program and after a month noticed that Listerine and ACT stains my teeth. I can use an electrical brush or miswak, the wooden stick to remove or lighten the stain. A regular brush does not remove the stain (usually near the gum line and it between teeth). The moment I user Listerine and ACT after removing the stain, I can see the staining is back. Was wondering if I'm doing anything wrong or something is up. My teeth feel smooth, good and clean but if you look closely you see dark stains that make them ugly.
I follow the recommended steps: CloSys Wash, Crest paste, Original Listerine, ACT Anticavity.
My wife (have to point) doing the same steps and program and her teeth do not get stained!
That staining is sticky dead plaque bacteria that you likely were not brushing hard enough to remove, or else you did not have the Mouthwatchers toothbrushes that are up to this job. Here is what Dr. Ellie said about this elsewhere:
"Teeth staining: “Good stains” are seen on teeth when dental disease has been rapidly controlled, when the remnants of thick plaque and harmful bacteria die off quickly. The debris collects around the tooth, often looking like a dark stain at the gum line. This stain is the sign of improved oral health, less bleeding, and a healthier mouth and gums. A dental cleaning will quickly remove this kind of staining and leave the healthier teeth pristine and white.
If you do not have a cleaning within a couple of months of starting the complete system, the sudden improvement in your oral health may result in a thin band of stain forming around the edges of your teeth at the gum line. This staining is not a problem, is not permanent, and is not at all unhealthy. This stain is dead plaque debris that has shriveled up and formed a hair-like deposit around the edge of your teeth. One cleaning at the dentist will remove this band of debris.
Ways to address:
1. Are you using the Mouthwatchers brushes that I recommend? You must get away from fear of brushing too hard. It's not true and you will not do damage by brushing - you will get rid of these stains!
2. Do you let your brushes dry for 24 hours between uses? (and have 2 brushes - one for AM and one for PM.) Never soak them in anything or they will get too soft.
3. Are you brushing this area of your mouth where you are seeing the stains? Aim at these areas first, when you have the most toothpaste on your brush, and before you do the gum massage, etc - this is almost always superficial debris that just takes a bit more work to remove.
4. Are you using the system 2x daily? You will get staining if more plaque forms on teeth every 12 hours during the first months - before the oral bacteria have been balanced. In the future you may be able to skip a time or two - but not in the first months.
5. Do you stop eating and drinking completely - not even water - after the xylitol at the end of meals? This allows the new healthy protective biofilm to form, and it is this biofilm that will stop your teeth from accumulation of this debris. You may also want to have a Zellies mint last thing at night before sleeping.
6. This stain is not a health problem - just no one likes a dark stain. But it is superficial debris and will brush off; just use a bit more toothpaste and some more energy on these areas.
7. IF this extra energy and toothpaste trick is NOT ENOUGH to get rid of the stain - then you are going to make a special paste for yourself - Exfoliating paste: Mix together half a teaspoon of granular xylitol with a big squeeze of the Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste. Use this exfoliating toothpaste mixture - aim at the stains first thing every morning (not during the system.…but as you get out of bed in the morning). Just target these stains with this mixture of xylitol crystals + toothpaste. In 3-4 days the staining should have disappeared completely. Then you do not need to keep using this mixture; you can go back to the normal paste as a part of the system.”
Ma'am is that possible to cure small crack in teeth? Does remineralization help for this problem?
8:42 i zoomed in and i don't see any gums there, are there any gums left ?
I used to make my own xylitol mouth rinse, which was great, then I heard about salt water. I've been using a concoction of 1 cup water + 1 tsp pink salt (just a sip, of course) every night after cleaning my teeth (before bed). The pink salt has minerals in it. I've been using it for a year & it seems to be working okay. Does Dr. Ellie have an opinion on this?
Chew gum cause IBS excess air - I dilute the Xylitol with water and use it as mouthwash three to five days daily - any suggestions if this method will have any benefits?
Please tell us what we can use in Germany instead of ACT. Thanx in advance ☺️
Was benutzt du denn anstelle von Closys?
@@hannahoriginal4698 Closys ist bei Amazone erhältlich, aber du kannst es auch durch die ultraDEX Mundspülung ersetzten, wenn du möchtest.
SORRY TO SAY THIS PROTOCOL DID NOT WORK AFTER ALL. I wish with all my heart it had. Back to cleanings and flossing. Still doing xylitol and gum brushing. It was flossing that started me thinking after 30 years why aren’t my pockets ever getting better? I thought, isn’t flossing pushing debris deeper into my gums? I learned about Dr. Ellie’s system in July 2023 and it made so much sense I put it right into practice. In two more months it will be a year and I am going to a new dentist to get my teeth and gums examined (not cleaned!!!!). My teeth feel so smooth now and I have had no gum bleeding at all. I can’t wait to see what they say! It’s not about the money…. It’s about my health!
What did you do?
@@morespinach9832 I watched Dr Ellie’s videos starting last year in late July, not so many of them were out back then. What she said made SENSE. I bought her Oral Boot Camp teachings series for $99. watched them and then started doing what she taught. In late May (as a way of independent testing) I took an oral micro biome saliva test with a lab called Bristle. I was thrilled with my results. Now it’s off to my new dentist for my current pocketing numbers in August. Super excited for those too. Ohhh and don’t forget xylitol!
Your title says it didn’t work at all but your explanation says it worked? Which is it?
@@vijidurvasula7744 sorry you are right I wasn’t clear. After one year on Dr Ellies program I went to a new dentist with my dental records in hand. I had new x-rays taken and periodontal probing was done to see how much my pockets had healed. Unfortunately, they had not improved at all and I had even acquired a new six deep pocket. Because my teeth felt so clean, and my breath was good I thought for sure her system was working. Unfortunately, for me, it did not. My plan of attack now is working with my new dental hygienist, brushing twice a day, flossing, water flossing, nanohydroxy tooth paste and a xylitol mouth rinse “Risewell”and then retest my oral Microbiome with a company called Bristle about three more months, I was watching another oral doctor on TH-cam and their recommendation was to “test not guess”, so that’s the direction I am going.
@@vijidurvasula7744 exactly
Greetings from the Netherlands Dr. Ellie! So glad to have found you channel and looking forward to start your mouth system soon. I just ordered from Amazon US.
In the meantime, I’ve been looking for alternatives here in Europe.
Can this be an alternative of ACT anticaries? I found this one from Dentaid, Fluor Aid with 0.05% Sodium chloride and Xylitol. No alcohol.
Here are the ingredients list:
Water, sorbitol, glycerin, propylene glycol, xylitol, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, sodium benzoate (sodium benzoate), sodium methyl parahydroxybenzoate (sodium methyl paraben), sodium fluoride, sodium saccharinate (sodium saccharinate), citric acid, mint flavor.
I would highly appreciate a response. Thank you in advance!
I have been doing Dr Ellie Phillips full routine for about 30 days now. A strange thing happened to me I had a filling on top of a my canine teeth just near the gum line. Yesterday the filling fell off which makes me concerned that Dr. Phillips protocol is so harsh to my teeth is it doing to do any damage if it removes fillings? Also, not sure if I should go back to get the new filling or just go through the protocol to se if the tooth will naturally heal. I wish there was a way to do a consult with her.
You should get your filling fixed. Don't leave a hole in your tooth for bad bacteria to hide in.
@@runae7368 I think Dr. Phillips protocol breaks down fillings.
Replace the filling
