I have used Zellie's Xylitol Mints also I use Xylitol Mints by Spry as well as their Gum. 😊 My only concern: even a plant base sweetener can cause a fungus over growth, is my understanding. I have been using a mint everynight as I lay to sleep for some year's now. 😊
I started using this system about 4 months ago - and it has totally changed my mouth in the best way. My teeth feel smoother, plaque is nearly gone, and my gums don't ache anymore. I've added a simplified method (using the toothpaste, ACT mouthwash, and xylitol mints) to my 15 year old's routine and he says his teeth feel smoother and at his last dental visit the dentist commented that his teeth look really good. I'm very impressed with the results. Thank You! : )
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’ve been very skeptical because of some of the products but I do plan to give it a try for six months. Posts like yours give me encouragement.
Hi Dr. Ellie ! I have been using your complete mouth care system for over 3 months now. This has drastically improve my halitosis. Lately after brushing my teeth with toothpaste I noticed there’s slight blood when I spit it out. What can be possibly wrong. Pls. i need your advice. Thank you. 😀
I wish I had seen this 60 years ago (when I was 5) because this is the most useful information about my teeth health I've ever known. Thank you, Doctor.
Me too. Also wish my parents had known all this back then before having kids. My teeth have NEVER, EVER been healthy, I do not even have a single memory of myself with healthy teeth. When you are a child, you do not give a damn about teeth, you just play around. It is the parents who need to be aware of all these things and show the children how to take care of their teeth. And if something occurs, it is them who need to act on it as soon as possible before the damage is so big that the child will suffer the consequences all its life knowing it could have been prevented in time. I feel like I am patching up patches with another patches and my teeth will never look and feel healthy ever again.
@@SimonJaimieI agree. Parents need to check for kids teeth. Like yours our parents did the same did not saw it useful to take the children o the dentist u til we were already out school having tooth issues. My parents too never care for their teeth when they got older we had to take them to dentist for gum issues etc. All this could have been avoided but for my parents according to them they had no guidance themselves when it came to teeth for my grandparents. It's a true saying "you can't pick your family you can only look at the deficiencies and try to do better for yourself.
These videos are so helpful. I spent years listening to my dentist dispensing ultimately flawed and uninformed nonsense. I could have saved myself thousands of dollars had I known this as a young man. To those complaining about these videos being too long: this is a you problem. You clicked on a 20-minute video, presumably because you wanted to learn something about your teeth. Learning isn't done by reading headlines. If you don't have the attention span to learn how and why something works (or doesn't), then you're unlikely to have the attention span to fix the problem.
Dentists are corrupt in giving false information for profit. Been going on for decades. No money in promoting Xylitol, destructive sugar and damaging "cleaning" makes for rich dentists
It's 10 minute video with 2x speed and I am not even a native speaker. And you can do other stuff while listening to it. No need to see her while she speaks
I had horrific super plaque that is hereditary. One week after a dental cleaning I had plaque all over my front bottom teeth. It looked gross. No matter how much I brushed and flossed plaque would reappear almost overnight. I have been using Dr Ellie’s complete routine at night for two weeks with the Zellie’s during day time. I don’t have any plaque and my teeth feel stronger with the gums hugging my teeth better. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie!!!!!
You have a gut and mouth bacteria imbalance. Also most likely a dry mouth. Look into probiotics for mouth and gut. Change to a gut friendly diet. Use xylitol after meals to increase your saliva.
Same thing happened with me! I’ll always continue Dr. Ellie’s recommended dental care system. Her book “Kiss your dentist goodbye” is an excellent read and so informative!
Has anyone had any tooth staining as a result of the mouthwashes? I know that this can be a side effect of these mouthwashes and concerned about how often this occurs. It makes me afraid to try the system.
Yea my teeth arnt in great shape. I've just started using most of this info that she's taking about. I started last week but I've noticed my teeth becoming sensitive I think it is. Any suggestions?
Just use some patience and listen , surely you can take a whopping 5 minutes out of your sofa time and learn something valuable, this woman took alot of time and effort to make this youtube for you .❤
@@stephanieroberts1394 5 minutes is acceptable, but its 20 minutes. Its the fact that galactikbutterfly lied about "a whopping 5 minutes". I have 2 jobs, 14 children, 3 wives, 2 houses, 6 chickens and a cat. YOU may have the time, but YOU arent everyone. I need white teeth and quickly. Im gonna use white house paint I have lying around (non lead based).
Dr Ellie, thank you! I've been using your system for 3 months. At my recent dental visit, the gum pockets I'd had were gone! The hygienist comented how pink and healthy my gums are. No sign of tartar building up, and that has always been a big problem, especially on my bottom front teeth. I wish I had known about your system years ago.
This is fascinating. I've had dentists say to me that I wasn't a good candidate for whitening (not sure why) but listening to this, I'm so glad. I have a niece who is gorgeous and has shockingly white teeth. I met her recently at a family funeral and was so distracted by her teeth that were so white they were almost blue. I hope she'll still have her own teeth at my age (65)
I think that being, as you say, gorgeous, comes with heightened pressure to do things like hyper whiten ones teeth. I've heard beautiful women friends talking about it, it's unfortunate. Who knows how much damage is done :/
Xyliyltol does haveceide effects; has been reported that xylitol can raise blood glucose levels, which suggests that diabetics shouldn't consume it. Also include constipation, gas.
I hope so, I was the same when I was young, naturally white but then got hooked on whitening and then white strips for upkeep, and destroyed my enamel. I just had my upper teeth removed and dentures at 37. My bottoms are ok in comparison but I used more strips on the top teeth.
@@1stmoviefanit's fine used in small quantities. But who wants to use it large quantities? It's even hard to buy in large quantities. I use the Ice Chips "mints", if you want to call them that.
I want to thank you for your calm, paced, thorough, logical explanation. I had no trouble understanding. I appreciate & applaud your heartfelt DEDICATION to the accuracy you strive for… for (understanding & maintaining) the mouth's natural biome. -And I appreciate you sharing, updating & perfecting your words. There are many people who aren’t ready to hear you yet. Keep at it, please! 🤗🤗🤗

@@dr.elliephillips please can you do a video for the UK. I'm using Ultradex original, Listerine cool mint, Fluorigard and the toothpaste you recommend. Hope that's OK.
We can and should always strive for ' excellence ' in everything we do. Perfection is impossible to achieve NOTHING on earth is perfect Unfortunately the greater majority of people are taught very basic Elementary English - known as Common Street English - and they have a very limited vocabulary - and most do not know what the words actually mean - nor where the words came from. They merely repeat what they hear the uneducated masses say - instead of educating themself by reading books by accomplished authors that one can learn from. Knowledge often comes from unexpected sources - and any knowledge provided is a GIFT - acquiring knowledge is extremely expensive in both time and money. Good luck and best wishes for 2024
Your mouth care system is saving my teeth. They got damaged pretty bad with a fruit based diet. I developed brown spots and severe sensitivity, cavities and yellowing. I've been doing your full protocol for about 2 months now and I already have way less sensitivity, and my teeth are whitening quickly. It took at least a month for me to notice any changes, I'm glad I stuck with it! I used to only want to use natural products, but the way you speak with confidence made me believe you knew what you were talking about. Thanks for making your videos! I'll do a before and after video in a year or so and give you all the credit :)
@@chrislastnam6822the person is being honest, there’s many fruits in a fruit based diet that are like continuously putting acid on your teeth. Mostly eating fruits means variety, so it’s very hard to avoid the acidic foods for want of variety. We knew it near ruined the enamel on my dad’s teeth 35 years ago. Diet needs balance or these things happen.

I’ve been doing your mouthwash system and it works! My granddaughter said grandma you have such nice teeth and I’m 65. Thank you for your guidance and knowledge. Happy New Year! ❤
Never heard any of this ! Love to eat all day long or drink But I’m a teeth fanatic! Never had a tooth brush until I was 18 used a wash cloth around my finger once in awhile- dentist 1st time 18 years old - zero cavities (“ mean step mother & no treats no cokes about 600 calories a day ) But no cavities none of my sisters either !!
I'm 72 years old, originally from South Africa. I have been living in the UK for 19 years and my teeth are in a mess. The crowns they put in are bright white. And I must be thankful that I am an NHS patient. I have gum problems, but after the dentist "cleaned" my teeth and told me to use Corsodol toothpaste, my gums have never been this bad. For the first few years I had a South African dentist in the UK and he was very good, but he disappeared. In lockdown I lost two teeth, because the fillings they put in, in ten minutes fell out. Going private is very expensive, twice the price of South Africa. I have managed to find most of the products at Amazon and will save the few teeth I have. My gums are my biggest worry, but reading reviews I am willing to try and succeed. Thank you for being really interested in dentistry.
I love the way you explain everything so we can really understand what is happening. Not everyone is open to being educated but I thank you for taking the time and helping us to help ourselves. Such a great teacher!
I've bought two whitening sets since 2015 and haven't been able to use them because I intuitively feared doing so. The second set came with a mold of my teeth and cost quite a bit, but still I couldn't bring myself to use it. I've NEVER heard of this whitening process being unsafe, but still, I FEARED it. Btw, I have very good guardian angels, who help me with many things. It was most gratifying to listen to you.
I appreciate your teachings, I'm getting started on your protocol, but I'm wondering if you had a video or tips for people that have struggled with having white teeth because they were given Tetracycline antibiotics as a baby? @@dr.elliephillips
I've had teeth issues in my molars from multiple run-ins with a few bad dentists. Small chunks of food gets lodged in between when I eat (which creates a breeding ground for bacteria and causes all sorts of pain) and I have sharp edges that catch on to everything which I can feel running my tongue over it. After being desparate for a long time I tried Dr. Ellie's protocol for about a month and it changed all my issues. Plaque litterally fell off my teeth, teeth whitened significantly, Bad breath gone. I saw a difference in the first few days really. It's been about 4 months since and I have changed it a bit for my own reasons. I just felt a need to reduce the amount of flouride entering my body since I learned I have flourosis. I eat low carb which makes the most significant difference for tooth health because you are no longer feeding the bad bacteria, I brush with xylitol toothpaste, chew xylitol gum, and tongue scrape (Not sure if it's making any difference but I am trying it out). Couldn't thank Dr. Ellie enough. I am glad to support her cause to educate the people by buying zellie's mints for my kids.
One of the first thing upon going into Vietnam (US Army) was a very high abrasive and fluoride treatment. Thank you, Uncle Sam. Combine that with growing up with tootsie rolls, Turkish Taffy, etc. that did so much damage and no good.
@@SPYsuperguySTOCKSwhat are you doing exactly? I bought xylitol sugar and i am not sure is it better to use it to brush my teeth or as mouth wash 🧐any advice please .❤thanks
My wife would love it if you did a video explaining exactly how to take care of your teeth when pregnant. She is constantly throwing up and ends up with cavities all along her gum lines. Sorry, i guess you already did a video on it. Thanks.
Thank you Dr! My wife has been a RDA for decades and she’s wondering why I’m buying these different products. I’m using your system on myself first for proof. I will ask her to watch your videos. As an engineer, I like to do my research and she knows it. Hopefully she will understand as well.
I remember (maybe 20 years ago or so) that MANY chewing gums were sweetened with Xylitol. You would see them all at the checkout counter with big letters saying XYLITOL. Then they just stopped! Now one is hard-pressed to find ANY candy or gum using xylitol. Now, I believe I know why.
Thank you. I tend to sip. So I’ve been trying to consume my two cups of coffee in a shorter window then swish water and take two Zelle’s. Same with water. I have to drink a lot during the day so I am still trying to be better about drinking not sipping.
Thank you so much for all the information that you have given me. I hope that you will continue going into 24 with your videos. I hope your holidays have been great.
According to my anthropology professor, people started getting lots of tooth decay when they started eating dried fruit. Dried fruit sticks to your teeth for many hours .
i didn't go to dentist for 4 yrs. during that time oil pulled w coconut oil once a day. when weny to dentist was shocked that i had no cavities and no gingivitis. it also whitened teeth but not in a dramic way. thx 4 info.
Bad news for you. Coconut oil creates a barrier that doesn't allow the saliva's remineralization. If it whitened your teeth a little is because, as she said at the beginning, they are weaker. Just clean them after each meal with toothpaste, use collutory and don't put anything "extra" in your teeth and let the saliva do it's job.
@@Elvariel369 No cavities or gingivitis sounds pretty good though? I always rinse my mouth with warm salty water after oil pulling, that gets the oil off the teeth.
@@Jewelmind I tried oil pulling but it didn't seem to be helping, and you are supposed to keep it in your mouth for 10-15 minutes, which was very difficult.
Interesting note that goes with your system... In another video, you mention how the saliva does the most mineralizing in the evening. To match that, recent studies show that the kidneys are the most active in the first 10 hours of the day, so that is when you should do the most hydrating. It is super important for your health to stay hydrated. So to incorporate your system and stay hydrated, I start my day with drinking 40 oz of water. Then progressively drink a little less than that about 30 minutes before each meal, drinking hardly any water after 5-6pm. Doing your system by the book. Well, actually using a lot more xylitol than the 6-8 grams. I was curious how much it would take to give myself the upset stomach that one will get with too much xylitol... I've gone over 70 grams and not had any stomach upset. Keeping it to about 10-15 grams now. One month in and the difference is already very noticeable.
People with good digestive health and who are on a generally high fiber diet have no problem incorporating high amounts of xylitol into their life. For women there may be osteoporosis protection at 40+ grams a day. There’s a book Sweeten Your Life The Xylitol Way by Karen Edwards written for diabetics who want to cook with xylitol.
I'm coeliac and have no problems eating xylitol :-) Also my husband made our son's 1st birthday cake with xylitol, even the buttercream icing and none of the babies, kids, adults inc grandparents had any problems... probably because they all thought it was a normal sugary cake.
@@jennraaravelle8617 Thanks for this message. You may like Karen Edward's book "Sweeten Your Life the Xylitol Way" with many xylitol recipes. Karen is a nutritionalist who has worked for years with diabetics and has lots of great recipes. Her cookie recipes are great and back in the 1990s I gave a talk to a group of hygienists in Syracuse New York. I took some brownies baked with xylitol - to serve at the meeting :) They were the first hygienists to learn about and endorse the benefits of xylitol Link to this book on Amazon: a.co/d/b1fzwaS
I mix virgin coconut oil with baking soda, along with my standard sensitive toothpaste. Works very well. (Baking soda is not an abrasive as many incorrectly believe. I will add in the ingredients mentioned here to see if it helps. Pro tip: Be sure to brush the backside of your teeth thoroughly because the backside does reflect through the frontside, adding to the dull yellow tint when light passes through.
My issue with this is the flouride; I refuse to use it. However, I may try the other pre-rinse that she recommends. I haven't used the harmful products for teeth whitening and don't plan to do so.
@@slavi7191 Some municipal water departments DO NOT add fluoride to the public water supply. Call your local department and ASK! Can we trust them to tell us the TRUTH? GOOD QUESTION!😮😉🤨
no you can't trust them @@cynthiashores57. fluoride is an industrial by-product and putting it in the water for us to drink is their way of disposing of said by-product.
The chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water are industrial byproducts from the phosphate fertilizer industry. These chemicals include fluorosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride. It is important to note that the fluoride added to drinking water is not a pharmaceutical grade additive, but an industrial waste byproduct. ☺
Thanks for the great advice! I found a cheaper version of xylitol than the one you're selling. Now I feel like good dental health is within reach! Thank you so much!
@5:30 I used one box of Crest White Strips and then - after decades of no cavities - I suddenly got cavities - so from my experience, she is telling the truth.

Thanks for your loving videos. When I moved to UK, I realised people don't eat fruit after every meal like we do back home, and like to sip drinks even while walking so gradually I stopped eating fruit after meal too and got a bit of sipping habit and drink while walking; but now that you have mentioned about xylitol, I am thinking maybe Persian people ate fruit after meal because of that, to increase their mouth soliva filled with natural xylitol from fruits. I will definately going to buy your book and maybe your system if I can find in UK and am greatfull for your passion and time. I beleive world has no other choice but to follow all these good people on social media and try to make a new living by focusing on helping people not fooling them. Now I'm thinking why everyone back home also drink tea with dates after every meal for generation, and alway say to always eat and drink when you're sitting, and sit for at least further 15min after every meal; maybe that's something to research!
Thank you, Dr. Ellie for giving me hope. I’m 66 and just discovered your system. I bought the Closys and Listerine and old fashioned Crest yesterday, plus a bunch of Pure Cylitol gum and granulated Xylitol. Your system makes so much sense. God bless you
I love these the kinf od videos, giving free info! Thank you Dr. Ellie, if you could make the videos a bit shorter I think that would be amazing. Also I am using a dental chatbot I came across for oral health advice and it's amazing
Hello! Would love to know the chatbot name and know whether it is free. Been looking for one that i can use since I am trying to review for the boards. Ty 🤍
Right on! ! Dr. Ellie's vids are absolute gems.btw, that dental chatbot sounds intriguing! Mind sharing where you found it? I could use some solid oral health advice too.🥺
@@soposhhh1122 I'm also curious about the chatbot mentioned. Then I saw your comment,,,, I was also thinking that he or she might be referring to Kriss AI 😅😅.
@@TayWoode they might have been added after the comment was made... Just because this person appears to have made a stupid comment doesn't necessarily mean that it was when it was posted.
I'm so glad I found your channel and this info! In my 40s and I've never done any whitening even though I do need it. I'm currently doing Invisalign + prob veneers on mis-shapen teeth afterwards. Orthodontist is already pushing for whitening and I'm wary - now very wary after watching this! Keen to first follow your recommendations and see. I hope your online store soon ships internationally (ie, to Australia) as I currently can't support your products.
I love your teaching, it is simple and straightforward. Truly, eradicating the source of the problem makes things less complicated. I am applying your technics and I am noticing an improvement here. God bless you.❤
What about whitening the teeth with UV light? I believe that is also offered. I’m sure it’s not good either, but was wondering how exactly it actually harms the teeth, if you happen to know. Thank you for your great videos. 🙏
UV light kills good bacteria that prevent the bad bacteria from producing plaque so what you're essentially doing is killing off the good guys that are helping your body defend against bad bacteria. We are made up of multiple colonies of good bacteria all throughout our body so it's important to keep their numbers high.
It's not just UV light. The light activates a peroxide gel product they put on the teeth. I just read that UV actually creates more exposed grooves making teeth more vulnerable to stress.
Hi everyone, I did an in office professional Philips Zoom whitening about 6 months ago and do not recommend it. First of all, I have noticed very little difference in the change of colour. They were not yellow at all to start with. I guess I was getting used to seeing the white teeth in commercials and advertising and just thought mine were not white enough. I always thought I took good care of my teeth since I do not have any sugar in my diet and brush 2 or 3 times a day. Since then, I actually discovered what did most of the harm to my teeth were the daily fresh orange juice every morning and the cup of tea after that (without rinsing my mouth afterwards) I have always thought only sugar was the issue not the acids in food. I just noticed a gum was bleeding the other day and I have never had issues with my gums before! I´m sure the whitening is bad for your enamel in the long run, but for the gums it´s really bad from the get go. They receded somewhat after the bleaching and show no signs of recovery. At least this experience helped me to make my teeth a priority from now. I´m fifty and I want to keep them healthy and functional, not too bothered with them being white or not anymore! 🙋♀
I see in all her videos.. comments saying they used her system..what's her system or protocol?? Seems they are promoting her methods or products to sale
@@supermario4024 Dr Ellie’s system or procedure uses products made by other well known companies. She makes no money off of them. You can buy the system from her at her website and she makes money off of that but she should because you’re essentially reimbursing her for the products she bought and assembled for you. You can buy these products yourself wherever they’re sold. Dr Ellie does make a xylitol product called Zellie’s Mints. It’s actually a public service that she does this because it’s not easy finding xylitol products. She also sells a program at her website that teaches about her entire program so you don’t have to piece it all together from multiple videos. All this information is basically for free to us, and I’m super grateful to Dr Ellie because she has educated us while most of mainstream dentistry has not. My own dentist and hygienist have done nothing to educate me. I knew nothing about the wonders of xylitol. They never explained the dangers of an acidic mouth. They constantly promote damaging teeth whitening. What I’ve figured out, and others might chime in here, is that Dr Ellie has put together a mouth care system based on her decades of dentistry experience, as well as educating us on the science behind what we need to do and why. She’s amazing.
I’ve had good luck with this system over the last few months with the exception of the regular crest toothpaste. For some reason it caused massive staining in a short period of time, but switching to Colgate regular paste fixed it.
@@dr.elliephillips thank you very much for the response Dr. Phillips. Yes, I was very careful to order & receive the original Crest paste with sodium fluoride (0.243%). I have no idea what in Crest causes this rapid staining for me but about 20 years ago I tried Crest paste with the same issue. Except back then it took me a couple years to figure it out, and oddly regular old Colgate paste is fine. If there is a concern with Colgate regular paste and you have a different recommendation I’d be happy to try it. Thank you for your help & time!
Hi, I´d like to add to my previous comment that I do recommend flossing for people who have some pockets in their gums. I did the tooth care system without flossing and one of my gums started to bleed because there was still some small particle of food stuck inside. You cannot see or notice it, so I´ll keep carefully flossing as part of my routine, to be sure. I treated the inflammation applying natural honey (anti bacterial) and aloe vera a couple of times a day to the gums. Also a drop of tea tree oil in your mouthwash or mixed with some water have scientifically been proven to be as effective as clorhexidine to treat cases of gingivitis. It also produces less irritation to the mucous tissue in the mouth. I´ll stopped using Listerine Mint because it irritates my gums too much. Dr. Ellie, does the formula you recommend have alcohol and benzoic acid? Because the original version is no where to be found here and the Mint version has these ingredients. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!!
@msSAN300, I have the original version and it does have alcohol (26.9%) and benzoic acid. This is the ingredient list: Active ingredients: Eucalyptol 0.092%; Menthol 0.042%; Methyl Salicylate 0.060%; Thymol 0.064%. Inactive ingredients: Water, alcohol (26.9% v/v), benzoic acid, poloxamer 407, sodium benzoate, caramel. Hope this helps.
A good toothbrush and proper brushing technique will remove particles in gum pockets. Brush the gums in circular motions as well as brushing the teeth.
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm 49 years old, never had a cavity and follow a whole food plant-based 'diet' for the past 20+ years. I'm healthy, haven't had a cold in about 20 years, exercise everyday etc. Anyway, for the past 30 years or so I have swished around my mouth most days 2% hydrogen peroxide before I brush with a 'natural' baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) toothpaste. I was told this hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate combo was the best defense against cavities (contrary to the modern dentists' suggestions). I was told this by several people I have met (each at different times) who were all over 70 and who each never had a cavity themselves after using this combination since childhood. Anyway, I don't use, and have never used, any whitening products like you warn about, however I do swish around my mouth this capful of hydrogen peroxide 2% before brushing. In your mind, does this pose the same damage as the peroxide whitening products on the market? What are your thoughts on 20 second mouth swish with hydrogen peroxide before brushing? Again, I've never had a cavity, and everyone else in my family has by their 20s. Thanks again. ps...I just listened to rest of video, and now have another question; my saliva PH is always 7.4 - 7.5, but I do drink water all day long. I do it not out of any kind of training, but honestly because I am always thirsty. I drink an average of over a gallon of water (reverse osmosis micro-filtered) a day everyday. My teeth are not as white as they once were, and I'd like to whiten them, but I feel I am always thirsty and so I'm always drinking water. Considering my PH on saliva strips is always alkaline, could you explain this to me? I really don't want to go for periods of time without drinking water. Again, thank you.
Apologies up front if I have read your comment wrong, because you are obviously an intelligent person and I mean no harm in my following comments…Excessive thirst can be a sign of something else being wrong. One of those things is diabetes, even if you have what you always considered as a good diet and are a healthy body weight that has served you well in the past, those things can change with age, so what was once serving us well can become a problem. Anyway I hope the good Dr E gets back to you because your questions are interesting.
Add minerals to your water, otherwise RO will leach them from your body. Also structuring your water should help it absorb better into your body. You may be thirsty for these 2 reasons, and they are inexpensive to resolve!
@@augustsnowfall5189 no reason to apologize, thanks for the kind words, and I appreciate it. But no, my A1c is '5'. In fact I just helped my Mom (who moved near me 2 years ago), who had an A1c of 11.5 (very far-end diabetic - while on metformin and the rest of the diabetic Pharma cocktail) get her A1c down to 6 and now taking no medicine at all. Simply by going on a whole food plant-based diet, and eliminating oils, as well as an exercise program I designed for her (I'm a physical therapist). She is now on the low end of pre-diabetes, after being full blown diabetic, on the drugs for 15 years.
Thank you dr. Ellie. About a month ago i noticed terrible receding gums and I failed to understand why as I have good oral health care, don’t smoke, no Gingivitis… i just didn’t get it. I refused to accept that gums don’t grow back as the body will always try to restore itself one way or another. I was so grateful to be guided to your video. It all made sense… acidity. I religiously drank lemon water for decades in the morning before eating fruit, then added kefir water and kombucha ( strong kombucha) to my evening routine just before brushing my teeth. On top of that I had used whitening strips on and off over time… it was basics an accident waiting to happen. Once I saw your video I immediately stopped these acidic drinks. And started chewing xylitol gum immediate after I eat or drink. My teeth are returning smooth and thicker again and are returning to their natural whiteness. I had been using pretty good products oral B enamel densifying tooth paste en vitis sensitive mouthwash which also helps with regrowing enamel. I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted before as I was still drinking those horrible drinks, but now I’m amazed at the results after not even a month. The situation was so bad I still have a long way to go. I may try to get the other two products to see if they help speed up recovery, but so far I cannot thank you enough for putting out this info 💖💖
I had my teeth whitened ONCE. NEVER AGAIN!!! My teeth hurt so much that it felt like they would shatter and explode. I knew immediately that this was a very bad idea.... prayed that nothing permanent would happen. Ever since I stopped going to dentists and basically do the opposite of what I was taught, my teeth have been absolutely fine and no new cavities since 30 years. Recently I also started taking Zellie's Xylitol, as I like mints anyway. So it's a 2 for one!
THANK YOU Dr Phillips for your chapters! I know this is added time to the editing process yet it helps me tremendously. Thank you. Now…. how do I get you to respond to my questions. 😊 I know you’re incredibly busy, and my own dentist is no help. I did send an Instagram message & I asked on another current video. Loving my new dental routine though!
I stopped using Floride products 30 years ago due its bad rep. About two months ago I ran across Dr. Ellie. Because [my teeth] after 30 years of using ONLY natural products were no better (still had bad breath, still had loose teeth, still had gum recession) I figured, "What do have to lose at this point".😔 About a week ago I was checking my gums in the mirror and noticed my teeth were bright and glistening. I remember thinking..."So THAT'S why they call them PEARLY WHITES"! 😍I have never known my teeth to "sparkle" and never in my life would have thought this is how you actually get sparking white/glistening teeth! My teeth always feel like I just came from a dental cleaning, and I can talk to people without them jumping away from me. Thank you ...Thank you, Dr. Ellie!🤗🤗
Hydroxyapatite is said to help whiten teeth. There's also CPP-ACP but there's some opinions that say it will block minerals from entering the structure.
many many thanks for your system.. I quit smoking and my teeth are improving and black is moving away ! hoping for the whitening and remove the grinding plate...!!
I am 52. Breast cancer survivor. I love this system! I have, what I think is stains from when I had braces when I was 15. Can this system get rid of those stains?
I cannot stand it but out of respect for her I just don't say anything to her anymore along those lines. Annoyin to say the least feels like a waste of my precious time. I'm going to hit that don't recommend channel button and stop feeding her views
Really! How ignorant you are that you want instant advice. You will never learn anything with that type of impatience. Shorts are made for you-just move on.
I buy a large green tea black everyday and I thought I would not be staining my teeth if I drank with a straw . I have been doing this for years and it discoloured the back of my front teeth , I have to explain this to the dental hygienist as they always ask why there is staining on just the back of the front teeth . The staining does come off easily with teeth cleaning she told me .
Im 51, I only started going to the dentist since age 41 LOL. The other last time I went was 16 when I had 5 cavity fillings. So either I was afraid of the dentist or I didn't have money for the cleanings. 25 years without dental cleanings i feared the worst!. I only needed 2 cleanings. I was shocked but I have used Crest toothpaste and a sonicare toothbrush the whole time since about age 20. Always swore by Crest for some reason and never changed. If i ever tried anything else i always ended up switching back to the Crest. I spent years telling people to just use Crest. Maybe I have good bacteria, I don't know but i have NOt had any significant dental work done the whole time except I did have 2 cavity filling re done. One was amalgam and i wanted the composite and the other started chipping away. Just recently I got a crack on the cusp of the molar #30 I think so I agreed to Crown and didn't need a root canal. Wish I had been doing the system before that because it was a small crack right on top of the cusp etc that was hurting when chewing hard things. My only dental work to date. P.S. I didnt use a specific crest toothpaste just whatever one i fancied.. I think Prohealth and densify were the ones I was using prior.
Dr. Ellie, I actually have a question about sealants for children. I wasn't sure where else to ask. My dentist recommended that my 14 yo get them now that all his adult teeth are in. Are they safe? Would you do this for your children? Thank you in advance.😊
She covers this subject in one of her books in detail, but you may want to take a look at her videos she has made on the subject of children; I can't remember if she mentions sealants in those videos or not.
I am looking at the doctor teeth and looks like she got nice teeth so it actually works for her and will work for all of us. She got so much information which I never heard from all my dentists.
I started the routine and yes my teeth feel better gums are starting to heal and it’s only been a week. I don’t use the alcohol listerine. Too much burn. I do Floss but I also do a turmeric pack on some gums that were red and I cannot tell you it healed the redness and my teeth have never been whiter. It does take time every night but I will stick to it bc the results have been so good.
Thank you so much for posting this information. So helpful! 😊 Interesting find on stem cells in tooth reservoirs. I watched a TH-cam video years ago about root canal procedures being linked with causing breast cancer.
Hi Dr Ellie, what's the safest way to remove surface stains caused by coffee and tea? I'm using your complete system, including your awesome cinnamon Zellie's gum. My teeth are white enough and look healthy. But I have area with brown stains -- mainly on the sides of the teeth rather than right in the middle of the tooth. I had my dental hygienist clean my teeth years ago and she scraped and scraped to remove what she told me were stains from coffee. I never want to do that again!
Dr. Ellie says the dark staining is likely from old dead plaque bacteria that have died as a result of improving your oral health on this program. She says so many people are afraid to brush hard enough for fear they will harm their teeth, so they aren't brushing the dead bacteria off. The staining can be brushed off with the medium-firmness type of toothbrush she recommends, or else the hygienist can remove it at the next dental cleaning.
Been going to the dentist my whole life and have been losing teeth or developing cavities ever since, despite how frequent I went. It’s about money with most. I did not think people like her exist
Healthy teeth are white teeth, dont seek artificial means to whiten teeth directly but try to mineralized your teeth and avoiding demineralization. Xylitol after meals helps avoid acidic mouth switch is responsible for demineralization. She has an mouth care routine program that you can check in her other videos, I recommend the hour long video in her mouth care system playlist, watch it in 1.5x speed.
Dr. Ellie, enjoyed your video and am enjoying using your protocol and have found that my teeth are definitely smoother, and gums not as inflamed as they used to be. It was interesting to hear you talk about Nitric Oxide in this video and mentioned how Nitric Oxide will increase. I recently became aware of the research on impact of mouth washes on Nitrix oxide (and relationship to hypertension), but the research was on ones that contain chlorhexidine. None of the mouthwashes that you recommend contain this ingredient, but I'm curious how using your protocol increases nitric oxide? Is it that it allow for increase in healthy bacteria that create the nitric oxide vs. those that don't? Would enjoy a video on just that subject alone!
I am interested in that subject too and would love to hear her discuss it. I'm confused about using the Listerine and the risks relates to blood pressure.
I’m not all over the subject but (my 2 cents) a few years ago I was conversing with an older friend who mentioned that studies were seemingly showing that there was a correlation between mouth wash and dementia. Your comments just pinged the memory for me. How very interesting…I am now wishing that I had looked into it further.Hopefully I will remember more…
There is a connection from the mouth biome to heart health. In fact, gum disease is directly linked to heart disease, but your heart doctor doesn't talk about it even though it's been published in peer reviewed journals. So it follows that a healthy mouth biome will help produce more nitric oxide, but I don't know exactly how or why. Stephanie Seneff is from MIT, and she has several youtube videos on nitric oxide that you might find interesting.
@@tonilogan5421 Seriously? Mouth biome and heart health and gum disease directly linked to heart disease. And 2 plus 2 equals 5. Lots of critical findings in research is not in the final analysis . Nothing defiantly proven. Just guess work. Like the germ theory doctors rely on to keep healthy people coming back to pay for mansions, big cars etc.
Many dentists told me my teeth were sensitive to cold foods. After decades of pain, I realized by accident that the true cause was spinach and the sugars inside of ice cream, soda, etc. I cut out both and I have been pain free...also lost 30lbs 😁. Sugar didn't surprise me but the Spinach did. Anyone else have issues with spinach and teeth pain?
Yes, spinach is super high oxalates. She talks about oxalates in another video but I can’t remember which one. (I personally try to avoid oxalates because they hurt my kidneys. Didn’t realize the tooth connection.)
One way to avoid the damaging Oxalates is to line your stomach with warm lemon juice and water in the morning. Dr Eric Berg (hope my spelling is right) on YT has a video on it and a leading expert was on somebody’s YT/Podcast on Oxalates said the same but I can’t remember her details. Something you may be interested to look into.
I eat a lot of kale salads and juices and my tooth sensitivity really increased recently. Very painful. I now use a nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste, and xylitol crystals, and the sensitivity is gone. I know of people who get restless leg syndrome from oxalates and they boil their high oxalate vegetables, which removes a lot of the oxalates, and they do very well. I make sure to rinse my mouth after eating or drinking and then get the xylitol in right away.
@@augustsnowfall5189 Sally K. Norton has some excellent information on oxalates, and I'm sure there are others who do as well. Such an important topic to research, as it affects so many of our bodily systems.
Thanks! I fast anyway so now I will leave time for saliva to do it's thing. I've used Now Foods xylitol toothpaste and oral rinse for years. I changed to using allulose as an alternative sweetener. I'll get some xylitol for that last cup of tea at night.
Hi Dr. Ellie, I’ve been doing your system for almost 3 months now. My tooth sensitivity have gone but my teeth are stained from my tea that I only drink 1X a day. What should I do? Pls help me. Thank you.
I m 17 yrs old Boy from India , GrandMa 💓 My enamel is so thin and I need to work on it. Can u please suggest me a good Xylitol gum here in India ? I can't able to buy Zellie's mint. That's why I am asking... ❤️
Remember, it doesn't have to be gum & it doesn't have to be Zellies. I love the Epic xylitol mints in cinnamon! There are other brands, just make sure it is 100% xylitol.
@@debsydebsy1499It doesn't have to be from birch. Non-GMO xylitol from corn is just as good, and better from the environmental aspect. That's 100% xylitol granules/crystals. One dose is 1 gram (about 1/4 teaspoon).
I can’t tolerate mint due to radiation to my throat & tongue. This has made the soft tissue in my mouth, tongue & throat extremely sensitive. The only toothpaste that does set my mouth on fire is mild biotene, gentle mint flavor can be painful I don’t produce saliva. It’s been recommended by dentists to keep my mouth moist w frequent sips of water How does one, like myself, who has gone through radiation treatment for throat & tongue cancer follow this program?
I have been using your system for a few months now and I am very happy with the results thus far; however, I had to stop using the Xylitol. First, I want to say that the Xylitol really, really works but I noticed that I developed an unpleasant feeling in my stomach as well as a slight headache on a daily basis. I tried to reduce the use of the Xylitol to once a day but the problem still existed. I am a 66 year old female who is currently undergoing Invisalign orthodontic treatment, close to a year now and would like to add that when I went to my regular dentist for cleaning, there was hardly anything to be done (and I had only been on your system for about 2 months) and I mentioned you. My question is, is there something else I can use to balance the healthy saliva in my mouth besides Xylitol or would a lesser strength of Xylitol help?
@@1MDA I will try this with the chewing gum as I switched from the Xylitol mints because it created acid reflux for me and then saw the fresh fruit chewing gum option. I believe Dr. Phillips did say to chew for 5 minutes and then spit it out, not sure though. I'll chew for about 1-2 minutes and see what happens. Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate it.
@@johnna-l7t This sounds like a great idea as well. I will look around to find the xylitol crystals. Thus far, I found that chewing the gum for a strict 5 mins and spitting it out has worked. Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate it.

it's a scam to make money - there is no evidence xylitol is beneficial and some that it causes harm
I started using this system about 4 months ago - and it has totally changed my mouth in the best way. My teeth feel smoother, plaque is nearly gone, and my gums don't ache anymore. I've added a simplified method (using the toothpaste, ACT mouthwash, and xylitol mints) to my 15 year old's routine and he says his teeth feel smoother and at his last dental visit the dentist commented that his teeth look really good. I'm very impressed with the results. Thank You! : )
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’ve been very skeptical because of some of the products but I do plan to give it a try for six months. Posts like yours give me encouragement.
Me too
What is your opinion of remineralising teeth with egg shell powder? I am a fan of natural solutions.
Hi Dr. Ellie ! I have been using your complete mouth care system for over 3 months now. This has drastically improve my halitosis. Lately after brushing my teeth with toothpaste I noticed there’s slight blood when I spit it out. What can be possibly wrong. Pls. i need your advice. Thank you. 😀

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

These videos are so helpful. I spent years listening to my dentist dispensing ultimately flawed and uninformed nonsense. I could have saved myself thousands of dollars had I known this as a young man.
To those complaining about these videos being too long: this is a you problem. You clicked on a 20-minute video, presumably because you wanted to learn something about your teeth. Learning isn't done by reading headlines. If you don't have the attention span to learn how and why something works (or doesn't), then you're unlikely to have the attention span to fix the problem.
Dentists are corrupt in giving false information for profit. Been going on for decades.
No money in promoting Xylitol, destructive sugar and damaging "cleaning" makes for rich dentists
It's 10 minute video with 2x speed and I am not even a native speaker. And you can do other stuff while listening to it. No need to see her while she speaks
I had horrific super plaque that is hereditary. One week after a dental cleaning I had plaque all over my front bottom teeth. It looked gross. No matter how much I brushed and flossed plaque would reappear almost overnight. I have been using Dr Ellie’s complete routine at night for two weeks with the Zellie’s during day time. I don’t have any plaque and my teeth feel stronger with the gums hugging my teeth better. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie!!!!!
You have a gut and mouth bacteria imbalance. Also most likely a dry mouth. Look into probiotics for mouth and gut. Change to a gut friendly diet. Use xylitol after meals to increase your saliva.
Same thing happened with me! I’ll always continue Dr. Ellie’s recommended dental care system. Her book “Kiss your dentist goodbye” is an excellent read and so informative!

Dr Ellie, thank you! I've been using your system for 3 months. At my recent dental visit, the gum pockets I'd had were gone! The hygienist comented how pink and healthy my gums are. No sign of tartar building up, and that has always been a big problem, especially on my bottom front teeth. I wish I had known about your system years ago.
This is fascinating. I've had dentists say to me that I wasn't a good candidate for whitening (not sure why) but listening to this, I'm so glad. I have a niece who is gorgeous and has shockingly white teeth. I met her recently at a family funeral and was so distracted by her teeth that were so white they were almost blue. I hope she'll still have her own teeth at my age (65)
Yes. They have no idea of the potential damage - even beyond their teeth.
I think that being, as you say, gorgeous, comes with heightened pressure to do things like hyper whiten ones teeth. I've heard beautiful women friends talking about it, it's unfortunate. Who knows how much damage is done :/
Xyliyltol does haveceide effects;
has been reported that xylitol can raise blood glucose levels, which suggests that diabetics shouldn't consume it. Also include constipation, gas.
I hope so, I was the same when I was young, naturally white but then got hooked on whitening and then white strips for upkeep, and destroyed my enamel. I just had my upper teeth removed and dentures at 37. My bottoms are ok in comparison but I used more strips on the top teeth.

Your mouth care system is saving my teeth. They got damaged pretty bad with a fruit based diet. I developed brown spots and severe sensitivity, cavities and yellowing. I've been doing your full protocol for about 2 months now and I already have way less sensitivity, and my teeth are whitening quickly. It took at least a month for me to notice any changes, I'm glad I stuck with it!
I used to only want to use natural products, but the way you speak with confidence made me believe you knew what you were talking about. Thanks for making your videos! I'll do a before and after video in a year or so and give you all the credit :)
Fruit is good for you.
@@chrislastnam6822the person is being honest, there’s many fruits in a fruit based diet that are like continuously putting acid on your teeth. Mostly eating fruits means variety, so it’s very hard to avoid the acidic foods for want of variety. We knew it near ruined the enamel on my dad’s teeth 35 years ago. Diet needs balance or these things happen.
Right on. I just started a week ago and looking forward to seeing results!
Lots of things that are good for bodies can damage teeth. This is where you strategize and learn how to eat good foods without causing tooth damage.
I’d like to suggest that oral health requires strategies ( like xylitol) that help to protect teeth from acidic attacks.
This makes a lot of sense. Dentists do warn about the side effects of whitening which is sensitivity. This explains why.

I'm 72 years old, originally from South Africa.
I have been living in the UK for 19 years and my teeth are in a mess.
The crowns they put in are bright white.
And I must be thankful that I am an NHS patient.
I have gum problems, but after the dentist "cleaned" my teeth and told me to use Corsodol toothpaste, my gums have never been this bad.
For the first few years I had a South African dentist in the UK and he was very good, but he disappeared.
In lockdown I lost two teeth, because the fillings they put in, in ten minutes fell out.
Going private is very expensive, twice the price of South Africa.
I have managed to find most of the products at Amazon and will save the few teeth I have.
My gums are my biggest worry, but reading reviews I am willing to try and succeed.
Thank you for being really interested in dentistry.

I've bought two whitening sets since 2015 and haven't been able to use them because I intuitively feared doing so. The second set came with a mold of my teeth and cost quite a bit, but still I couldn't bring myself to use it. I've NEVER heard of this whitening process being unsafe, but still, I FEARED it. Btw, I have very good guardian angels, who help me with many things. It was most gratifying to listen to you.

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

I've been using xylitol for less than a week and my mouth feels unrecognizable. Dr surely knows what she's talking about.
Same. 🎉
Did you get good results only using xylitol? How much xylitol did you take and how often?
Same here. 1 gum after every meal, 30-45min and no snacking and teeth become unbelievably smooth
Can you just buy xylitol powder and swish that around instead?
My wife would love it if you did a video explaining exactly how to take care of your teeth when pregnant. She is constantly throwing up and ends up with cavities all along her gum lines. Sorry, i guess you already did a video on it. Thanks.
Thank you Dr! My wife has been a RDA for decades and she’s wondering why I’m buying these different products. I’m using your system on myself first for proof. I will ask her to watch your videos. As an engineer, I like to do my research and she knows it. Hopefully she will understand as well.
I remember (maybe 20 years ago or so) that MANY chewing gums were sweetened with Xylitol. You would see them all at the checkout counter with big letters saying XYLITOL. Then they just stopped! Now one is hard-pressed to find ANY candy or gum using xylitol.
Now, I believe I know why.
I saw gum at Target said Xylitol
@@Sunny74- What’s it called?
Trident has xylitol
Thank you. I tend to sip. So I’ve been trying to consume my two cups of coffee in a shorter window then swish water and take two Zelle’s. Same with water. I have to drink a lot during the day so I am still trying to be better about drinking not sipping.
Thank you so much for all the information that you have given me. I hope that you will continue going into 24 with your videos. I hope your holidays have been great.
شكرا جزيلا لك أنتي دكتوره حقيقية❤ ممتنه لكل ماتقدمينه
According to my anthropology professor, people started getting lots of tooth decay when they started eating dried fruit. Dried fruit sticks to your teeth for many hours .
That's an ascientific take.
i didn't go to dentist for 4 yrs. during that time oil pulled w coconut oil once a day. when weny to dentist was shocked that i had no cavities and no gingivitis. it also whitened teeth but not in a dramic way. thx 4 info.
Bad news for you. Coconut oil creates a barrier that doesn't allow the saliva's remineralization. If it whitened your teeth a little is because, as she said at the beginning, they are weaker. Just clean them after each meal with toothpaste, use collutory and don't put anything "extra" in your teeth and let the saliva do it's job.
@@Elvariel369 No cavities or gingivitis sounds pretty good though?
I always rinse my mouth with warm salty water after oil pulling, that gets the oil off the teeth.
I hear oil pulling is really good
Be aware that oil pulling if you have amalgams will help the mercury to be released quicker. Not good news.
@@Jewelmind I tried oil pulling but it didn't seem to be helping, and you are supposed to keep it in your mouth for 10-15 minutes, which was very difficult.
Why can’t she just cut to the chase
For real
If you read her total mouth care system you will get a better appreciation of this video.

Microwave generation... How people detest good information beats me.🫣
I'm about to stop listening
Xylitol is from the Birch tree… if you think of this sugar.. the birch tree has milk what we use for kidney stones 🥰💕
Interesting note that goes with your system... In another video, you mention how the saliva does the most mineralizing in the evening. To match that, recent studies show that the kidneys are the most active in the first 10 hours of the day, so that is when you should do the most hydrating.
It is super important for your health to stay hydrated. So to incorporate your system and stay hydrated, I start my day with drinking 40 oz of water. Then progressively drink a little less than that about 30 minutes before each meal, drinking hardly any water after 5-6pm.
Doing your system by the book. Well, actually using a lot more xylitol than the 6-8 grams. I was curious how much it would take to give myself the upset stomach that one will get with too much xylitol... I've gone over 70 grams and not had any stomach upset. Keeping it to about 10-15 grams now. One month in and the difference is already very noticeable.
In another video of Dr Ellie’s, she says there is no additional benefit beyond 10g of xylitol daily and recommends only 6-7 g daily.
People with good digestive health and who are on a generally high fiber diet have no problem incorporating high amounts of xylitol into their life. For women there may be osteoporosis protection at 40+ grams a day.
There’s a book Sweeten Your Life The Xylitol Way by Karen Edwards written for diabetics who want to cook with xylitol.
@@dr.elliephillipsoh that's right! I actually heard a dental hygienist say this too! 😯👍
I'm coeliac and have no problems eating xylitol :-)
Also my husband made our son's 1st birthday cake with xylitol, even the buttercream icing and none of the babies, kids, adults inc grandparents had any problems... probably because they all thought it was a normal sugary cake.
@@jennraaravelle8617 Thanks for this message. You may like Karen Edward's book "Sweeten Your Life the Xylitol Way" with many xylitol recipes. Karen is a nutritionalist who has worked for years with diabetics and has lots of great recipes. Her cookie recipes are great and back in the 1990s I gave a talk to a group of hygienists in Syracuse New York. I took some brownies baked with xylitol - to serve at the meeting :) They were the first hygienists to learn about and endorse the benefits of xylitol Link to this book on Amazon: a.co/d/b1fzwaS
THANK YOU!!!!! it works followed the protocol in 3 weeks I already have the bacteria coming off my teeth.
I mix virgin coconut oil with baking soda, along with my standard sensitive toothpaste. Works very well. (Baking soda is not an abrasive as many incorrectly believe. I will add in the ingredients mentioned here to see if it helps.
Pro tip: Be sure to brush the backside of your teeth thoroughly because the backside does reflect through the frontside, adding to the dull yellow tint when light passes through.
Correction, Baking soda IS an abrasive.
Yes give your recepie please
Regular tooth paste has fluoride which we now know is so very harmful.
My issue with this is the flouride; I refuse to use it. However, I may try the other pre-rinse that she recommends. I haven't used the harmful products for teeth whitening and don't plan to do so.
if you drink water you drink fluoride, fluoride in the water. ☺
I struggle with that too. I don't like the idea of fluoride and I distrust it.
@@slavi7191
Some municipal water departments DO NOT add fluoride to the public water supply. Call your local department and ASK! Can we trust them to tell us the TRUTH? GOOD QUESTION!😮😉🤨
no you can't trust them @@cynthiashores57. fluoride is an industrial by-product and putting it in the water for us to drink is their way of disposing of said by-product.
The chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water are industrial byproducts from the phosphate fertilizer industry. These chemicals include fluorosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride. It is important to note that the fluoride added to drinking water is not a pharmaceutical grade additive, but an industrial waste byproduct. ☺
Thanks for the great advice! I found a cheaper version of xylitol than the one you're selling. Now I feel like good dental health is within reach! Thank you so much!
@5:30 I used one box of Crest White Strips and then - after decades of no cavities - I suddenly got cavities - so from my experience, she is telling the truth.

You are brilliant and have integrity. Thankyou x
Brilliant! Thank you Dr. Ellie Phillips for the informative dental video. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
I just love your teachings. Love you Ellie ❤
Thanks for your loving videos. When I moved to UK, I realised people don't eat fruit after every meal like we do back home, and like to sip drinks even while walking so gradually I stopped eating fruit after meal too and got a bit of sipping habit and drink while walking; but now that you have mentioned about xylitol, I am thinking maybe Persian people ate fruit after meal because of that, to increase their mouth soliva filled with natural xylitol from fruits.
I will definately going to buy your book and maybe your system if I can find in UK and am greatfull for your passion and time. I beleive world has no other choice but to follow all these good people on social media and try to make a new living by focusing on helping people not fooling them.
Now I'm thinking why everyone back home also drink tea with dates after every meal for generation, and alway say to always eat and drink when you're sitting, and sit for at least further 15min after every meal; maybe that's something to research!
Thank you, Dr. Ellie for giving me hope. I’m 66 and just discovered your system. I bought the Closys and Listerine and old fashioned Crest yesterday, plus a bunch of Pure Cylitol gum and granulated Xylitol. Your system makes so much sense. God bless you
Happy to know this is helpful!
Hey Katherine, if you ever see this - What brand xylitol granules and gum ?
Excellent display of intelligent guidance to healthy teeth. Thanks Dr Phillips!
I love these the kinf od videos, giving free info! Thank you Dr. Ellie, if you could make the videos a bit shorter I think that would be amazing. Also I am using a dental chatbot I came across for oral health advice and it's amazing
Hello! Would love to know the chatbot name and know whether it is free. Been looking for one that i can use since I am trying to review for the boards. Ty 🤍
Right on! ! Dr. Ellie's vids are absolute gems.btw, that dental chatbot sounds intriguing! Mind sharing where you found it? I could use some solid oral health advice too.🥺

What do you mean chapters? She has the video markers, isn’t that like chapters? I apologize, I’m a little slow😬
@@aveleedeleon7694don’t apologise, you’re right, I think the other person is a little slow or very impatient 😂
@@TayWoode they might have been added after the comment was made... Just because this person appears to have made a stupid comment doesn't necessarily mean that it was when it was posted.
I'm so glad I found your channel and this info! In my 40s and I've never done any whitening even though I do need it. I'm currently doing Invisalign + prob veneers on mis-shapen teeth afterwards. Orthodontist is already pushing for whitening and I'm wary - now very wary after watching this! Keen to first follow your recommendations and see. I hope your online store soon ships internationally (ie, to Australia) as I currently can't support your products.
I love your teaching, it is simple and straightforward. Truly, eradicating the source of the problem makes things less complicated. I am applying your technics and I am noticing an improvement here. God bless you.❤
What about whitening the teeth with UV light? I believe that is also offered. I’m sure it’s not good either, but was wondering how exactly it actually harms the teeth, if you happen to know. Thank you for your great videos. 🙏
UV light kills good bacteria that prevent the bad bacteria from producing plaque so what you're essentially doing is killing off the good guys that are helping your body defend against bad bacteria. We are made up of multiple colonies of good bacteria all throughout our body so it's important to keep their numbers high.
I would like to know the answer to this too
It's not just UV light. The light activates a peroxide gel product they put on the teeth.
I just read that UV actually creates more exposed grooves making teeth more vulnerable to stress.
I would think UV light would kill your good oral bacteria, which you need to protect your teeth and gums.
@@prague7706 apparently it doesn't do anything, the gel by itself does all the work.
Hi everyone, I did an in office professional Philips Zoom whitening about 6 months ago and do not recommend it. First of all, I have noticed very little difference in the change of colour. They were not yellow at all to start with. I guess I was getting used to seeing the white teeth in commercials and advertising and just thought mine were not white enough.
I always thought I took good care of my teeth since I do not have any sugar in my diet and brush 2 or 3 times a day. Since then, I actually discovered what did most of the harm to my teeth were the daily fresh orange juice every morning and the cup of tea after that (without rinsing my mouth afterwards) I have always thought only sugar was the issue not the acids in food.
I just noticed a gum was bleeding the other day and I have never had issues with my gums before! I´m sure the whitening is bad for your enamel in the long run, but for the gums it´s really bad from the get go. They receded somewhat after the bleaching and show no signs of recovery.
At least this experience helped me to make my teeth a priority from now. I´m fifty and I want to keep them healthy and functional, not too bothered with them being white or not anymore! 🙋♀
I see in all her videos.. comments saying they used her system..what's her system or protocol?? Seems they are promoting her methods or products to sale
"Cure tooth Decay" by Ramiel Nagle
I've been doing doctor Ellie Phillips Protocol for 2 months. What a wonderful great improvement on my teeth and gums❤❤❤❤
@@supermario4024 Dr Ellie’s system or procedure uses products made by other well known companies. She makes no money off of them. You can buy the system from her at her website and she makes money off of that but she should because you’re essentially reimbursing her for the products she bought and assembled for you. You can buy these products yourself wherever they’re sold. Dr Ellie does make a xylitol product called Zellie’s Mints. It’s actually a public service that she does this because it’s not easy finding xylitol products. She also sells a program at her website that teaches about her entire program so you don’t have to piece it all together from multiple videos. All this information is basically for free to us, and I’m super grateful to Dr Ellie because she has educated us while most of mainstream dentistry has not. My own dentist and hygienist have done nothing to educate me. I knew nothing about the wonders of xylitol. They never explained the dangers of an acidic mouth. They constantly promote damaging teeth whitening. What I’ve figured out, and others might chime in here, is that Dr Ellie has put together a mouth care system based on her decades of dentistry experience, as well as educating us on the science behind what we need to do and why. She’s amazing.
@@WordAboveAllthx
I’ve had good luck with this system over the last few months with the exception of the regular crest toothpaste. For some reason it caused massive staining in a short period of time, but switching to Colgate regular paste fixed it.
Are you certain you had the correct Crest paste with sodium - NOT stannous- fluoride? The ProHealth is the wrong kind.
@@dr.elliephillips thank you very much for the response Dr. Phillips. Yes, I was very careful to order & receive the original Crest paste with sodium fluoride (0.243%). I have no idea what in Crest causes this rapid staining for me but about 20 years ago I tried Crest paste with the same issue. Except back then it took me a couple years to figure it out, and oddly regular old Colgate paste is fine. If there is a concern with Colgate regular paste and you have a different recommendation I’d be happy to try it. Thank you for your help & time!
I brush my teeth with baking soda.. nothing added. I make a paste with spring water.. And I have no problem with whitening.
Hi, I´d like to add to my previous comment that I do recommend flossing for people who have some pockets in their gums. I did the tooth care system without flossing and one of my gums started to bleed because there was still some small particle of food stuck inside. You cannot see or notice it, so I´ll keep carefully flossing as part of my routine, to be sure. I treated the inflammation applying natural honey (anti bacterial) and aloe vera a couple of times a day to the gums. Also a drop of tea tree oil in your mouthwash or mixed with some water have scientifically been proven to be as effective as clorhexidine to treat cases of gingivitis. It also produces less irritation to the mucous tissue in the mouth.
I´ll stopped using Listerine Mint because it irritates my gums too much. Dr. Ellie, does the formula you recommend have alcohol and benzoic acid? Because the original version is no where to be found here and the Mint version has these ingredients. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!!
@msSAN300, I have the original version and it does have alcohol (26.9%) and benzoic acid. This is the ingredient list: Active ingredients: Eucalyptol 0.092%; Menthol 0.042%; Methyl Salicylate 0.060%; Thymol 0.064%. Inactive ingredients: Water, alcohol (26.9% v/v), benzoic acid, poloxamer 407, sodium benzoate, caramel. Hope this helps.
She says flossing below the gumline causes gum recession.
A good toothbrush and proper brushing technique will remove particles in gum pockets. Brush the gums in circular motions as well as brushing the teeth.
@@chrislastnam6822you mean into the gumline?
She mentioned in other vids that listerine is acidic and has alcohol, which is why her system follows with ACT.. listerine never to be used alone.
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm 49 years old, never had a cavity and follow a whole food plant-based 'diet' for the past 20+ years. I'm healthy, haven't had a cold in about 20 years, exercise everyday etc. Anyway, for the past 30 years or so I have swished around my mouth most days 2% hydrogen peroxide before I brush with a 'natural' baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) toothpaste. I was told this hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate combo was the best defense against cavities (contrary to the modern dentists' suggestions). I was told this by several people I have met (each at different times) who were all over 70 and who each never had a cavity themselves after using this combination since childhood. Anyway, I don't use, and have never used, any whitening products like you warn about, however I do swish around my mouth this capful of hydrogen peroxide 2% before brushing. In your mind, does this pose the same damage as the peroxide whitening products on the market? What are your thoughts on 20 second mouth swish with hydrogen peroxide before brushing? Again, I've never had a cavity, and everyone else in my family has by their 20s. Thanks again.
ps...I just listened to rest of video, and now have another question; my saliva PH is always 7.4 - 7.5, but I do drink water all day long. I do it not out of any kind of training, but honestly because I am always thirsty. I drink an average of over a gallon of water (reverse osmosis micro-filtered) a day everyday. My teeth are not as white as they once were, and I'd like to whiten them, but I feel I am always thirsty and so I'm always drinking water. Considering my PH on saliva strips is always alkaline, could you explain this to me? I really don't want to go for periods of time without drinking water. Again, thank you.
She is against using H2O2, baking soda, tea tree oil or cloves. .
Apologies up front if I have read your comment wrong, because you are obviously an intelligent person and I mean no harm in my following comments…Excessive thirst can be a sign of something else being wrong. One of those things is diabetes, even if you have what you always considered as a good diet and are a healthy body weight that has served you well in the past, those things can change with age, so what was once serving us well can become a problem. Anyway I hope the good Dr E gets back to you because your questions are interesting.
Add minerals to your water, otherwise RO will leach them from your body. Also structuring your water should help it absorb better into your body. You may be thirsty for these 2 reasons, and they are inexpensive to resolve!
@@augustsnowfall5189 no reason to apologize, thanks for the kind words, and I appreciate it. But no, my A1c is '5'. In fact I just helped my Mom (who moved near me 2 years ago), who had an A1c of 11.5 (very far-end diabetic - while on metformin and the rest of the diabetic Pharma cocktail) get her A1c down to 6 and now taking no medicine at all. Simply by going on a whole food plant-based diet, and eliminating oils, as well as an exercise program I designed for her (I'm a physical therapist). She is now on the low end of pre-diabetes, after being full blown diabetic, on the drugs for 15 years.
@@chrislastnam6822 thanks, I watched one of her longer videos telling her suggested protocol after this video and saw that
Thank you dr. Ellie. About a month ago i noticed terrible receding gums and I failed to understand why as I have good oral health care, don’t smoke, no
Gingivitis… i just didn’t get it. I refused to accept that gums don’t grow back as the body will always try to restore itself one way or another. I was so grateful to be guided to your video. It all made sense… acidity. I religiously drank lemon water for decades in the morning before eating fruit, then added kefir water and kombucha ( strong kombucha) to my evening routine just before brushing my teeth. On top of that I had used whitening strips on and off over time… it was basics an accident waiting to happen. Once I saw your video I immediately stopped these acidic drinks. And started chewing xylitol gum immediate after I eat or drink. My teeth are returning smooth and thicker again and are returning to their natural whiteness. I had been using pretty good products oral B enamel densifying tooth paste en vitis sensitive mouthwash which also helps with regrowing enamel. I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted before as I was still drinking those horrible drinks, but now I’m amazed at the results after not even a month. The situation was so bad I still have a long way to go. I may try to get the other two products to see if they help speed up recovery, but so far I cannot thank you enough for putting out this info 💖💖
I had my teeth whitened ONCE. NEVER AGAIN!!! My teeth hurt so much that it felt like they would shatter and explode. I knew immediately that this was a very bad idea.... prayed that nothing permanent would happen. Ever since I stopped going to dentists and basically do the opposite of what I was taught, my teeth have been absolutely fine and no new cavities since 30 years. Recently I also started taking Zellie's Xylitol, as I like mints anyway. So it's a 2 for one!
I am a Dental therapist, i agree with you
Thank you Dr. Ellie Happy New Year.
Scary as heck explanation- and essential! Thank you
THANK YOU Dr Phillips for your chapters! I know this is added time to the editing process yet it helps me tremendously. Thank you. Now…. how do I get you to respond to my questions. 😊 I know you’re incredibly busy, and my own dentist is no help. I did send an Instagram message & I asked on another current video. Loving my new dental routine though!
1. Reduce eating window
2. Women have more acidic ph than men (during pregnancy, hormones)
3. Zellie xylitol to remineralise
In what form do we "take in" "use" zylitol?
I stopped using Floride products 30 years ago due its bad rep. About two months ago I ran across Dr. Ellie. Because [my teeth] after 30 years of using ONLY natural products were no better (still had bad breath, still had loose teeth, still had gum recession) I figured, "What do have to lose at this point".😔 About a week ago I was checking my gums in the mirror and noticed my teeth were bright and glistening. I remember thinking..."So THAT'S why they call them PEARLY WHITES"! 😍I have never known my teeth to "sparkle" and never in my life would have thought this is how you actually get sparking white/glistening teeth! My teeth always feel like I just came from a dental cleaning, and I can talk to people without them jumping away from me. Thank you ...Thank you, Dr. Ellie!🤗🤗
Glad to hear some people get good results, dont know why some wouldnt, if anything happens keeps us updated. Seem I'll give this a try as well
Hydroxyapatite is said to help whiten teeth. There's also CPP-ACP but there's some opinions that say it will block minerals from entering the structure.

Would using a straw to drink water be an effective way of shielding the teeth from having contact with the water?
You can try with some teeth dye and see if it helps? I think it does nothing for most people. I guess it's down to technique!
In a previous video/article she said that all straw use does is force the back molars to take the brunt of the damage.
I buy a large green tea black everyday and I thought I would not be staining my teeth if I drank with a straw . I have been doing this for years and it discoloured the back of my front teeth , I have to explain this to the dental hygienist as they always ask why there is staining on just the back of the front teeth . The staining does come off easily with teeth cleaning she told me .
Im 51, I only started going to the dentist since age 41 LOL. The other last time I went was 16 when I had 5 cavity fillings. So either I was afraid of the dentist or I didn't have money for the cleanings. 25 years without dental cleanings i feared the worst!. I only needed 2 cleanings. I was shocked but I have used Crest toothpaste and a sonicare toothbrush the whole time since about age 20. Always swore by Crest for some reason and never changed. If i ever tried anything else i always ended up switching back to the Crest. I spent years telling people to just use Crest. Maybe I have good bacteria, I don't know but i have NOt had any significant dental work done the whole time except I did have 2 cavity filling re done. One was amalgam and i wanted the composite and the other started chipping away. Just recently I got a crack on the cusp of the molar #30 I think so I agreed to Crown and didn't need a root canal. Wish I had been doing the system before that because it was a small crack right on top of the cusp etc that was hurting when chewing hard things. My only dental work to date. P.S. I didnt use a specific crest toothpaste just whatever one i fancied.. I think Prohealth and densify were the ones I was using prior.
Organic aloe vera gel is awesome for whitening !
Never got the method 😮
go to her channel the first video on it she explains what to do and more importantly why!
Dr. Ellie, I actually have a question about sealants for children. I wasn't sure where else to ask. My dentist recommended that my 14 yo get them now that all his adult teeth are in. Are they safe? Would you do this for your children? Thank you in advance.😊
She covers this subject in one of her books in detail, but you may want to take a look at her videos she has made on the subject of children; I can't remember if she mentions sealants in those videos or not.
I am looking at the doctor teeth and looks like she got nice teeth so it actually works for her and will work for all of us. She got so much information which I never heard from all my dentists.
I started the routine and yes my teeth feel better gums are starting to heal and it’s only been a week. I don’t use the alcohol listerine. Too much burn. I do
Floss but I also do a turmeric pack on some gums that were red and I cannot tell you it healed the redness and my teeth have never been whiter. It does take time every night but I will stick to it bc the results have been so good.
Thank you so much for posting this information. So helpful! 😊 Interesting find on stem cells in tooth reservoirs. I watched a TH-cam video years ago about root canal procedures being linked with causing breast cancer.
Hi Dr Ellie, what's the safest way to remove surface stains caused by coffee and tea? I'm using your complete system, including your awesome cinnamon Zellie's gum. My teeth are white enough and look healthy. But I have area with brown stains -- mainly on the sides of the teeth rather than right in the middle of the tooth. I had my dental hygienist clean my teeth years ago and she scraped and scraped to remove what she told me were stains from coffee. I never want to do that again!
Dr. Ellie says the dark staining is likely from old dead plaque bacteria that have died as a result of improving your oral health on this program. She says so many people are afraid to brush hard enough for fear they will harm their teeth, so they aren't brushing the dead bacteria off. The staining can be brushed off with the medium-firmness type of toothbrush she recommends, or else the hygienist can remove it at the next dental cleaning.
Thank you very much for all the information! I would like to know if calcium carbonate in a xylitol gum would negate its benefits?
Thank you, I damage my teeth too much when I was a kid, I hope they can still be saved now 😔
Been going to the dentist my whole life and have been losing teeth or developing cavities ever since, despite how frequent I went. It’s about money with most. I did not think people like her exist
can someone condense what she is saying please
Healthy teeth are white teeth, dont seek artificial means to whiten teeth directly but try to mineralized your teeth and avoiding demineralization.
Xylitol after meals helps avoid acidic mouth switch is responsible for demineralization.
She has an mouth care routine program that you can check in her other videos, I recommend the hour long video in her mouth care system playlist, watch it in 1.5x speed.
You can speed it up up to 2x
common sense does!
😅
Too much talk and nothing being said
Dr. Ellie, enjoyed your video and am enjoying using your protocol and have found that my teeth are definitely smoother, and gums not as inflamed as they used to be. It was interesting to hear you talk about Nitric Oxide in this video and mentioned how Nitric Oxide will increase. I recently became aware of the research on impact of mouth washes on Nitrix oxide (and relationship to hypertension), but the research was on ones that contain chlorhexidine. None of the mouthwashes that you recommend contain this ingredient, but I'm curious how using your protocol increases nitric oxide? Is it that it allow for increase in healthy bacteria that create the nitric oxide vs. those that don't? Would enjoy a video on just that subject alone!
Also take 5 grams L-Arginine daily in morning.
I am interested in that subject too and would love to hear her discuss it. I'm confused about using the Listerine and the risks relates to blood pressure.
I’m not all over the subject but (my 2 cents) a few years ago I was conversing with an older friend who mentioned that studies were seemingly showing that there was a correlation between mouth wash and dementia. Your comments just pinged the memory for me. How very interesting…I am now wishing that I had looked into it further.Hopefully I will remember more…
There is a connection from the mouth biome to heart health. In fact, gum disease is directly linked to heart disease, but your heart doctor doesn't talk about it even though it's been published in peer reviewed journals. So it follows that a healthy mouth biome will help produce more nitric oxide, but I don't know exactly how or why. Stephanie Seneff is from MIT, and she has several youtube videos on nitric oxide that you might find interesting.
@@tonilogan5421 Seriously? Mouth biome and heart health and gum disease directly linked to heart disease. And 2 plus 2 equals 5. Lots of critical findings in research is not in the final analysis . Nothing defiantly proven. Just guess work. Like the germ theory doctors rely on to keep healthy people coming back to pay for mansions, big cars etc.
Many dentists told me my teeth were sensitive to cold foods. After decades of pain, I realized by accident that the true cause was spinach and the sugars inside of ice cream, soda, etc. I cut out both and I have been pain free...also lost 30lbs 😁. Sugar didn't surprise me but the Spinach did. Anyone else have issues with spinach and teeth pain?
it's the oxalates
Yes, spinach is super high oxalates. She talks about oxalates in another video but I can’t remember which one. (I personally try to avoid oxalates because they hurt my kidneys. Didn’t realize the tooth connection.)
One way to avoid the damaging Oxalates is to line your stomach with warm lemon juice and water in the morning. Dr Eric Berg (hope my spelling is right) on YT has a video on it and a leading expert was on somebody’s YT/Podcast on Oxalates said the same but I can’t remember her details. Something you may be interested to look into.
I eat a lot of kale salads and juices and my tooth sensitivity really increased recently. Very painful. I now use a nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste, and xylitol crystals, and the sensitivity is gone. I know of people who get restless leg syndrome from oxalates and they boil their high oxalate vegetables, which removes a lot of the oxalates, and they do very well. I make sure to rinse my mouth after eating or drinking and then get the xylitol in right away.
@@augustsnowfall5189 Sally K. Norton has some excellent information on oxalates, and I'm sure there are others who do as well. Such an important topic to research, as it affects so many of our bodily systems.
Thanks! I fast anyway so now I will leave time for saliva to do it's thing. I've used Now Foods xylitol toothpaste and oral rinse for years. I changed to using allulose as an alternative sweetener. I'll get some xylitol for that last cup of tea at night.
Use xylitol after meals and drinks. Don’t add it into drinks. It works best by itself - not dissolved in liquids.
Coconut oil pulling ..veggie drinks ...avoid coke and Pepsi ..
Hi Dr. Ellie, I’ve been doing your system for almost 3 months now. My tooth sensitivity have gone but my teeth are stained from my tea that I only drink 1X a day. What should I do? Pls help me. Thank you.
I baught xylitol at the pharmacy. Packaging says it's a replacement for sugar. Is this the correct product?
Yes.
I m 17 yrs old Boy from India , GrandMa 💓 My enamel is so thin and I need to work on it. Can u please suggest me a good Xylitol gum here in India ? I can't able to buy Zellie's mint. That's why I am asking... ❤️
Use the granulated powder from birch
Remember, it doesn't have to be gum & it doesn't have to be Zellies. I love the Epic xylitol mints in cinnamon! There are other brands, just make sure it is 100% xylitol.
@@debsydebsy1499 thank you sir ❤️
@@cindyp5132 thanks for the information mam ❤️
@@debsydebsy1499It doesn't have to be from birch. Non-GMO xylitol from corn is just as good, and better from the environmental aspect. That's 100% xylitol granules/crystals. One dose is 1 gram (about 1/4 teaspoon).
I can’t tolerate mint due to radiation to my throat & tongue. This has made the soft tissue in my mouth, tongue & throat extremely sensitive.
The only toothpaste that does set my mouth on fire is mild biotene, gentle mint flavor can be painful
I don’t produce saliva. It’s been recommended by dentists to keep my mouth moist w frequent sips of water
How does one, like myself, who has gone through radiation treatment for throat & tongue cancer follow this program?
I have been using your system for a few months now and I am very happy with the results thus far; however, I had to stop using the Xylitol. First, I want to say that the Xylitol really, really works but I noticed that I developed an unpleasant feeling in my stomach as well as a slight headache on a daily basis. I tried to reduce the use of the Xylitol to once a day but the problem still existed. I am a 66 year old female who is currently undergoing Invisalign orthodontic treatment, close to a year now and would like to add that when I went to my regular dentist for cleaning, there was hardly anything to be done (and I had only been on your system for about 2 months) and I mentioned you. My question is, is there something else I can use to balance the healthy saliva in my mouth besides Xylitol or would a lesser strength of Xylitol help?
As far as an opinion of a stranger can be of value, maybe try spitting the xylitol after you have it diluted in you mouth? What you think?
@@1MDA I will try this with the chewing gum as I switched from the Xylitol mints because it created acid reflux for me and then saw the fresh fruit chewing gum option. I believe Dr. Phillips did say to chew for 5 minutes and then spit it out, not sure though. I'll chew for about 1-2 minutes and see what happens. Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate it.
The other idea is to use the xylitol crystals, let them melt in your mouth, swoosh around a bit with them, then spit them out.
@@johnna-l7t This sounds like a great idea as well. I will look around to find the xylitol crystals. Thus far, I found that chewing the gum for a strict 5 mins and spitting it out has worked. Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate it.
It seems alkalinzation is the goal so you could swish with baking soda or Borax in water. ??
