I've been using your system for 12 years, but 11 of those years I was only using the Crest, Listerine, and ACT (and I still flossed). I had good results, but since you've been on TH-cam I've ramped it up a bit, stopping flossing and adding Closys, MouthWatchers toothbrush, and Xylitol a year ago. WOW. The results are amazing! My teeth feel so much stronger now, and my gums have really tightened up resulting in less spacing between my teeth. My advice is to use Dr. Ellie's complete mouth care system TO THE LETTER. It works!
@@dr.elliephillips Madam i need your help, i m suffering from Diabetes insipidus (caused by removal of pituitary gland due to rathkes cleft cyst), m on HRT(as i lost all hormones). I use decompression but my mouth is dry and my teeth (especially incisors are extremely weak) are giving shocking sensation and feel like they are gonna fall apart, please help me to make my teeth stronger or better atleast. In my dentists are not trained enough to deal , they just refer to endocrinology but they again sent me to dentists,please help me
I have to agree, I used only crest, listerine, and act ať the beginning (and xylitol, of course), since I was a little afraid of using closys due to negative commentary by many people. Nevertheless, I gave it a try and will continue using closys, too, as it made a HUGE difference especially as regards the gum health (no gum sensitivity or bleeding any more). Just use closys strictly for one minute only, and you will get the maximum benefit 😊
@@lenka1547 It is difficult to persuade everyone to TRY the complete system...and FEEL how their teeth FEEL. Then I suggest, once your mouth is healthy, go and experiment with all the things so many people think they want to try... The problem is that without a "gold standard" you have no idea which product is working and which one is not. Believe me, I have tried so many different ways to "clean my teeth" over the years - The conclusion from me: this is the only way I do it. With the EAXCT products - not store bought or children's - just because they "say" they have the same ingredients....for some reason it all makes a difference. Even the kind of brush you use.... Thanks for your comment.
Just got back from my first dentist visit yesterday after using your product for the last three or four months. I had not been able to get my teeth cleaned for two years. The dentist complimented me on how clean my teeth were and I had no dental issues whatsoever.! Thanks so much for making this information available on TH-cam.
Hi all, I have been doing Dr. Ellie’s mouth care system for 7 months and my teeth results have been dramatic. Previously I had a variety of teeth health concerns, but being on this system has completely reversed that. My teeth are whiter, the gums no longer bleed and have tightened up. And it’s such an affordable and easy system and the impact on my teeth has literally been a miracle. So thankful for Dr. Ellie sharing this wisdom.
With 9 months on Dr.Ellie's complete mouth care system so far, my teeth and gums look and feel better than they ever have. I've gone from quarterly cleanings to 6 month cleaning, which will probably become 12 months soon. _Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye_ was a very appropriate title for your first book!
I have gotten amazing results from your system in only a few weeks. My toothpain is gone, and I believe the two cavities I had are healing. I cannot thank you enough for your system and sharing it with everyone. It is exactly what I needed. 💖🙏 Thank you.
I've been on your system now for 9 weeks. I have a daily diary to keep me accountable and on track. I make note of my morning and evening protocols along with what i'm consuming and when I take my xylitol. Its been a real game changer for me. I cant wait to see my hygenist in January. I'm also getting my grandkids on board after breakfast with some xylitol. I purchased your book and shared it with my daughter in law to read. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie! HUGS from Canada.
What you were saying about your skin resonated with me. Every time I went to the dentist I would be told that my gum recession was my fault because I wasn't doing enough to keep them clean. In between appointments, I would buy expensive electronic toothbrushes, waterpiks, and floss daily only to be told the same thing again. I tried pulling oil and that did make an improvement, but it only went so far. Luckily I found your mouthcare system. My teeth are now smooth, whiter and the gum pockets that I had are flattening. The Dr. Plotka's manual toothbrush is better than my high priced electronic toothbrush and it replaces flossing. I haven't been to to dentist in over a year because I know I've solved the problem and I don't want them to pick at my healed gumline. Thank you so much for saving my teeth and not believing that gum disease is caused by laziness.
I am officially on week 17 (11/30/2024) of the complete system and have had incredible results with my gum tissue and sensitivity. No streptococcus mutans, no plaque; nothing except smooth teeth. I can tell that my teeth are significantly stronger in density. I try to keep my mouth alkalinity at a constant, and this seems to be paying off. Thanks, Doctor Phillips! Love from the United States! Happy Holidays to all too!
@@riumudamc4686 You can take a home test through a company called Bristle. I use a slightly more reliable test from Oral DNA that needs to be ordered by a dentist.
I started doing the xylitol 1 week ago with my 6 and 7 year olds. We are waiting on some other products from the system, but in 1 week, my kids gums are doing better. Their gums were bleeding in one area on each of them, and they are almost not bleeding now. And it hurt so much when I was brushinv their teeth, they would cry. Literally after 1 week, they no longer are crying or having pain, and like I said, very little bleeding. I am AMAZED! Can't wait to do the entire regimine. I could cry happy tears myself! I felt terrible every time I was brushing their teeth. Not now. I am soooo excited about this!
Xylitol is truelly wonderful, i've have my gums also much much better, it took awhile, since dentists kept drilling & pulling.... i had to go learn & find info myself, good luck from Belgium
Hadn't I discovered Dr. Phillip's mouth care system video six months ago, I would have undergone Invisalign and implant redone due to gum recession as biting and implant placement issue accusations from different dentists. I was skeptical with non-flossing and Xylitol gums but it has saved my gum recession from molar teeth and one implant. As gum recession is no longer an issue, I no longer have any irritation sensation on one of my molar implants. I'd say during the first two months, I still have that sensation and I had to chew Xylitol gum consistently through out the day thus it curbs that sensation (amazing). Now I only chew it after a meal. Thank you Dr. Phillip as you have saved me from lots of turmoils and money!!!❤❤❤
@@yourethebest9377are you claiming that your gums regrew or the recession simply stop? There is a big difference and honesty would be appreciated in your response. Do you have photos?
Thank you, Dr. Ellie - I just had my dental appointment after using your System for 6 months, & without prompting, the hygienist stated that my teeth were pretty clean...& my dentist seemed shocked at how well my gums looked. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge & expertise. 😇
I sent my daughter and son your system. I asked my daughter yesterday how it was going. She said, “fine, but I don’t use xylitol very often because it can damage the liver.” She’s a nurse and thinks she knows every thing. I simply googled xylitol side effects and sent her the article. Of course it said there’s no harm from xylitol. I, personally, never leave the house without some in my pocket.
2 weeks in, already seeing huge improvements. Never seen my gums so healthy. Every time I brush and follow the steps, I get WAY better results than flossing. I can see through every nook and cranny of my teeth.
Just getting all sugar and grains out of my diet did great at getting started with healing for me! I had to get 13 amalgam fillings out to improve my health! They were killing me!
I’m a total adept since I heard your first TH-cam about a year ago. Still waiting for my gums to grow back 😅But I feel like I’ve stopped the process, which is already amazing. Thank you. 🙏🏿
She said it was the Clinique brand cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Clinique is sold at a makeup counter in department stores. I'm sure you can also buy it online.
Dr. Ellie, we used your whole system for about 6 months and noticed improvement in our teeth. They were getting whiter and my daughter said that her gums (seemingly) looked to have gone back down, since they've been recessing for a while now. After about those 6 months, I noticed I was getting brownish-black tar-looking stains between my teeth where they meet the gums. My wife got scared and they would not come off even using toothpaste. It might have been my fault. I was keeping the Listerine in my mouth for longer than the burning stage. We stopped using the whole system when we started noticing symptoms that we never got before until we started your teeth regiment. My daughters noticed that their nervous systems would act up (they would get the jitters out of the blue, almost as if they were getting panic attacks without the panic attack, if that makes sense). Among other symptoms. Another thing I would like to ask about is the Listerine lawsuits/allegations(?) about the mouthwash causing cancer, ESPECIALLY when used twice a day. Other dentists are advising against using it, especially twice a day. What are your thoughts about this?
Could it be that your gums have been inflamed. When the inflammation goes down using this system, the puffiness settles in the gums and it tightens. And spots that were previously hidden by the puffy gums can be seen.
Hello. I was reading in a book on dental health that odontoblasts, which line the dentin layer just underneath the enamel of teeth, produce osteocalcin. This osteocalcin needs to be activated by vitamin K2 before it can incorporate calcium into the dentin matrix. Could you do a video on vitamin K2 and its co-factors (such as vitamin D3, magnesium and boron) and explain how these compounds help strengthen teeth?
Hi Dr. Ellie, is the Oxyfresh Fluoride mouthwash an adequate alternative to the act Fluoride mouthwash that you recommend? It has the 0.05% sodium fluoride in it and the inactive ingredients are: Water (Aqua), Xylitol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Phosphate, Flavor*, Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide (Oxygene®), Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid. *Contains Peppermint Essential Oil.
Hi Dr. Phillips! I have been using your system for 2 months and I can tell a great difference in my teeth. My teeth feel like I've gone thru a teeth cleaning each time I brush at night and bad breath is gone even the dreaded morning breath. But I have noticed one change. My molar teeth are more sensitive to hot and cold temperature since I've started the routine. Do you know why this might be and what I can do about it? Thank you for all of the education!!!
Dear Dr Ellie, In the Netherlands, I can only buy xylitol mints, Crest toothpaste and Cool blue listerine. I'm looking for products that approach Closys and ACT, but it's a tricky puzzle comparing ingredients. Could you tell me what should be in them and what absolutely not? I can update you on the products I have found.
Okay, I bought myself some Closys mouth wash, I switched my toothpaste to Crest Cavity, I got some xylitol mints that slowly release in the mouth. They are pretty cool cause they can be stuck to your gum, or cheek. I sleep with one in my mouth every night. I'm vigorously brushing my gums 3 times a day. All of the redness and puffiness in my gums is gone now and they are not bleeding at all anymore. So far it's been about 2 months which amazes me how fast the progress has been. Prior to switching to this regimen my gums bled like crazy even when I wasn't brushing my teeth, they were so red and swollen. I've got many pockets in the 4 and 5 range and my teeth hurt all the way down into my jaw. I wonder if I can heal all of the deep pockets doing what I'm now doing. Anyone else in a similar situation? Did you heal those deep pockets on this system?
Dr. Ellie said it can take 6 months to heal, if they are not bleeding and inflamed then that means your immune system isn't attacking the healthy cells. If you can, try eating fermented food like sauerkraut, those probiotic in it will boost your immune system and thus gum health. Probably look into supplement and eat foods with micronutrient that is related to the gums. It's possible they may reversed, they may not, but having pain free gum is a good start and a good diet can prevent relapse. You should probably watch the channel Evolve Dental Healing since they made a lot of videos that suggest some food and supplement for dental issues.
@@MikeSmith-rj3bu She may very well have said that and I missed it. I've basically been brushing after every meal and swishing with Closys each time I brush.
@@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919 You need more than Closys - it is a system. DrEllie.com for a free downloadable booklet....get the correct brushes - the MOUTHWATCHERS and maybe buy a kit to ensure you have the correct products the first time - then you can match them at the store when you refil.
Looking for a substitute for Closys. Here is a list of the ingredients in Closys. Which is the ingredient which creates the oxygen which Dr Ellie mentions when you rinse with Closys, or do the various ingredients mix together to form the oxygen? WATER, CLORALSTAN (STABILIZED CHLORINE DIOXIDE), TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE, CITRIC ACID, FLAVOR CONTROL: NATURAL MINERAL OIL, NATURAL PEPPERMINT OIL.
I'm in Australia...... so so happy that I found you Dr Ellie! Luckily I can get the products needed online. I use Colgate 'original' toothpaste (which I believe you said, on another video, was fine) - as the Crest taste is disgusting. It would be useful if you could doo a video about what active ingredient/s need to be in toothpaste, to make it work as part of your system.... and if any, in particular, actively work against it. I know you say not to use the nano toothpastes - it would be great to know why? Do they clash with the mouthwashes in your system - or is it the cost? Thanks!
Dr. Ellie, if someone wanted to use a nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste (with xylitol) in it, how would you suggest fitting that into your system? I realize it's a deviation from your system, but I'd like to benefit from some of the new research that's being done on the nano-HA toothpaste. I'm just worried about rinsing it away with the Listerine and ACT.
Why don't you join the doctor's online oral bootcamp to have a full understanding of what step does what and then decide yourself? If Dr.Ellie doesn't see any evidence that HA stuff is the next big thing then how can you, uneducated person, see it, come on her channel and claim some marketing BS here?
@@LoyolaManI tried 5% nano hydroxyapatite tooth tablets after meals with xylitol and nothing got rid of my sensitivity faster than that. It was instant relief for my mouth. I know it's doing great things for my teeth. There's nothing else like it.
Hi Dr. Ellie, I would love your advice please. I have been using most of your system (except for the Listerine cuz I can't handle the taste) for about a year now. It was working really well as my teeth felt very clean and I felt less of a need to floss however, recently I noticed that several of my old amalgam fillings that I had since I was a child are causing me problems. My tongue started to feel extremely dry as if I have glue on my tongue and everything tastes like metal. My assumption is that all of the swishing with xylitol has loosened the amalgam fillings. I am going to the dentist soon to see if that is the problem but wondering if that makes sense to you. I had been swishing/pulling with Xylitol granules after each meal, several times a day. Please share some insight with me if you think this is the cause of the problem and what I should do about it. Thank you!
Question for Dr. Ellie: I have not had a cleaning since beginning your Complete Mouth Care System for about the past 9 months. One of your cautions about dental cleanings is that it will strip away the dental biofilm that is enhanced by the CMCS. Discussing this with my dentist -- a renown global educator -- he told me that the biofilm restores itself ~24 hours after a dental cleaning. What is he (or I) missing?
Tough to say because maybe the dentist just wants to get the money for the cleaning. If you have no plaque and calculus why do you want a cleaning anyway? Just get the xrays and ask if you have any plaque. If none, go about your life without cleanings.
Hi Dr. Ellie. What are your thoughts on using granular xylitol, instead of mints/gum, on toothbrush? Would it be used alone on toothbrush or put on top of toothpaste? Thank you.
I used to just brush my teeth in the morning after brekki and last thing before bed. Min 3 mins long and attentive. No flossing as nothing got stuck. Never in life had coffee, cigarettes or alcohol but brushed with discipline since I was a child. Had no fillings until now. Am 37yo. Noticed some black spot and tiny hole on one bottom back tooth 2 years ago. Had not seen a dentist in 14 years. This one dentist recently said it is only a superficial cavity, a hole, not visible on x ray yet. Recommended cleaning and filling. I wanted to do it myself. Used Listerine cool mint, fluroide toothpaste from grands and xylitol gum and cut out cane sugar for 6 months (with 5 naughty treats) and now my teeth started staining, getting circles of darkening and spots on the front flat surfaces. Google search found mouth washes cause that. I am using whitening toothpaste now but think I have to stop trying myself and get that hole fixed up with a filling as well as my fist professional clean. Chewing gum is not gonna do that, I don't believe any more. Nothing looks different if at all then worse elsewhere on top of the hole. Sorry for being the bad news person.
Hi Dr. Ellie, I’ve been using the mouth care system for almost a year now. And have had good results but I still have some stubborn tartar I can’t seem to get rid of. Can you recommend what I can do for this? I mix xylitol with crest tooth paste when I brush also. I also use the same toothbrush you recommend from mouth watchers I purchased on your online store. Do I need to use more xylitol?
You could try this hack 9 link below) -- also ensure you are doing adequate Mouth Resting 1-2 hours after the xylitol. No sipping or snacking - not even water.... th-cam.com/video/v_QeaCQ8jQ4/w-d-xo.html
I came across your channel a few months ago and been following you since. After my last cleaning which was mid-August, I decided I will try your system, which I've been following for over 3 months now and I am SO happy with the results so far. However, I eat blueberries/berries in general daily because I love them and have noticed the blueberry stains on my teeth more now even though I try to brush them quite well. Any suggestions on what I should do different? Thank you so much
Is OralFlora mouthwash good alternative for closys? It is not available in my region and Ultradex is quite expensive. It has chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite and water only
@@WeAreAllOneNature HAHA! "Cow cream" - this really made me laugh! They are referring to the facial product called cold cream that removes makeup from the skin.
If I need to hv breakfast outside, should I use the system or simply brush my teeth? No issue in using the system before bed. By the way, it works wonders for me. Clean, shinning & no more bleeding. Only used for 1 month
Haha, true. I am ordering from India, and I am grateful that it's atleast available to me, unlike some countries that don't ship certain products. But yea, I agree with you that the prices are sky high, especially closys.
If you need results like others get you must have exact products that the doctor recommended. Otherwise consult your dentist on local substitutes. For Closys you can take Freshclor.
If you have existing tartar on some teeth, will this mouth care system help it dissolve or disappear over time? I have been using your system for about 6 months and love it, but I still have plaque/ tartar.
Ensure you are 1) using the kind of toothbrushes - MOUTHWATCHERS that I recommend 2) You are having enough xylitol each day 6 gm in small 1-2 g amounts at the end of meals 3) You don’t eat or drink ANYTHING - not even water- for 2 hours after the xylitol.
@@dr.elliephillips I have the correct toothbrush, and take plenty of Xylitol spaced out during the day, but sometimes I can only do an hour after the Xylitol, before I have to have water. I do take Xylitol right after it though. Plus, I have it last thing at night before bed.
@@dr.elliephillips 2 hours is now the time frame that we cannot eat/drink? Previously you had said it's just 1 hour. Would you please do an updated video on the full routine? This is very confusing. Thanks
@@TrainerInTraining I am confused about that too! Most times in the afternoon it’s 2 hours and it definitely is at night, but I thought the rule was at least an hour too. That’s kind of tough sometimes, especially when you also have to do the rinse/brush routine twice a day. I really hope this gets clarified!
Dr ellie what are your thoughts on lanap treatment?? Im on week 4 of your complete mouth care system teeth feel nice amd clean all the time but am getting some gum Recession 😔
@@JBXXR baking soda has an abrasiveness of RDA 7. Crest starts out abrasiveness of RDA 100+. This makes Crest toothpaste 15 times more abrasive than baking soda.
@@MikeSmith-rj3bu I don't recall now which video comments she wrote that in, but she was answering someone else's question. I do remember it was a later video rather than an earlier video, if you ever want to put in the work to search for it.
Hi Dr Ellie, thank you so much for all this information. I am from South Africa. I have Periodontal disease. As you stated most of your products in your system is not available here. I would love an alternative list. We have two versions of Listerine, Listerine Cool Mint (include alcohol) & Listerine Cool Mint Milder Taste without alcohol but have sodium laurel sulphate). Which one should I use? Is Closys also called Ultradex? Thanking you in advance.
The right product version you may find following links from the video description section. Ultradex is just another ClO2 mouth rinse that might be used instead of Closys especially when you limit your exposure to googling that much
Closys = Ultradex ACT = Fluoriguard Xylitol = Peppersmith You can download a free booklet at DrEllie.com and there is also an oral health video bootcamp you may find useful.
No, it is not OK to substitute any other products. Dr. Ellie says it has to be the original Listerine (that has alcohol in it), in either Regular or Cool Mint flavors only. It's OK to use the Listerine with alcohol because you only swish with it for 30-45 seconds, and then the next product, ACT, rinses the residue out of the mouth so no alcohol remains behind.
For people who cannot find or tolerate ACT, can we substitute it with CariFree Maintenance? The ingredients are: Active Ingredients: Sodium Fluoride 0.05%, Inactive Ingredients: Menthol, Natural Flavors, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Water, Xylitol
She talks about that. And that happened to me too. You use the toothbrush she recommends, and brush vigorously with a good amount of paste on those teeth, when you start your brushing. She said don’t be scared to really get in there
Fluoride is in the soil around the world. I suggest moderating how much we consume....which means being aware that teas have high levels of fluoride - and I do not ever drink commercial iced tea for that reason. Application on teeth - only by dilute concentrations - never strong. Never stannous fluoride - a tin-based compound. I am very specific. Only topical use of dilute concentrations of sodium fluoride. We should definitely end the artificial fluoridation of drinking water in America....for sure. I have been an activist to stop artificial fluoridation of water for decades.....we are harming young children. For more info I have a chapter in the first edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye/ Amazon.
I did check , Pronamel Sensodyne has 0.25% sodium fluoride (0.15% w/v fluouride ion) BUT the toothpaste dentist recommended for my husband last trip is prescription JUST RIGHT 5000 1.1% SODIUM FLUORIDE w / 10% Xylitol. Like the Xylitol, but isn't that way too much FLUORIDE??
I wanted to say thank you for the system. I've been doing everything now for about a month and my teeth feel really good. There's no plaque build up as far as I can tell but the only thing is I'm wondering about halitosis. I don't think it has completely cured that, can you help me?
Doing some stuff systematically doesn't mean you do the system. For whatever reason people skip some of the steps or doctor guidelines but claim they do the system
I'm a normal 33 year old who brushes regularly - I've had 3 pulled teeth and currently going through over 17 fillings. I'm going to try this system (read books already) Weird thing tho - the fluoride mouthwash makes my teeth feel dry. It is alcohol free. Is this a normal experience?
No, her system does not fix or remove old fillings. What it does is strengthen the remainder of the tooth to try to keep you out of the dentist's chair for any future work, and it also can help your existing fillings to last a whole lot longer, even up to a lifetime.
Do her program as she suggests if you want to try her program. She carefully put it together intentionally so everything works together and in harmony. If u use the products as they recommend on the label they are assuming that is the only mouth rinse you are using
Dr. Ellie, I started using your system but listerine makes my teeth super sensitive so I had to cut it out. I was using the exact one u recommend. Any suggestions?
Reduce the Listerine time until you feel you can keep going for longer time, and after rinse with the ACT mouthwash she recommends half the dosage the bottle instructions states for 5min. That worked for me. Now I use the Listerine Original for 40 secs.
@@Sugas_Girr She meant to say 5 seconds....even a few seconds will help you get where you are going. Shorten the time - and wait until your biofilm gets healthier and more protective. Here is a link to a video about this: drelliephillips.teachable.com/courses/oral-health-bootcamp/lectures/10954216
Hi Dr Ellie. I live in the UK and am looking forward to trying your system to reverse staining and plaque build-up once I figure out the product equivalents I need. Using an electric toothbrush, nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste and a low-carbohydrate diet is simply not enough. I've had a large amalgam filling for 20 years which I hope fails in the coming years so that I can explore other options (such as a gold filling) out of necessity rather than choice, risking death of the nerve and the need for an implant. I worry your system will preserve the tooth and filling to the point it will never fail - what are your thoughts?
@@ilhamazad It's a concern, but I'll still go ahead with the system because I need to do something. The things I mentioned I'm currently doing, plus flossing, simply aren't helping. Hopefully the amalgam still fails. I hope her system is working well for you.
What if we use a listerine-like mouth wash instead of closys before brushing the our teeth? That is: use the same mouth wash both before brushing and after (because the mouth wash is usually way cheaper than Closys). Would this have the same effect?
No don't do that. Listerine is acidic, if you do it before brushing your teeth you will be brushing off your enamel. The main point of the closys would be to de-acidify your mouth. IF you can't use closys or anything like it, you're better off rinsing with water but you wont have the same effect.
I have purchased your books and your recommended regime. I am confused if we are supposed to wait a half hour after the Closys Rinse and then brush and then rinse with Listerine and wait a half hour and then rinse with ACT? Do we immediately Do everything consecutively?
I've never heard Dr Ellie say that - and I've watched all of her videos. Where did you hear that? I've heard her talk about the whole system only taking less than 5 minutes. I hope that helps, in case she doesn't answer you.
Greetings from Ukraine! Unfortunately, we have no of the components of your mouth care system in Ukraine (Crest, Act etc.). There are Sensodine, Signal, Colgate toothpastes and Listerine Cool Mint here. What would you recommend to use as an alternative?
@@LoyolaMan Excuse me, but maybe you don't know that there is the war in Ukraine for almost three years. And Google results are not correct because there is no bomb blowing on the Internet. Not all Internet results are available in Ukraine right now, except those I mentioned above.
Here in Iceland we only have Listerine cool mint, and granulated xylitol sugar. What kind of mouthwash can I use for the rest? And toothpaste? For ex. we have the brands “Oral-B” and “G-U-M” do any of their products fit the criteria?
I’ve been using your system for almost a year now but lately I and my hygienist have been noticing my teeth getting discoloured instead of whitening. Is it possible that my enamel is too soft and the system is too harsh on my teeth? I drink orange pekoe on weekdays but my teeth never became discoloured until now. Should I switch to a nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste instead? Thank you!
Systematically doing some stuff is not equal to doing the doctor's system. In most cases people just use what they want whenever they want and get what they deserve
She also recommends using two toothbrushes, one for the morning brush, and another at night. Letting them thoroughly dry between uses is beneficial for fighting bacteria.
Dr.Ellie, you don't recommend flossing to remove food particles from between teeth? Won't the food rot and cause bad bacteria to thrive even with xylitol several times a day and Listerine twice a day.
Dr. Ellie calls Listerine the "liquid flosser" and says that it gets between the teeth far better than string floss can. It should be vigorously swished in the mouth, not just barely moved around.
I’m using my sonicare toothbrush, but I’m still getting lots of brown staining between my teeth. I also have receding gums as I’m 69 years old. I’ve been using your system for about four months and overall my teeth are not as sensitive as they were, but I’m upset that they’re so stained. I know the enamel is thinner, but I thought that it would help that. What should I do?
Hello 👋 I'm from Karachi Pakistan i have yellowish teeth and can't afford your complete mouthcare currently I'm using Colgate anticavity toothpaste which is almost similar to crest because it's also contain sodium floride plz suggest me what i can do for elimination of plaque i also bought xylitol today in bubble gum form i have tooth cavity in my one molar teeth please suggest me affordable mouthcare system for me
I'm not clear on how to brush. I understand stimulating the gums but is that all we are doing? Are we brushing the actual teeth? Are we trying to angle the brush so that it gets in between the gum and tooth (like the BASS method)? Thank you
I do both. Because I saw her commenting elsewhere that if you start to get a brownish tint while your teeth start healing and expressing the plaque and whatnot, you need to focus brushing vigorously on those teeth. It did help. So now I brush the teeth, then massage the gums. It always looks like I flossed after, even though I didn’t. You REALLY need the tooth brush she recommends.
@@Mfay4 Yes, I have the toothbrush she recommends. I'm curious about the brown tint. I had that when I was doing a zero carb diet for 8 weeks. I thought it might have been due to being low in vitamin d since I wasn't consuming dairy.
@@mjmj4962 not sure. Im thinking there could be multiple reasons it can occur. I wish I could remember her exact comment :-/ it did appear it’s not uncommon though.

I have to agree, I used only crest, listerine, and act ať the beginning (and xylitol, of course), since I was a little afraid of using closys due to negative commentary by many people. Nevertheless, I gave it a try and will continue using closys, too, as it made a HUGE difference especially as regards the gum health (no gum sensitivity or bleeding any more). Just use closys strictly for one minute only, and you will get the maximum benefit 😊
@@lenka1547 It is difficult to persuade everyone to TRY the complete system...and FEEL how their teeth FEEL.
Then I suggest, once your mouth is healthy, go and experiment with all the things so many people think they want to try...
The problem is that without a "gold standard" you have no idea which product is working and which one is not.
Believe me, I have tried so many different ways to "clean my teeth" over the years -
The conclusion from me: this is the only way I do it.
With the EAXCT products - not store bought or children's - just because they "say" they have the same ingredients....for some reason it all makes a difference. Even the kind of brush you use....
Thanks for your comment.
Just got back from my first dentist visit yesterday after using your product for the last three or four months. I had not been able to get my teeth cleaned for two years. The dentist complimented me on how clean my teeth were and I had no dental issues whatsoever.! Thanks so much for making this information available on TH-cam.
Your system has stopped my teeth from breaking, is reversing my cavities, and regrowing my gums. Thank you!!
Did you have deep pocketing?
Do you have photo documentation of regrowing your gums? This is very questionable
Fake
Hi all, I have been doing Dr. Ellie’s mouth care system for 7 months and my teeth results have been dramatic. Previously I had a variety of teeth health concerns, but being on this system has completely reversed that. My teeth are whiter, the gums no longer bleed and have tightened up. And it’s such an affordable and easy system and the impact on my teeth has literally been a miracle. So thankful for Dr. Ellie sharing this wisdom.
With 9 months on Dr.Ellie's complete mouth care system so far, my teeth and gums look and feel better than they ever have. I've gone from quarterly cleanings to 6 month cleaning, which will probably become 12 months soon. _Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye_ was a very appropriate title for your first book!
Almost 5 years in, it's a lifesaver that I happily use 2x a day🦷
I have gotten amazing results from your system in only a few weeks. My toothpain is gone, and I believe the two cavities I had are healing. I cannot thank you enough for your system and sharing it with everyone. It is exactly what I needed. 💖🙏 Thank you.
What should i do ?
When do I need to brush after meal and the xylitol or need to wait for 1 hr to brush my teeth?
I've been on your system now for 9 weeks. I have a daily diary to keep me accountable and on track. I make note of my morning and evening protocols along with what i'm consuming and when I take my xylitol. Its been a real game changer for me. I cant wait to see my hygenist in January. I'm also getting my grandkids on board after breakfast with some xylitol. I purchased your book and shared it with my daughter in law to read. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie! HUGS from Canada.
I can tell you what will happen in January. You hygienist will insist on dental cleaning plus might unnecessarily Xray you.
What you were saying about your skin resonated with me. Every time I went to the dentist I would be told that my gum recession was my fault because I wasn't doing enough to keep them clean. In between appointments, I would buy expensive electronic toothbrushes, waterpiks, and floss daily only to be told the same thing again. I tried pulling oil and that did make an improvement, but it only went so far. Luckily I found your mouthcare system. My teeth are now smooth, whiter and the gum pockets that I had are flattening. The Dr. Plotka's manual toothbrush is better than my high priced electronic toothbrush and it replaces flossing. I haven't been to to dentist in over a year because I know I've solved the problem and I don't want them to pick at my healed gumline. Thank you so much for saving my teeth and not believing that gum disease is caused by laziness.
Thank you Dr Ellie I started your complete mouth care system a month ago and i am seeing good progress with my teeth
I am officially on week 17 (11/30/2024) of the complete system and have had incredible results with my gum tissue and sensitivity. No streptococcus mutans, no plaque; nothing except smooth teeth. I can tell that my teeth are significantly stronger in density. I try to keep my mouth alkalinity at a constant, and this seems to be paying off. Thanks, Doctor Phillips! Love from the United States! Happy Holidays to all too!
How do you know that you do not have streptococcus mutans?
@@riumudamc4686 You can take a home test through a company called Bristle.
I use a slightly more reliable test from Oral DNA that needs to be ordered by a dentist.
@@dr.elliephillips When should I brush my teeth after meals and xylitol or need to wait for 1 hr to brush?
Your system has made a great difference! Even my dentist noticed
I started doing the xylitol 1 week ago with my 6 and 7 year olds. We are waiting on some other products from the system, but in 1 week, my kids gums are doing better. Their gums were bleeding in one area on each of them, and they are almost not bleeding now. And it hurt so much when I was brushinv their teeth, they would cry. Literally after 1 week, they no longer are crying or having pain, and like I said, very little bleeding. I am AMAZED! Can't wait to do the entire regimine. I could cry happy tears myself! I felt terrible every time I was brushing their teeth. Not now. I am soooo excited about this!
Xylitol is truelly wonderful, i've have my gums also much much better, it took awhile, since dentists kept drilling & pulling.... i had to go learn & find info myself, good luck from Belgium
@@chrisnam1603do you know if xylitol can help my children with cavities ? Because she cant use the rince in the program since she will swallow
So wish I heard your messaging decade ago. But better late than never. Thank you so much for your generosity.
Hadn't I discovered Dr. Phillip's mouth care system video six months ago, I would have undergone Invisalign and implant redone due to gum recession as biting and implant placement issue accusations from different dentists. I was skeptical with non-flossing and Xylitol gums but it has saved my gum recession from molar teeth and one implant. As gum recession is no longer an issue, I no longer have any irritation sensation on one of my molar implants. I'd say during the first two months, I still have that sensation and I had to chew Xylitol gum consistently through out the day thus it curbs that sensation (amazing). Now I only chew it after a meal. Thank you Dr. Phillip as you have saved me from lots of turmoils and money!!!❤❤❤
Don't chew. Put it in your cheek for it to melt down.
Did your gum recession reverse itself or just stop getting worse?
My fun recession reversed completely. If that helps you in your journey
It does. Thanks.
@@yourethebest9377are you claiming that your gums regrew or the recession simply stop? There is a big difference and honesty would be appreciated in your response. Do you have photos?
Thank you, Dr. Ellie -
I just had my dental appointment after using your System for 6 months, & without prompting, the hygienist stated that my teeth were pretty clean...& my dentist seemed shocked at how well my gums looked. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge & expertise. 😇
I sent my daughter and son your system. I asked my daughter yesterday how it was going. She said, “fine, but I don’t use xylitol very often because it can damage the liver.” She’s a nurse and thinks she knows every thing. I simply googled xylitol side effects and sent her the article. Of course it said there’s no harm from xylitol. I, personally, never leave the house without some in my pocket.
She may have seen a link for xylitol and dogs. Don’t give xylitol to dogs - it can harm their livers - just like chocolate and avocado
2 weeks in, already seeing huge improvements. Never seen my gums so healthy. Every time I brush and follow the steps, I get WAY better results than flossing. I can see through every nook and cranny of my teeth.
Just getting all sugar and grains
out of my diet did great at getting started with healing for me! I had to get 13 amalgam fillings out to improve my health! They were killing me!
You helped my family so much! 😂I just wish I found you years ago. ❤ better now than never! 🥰🙏
Best mouth care system ever...Thank you. 😊
Thank you so much for what your system has done for me!!! ❤❤❤
I’m a total adept since I heard your first TH-cam about a year ago. Still waiting for my gums to grow back 😅But I feel like I’ve stopped the process, which is already amazing. Thank you. 🙏🏿
Dr. Ellie , you can’t leave us without knowing what those three skin products were now :)
She said it was the Clinique brand cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Clinique is sold at a makeup counter in department stores. I'm sure you can also buy it online.
Dr. Ellie, we used your whole system for about 6 months and noticed improvement in our teeth. They were getting whiter and my daughter said that her gums (seemingly) looked to have gone back down, since they've been recessing for a while now. After about those 6 months, I noticed I was getting brownish-black tar-looking stains between my teeth where they meet the gums. My wife got scared and they would not come off even using toothpaste. It might have been my fault. I was keeping the Listerine in my mouth for longer than the burning stage.
We stopped using the whole system when we started noticing symptoms that we never got before until we started your teeth regiment. My daughters noticed that their nervous systems would act up (they would get the jitters out of the blue, almost as if they were getting panic attacks without the panic attack, if that makes sense). Among other symptoms.
Another thing I would like to ask about is the Listerine lawsuits/allegations(?) about the mouthwash causing cancer, ESPECIALLY when used twice a day. Other dentists are advising against using it, especially twice a day. What are your thoughts about this?
F
Could it be that your gums have been inflamed. When the inflammation goes down using this system, the puffiness settles in the gums and it tightens. And spots that were previously hidden by the puffy gums can be seen.
Hello. I was reading in a book on dental health that odontoblasts, which line the dentin layer just underneath the enamel of teeth, produce osteocalcin. This osteocalcin needs to be activated by vitamin K2 before it can incorporate calcium into the dentin matrix. Could you do a video on vitamin K2 and its co-factors (such as vitamin D3, magnesium and boron) and explain how these compounds help strengthen teeth?
Knowledge is power. Thank you for this information.
Hi Dr. Ellie, is the Oxyfresh Fluoride mouthwash an adequate alternative to the act Fluoride mouthwash that you recommend? It has the 0.05% sodium fluoride in it and the inactive ingredients are: Water (Aqua), Xylitol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Phosphate, Flavor*, Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide (Oxygene®), Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid. *Contains Peppermint Essential Oil.
Hi Dr. Phillips! I have been using your system for 2 months and I can tell a great difference in my teeth. My teeth feel like I've gone thru a teeth cleaning each time I brush at night and bad breath is gone even the dreaded morning breath.
But I have noticed one change. My molar teeth are more sensitive to hot and cold temperature since I've started the routine. Do you know why this might be and what I can do about it?
Thank you for all of the education!!!
Dear Dr Ellie,
In the Netherlands, I can only buy xylitol mints, Crest toothpaste and Cool blue listerine. I'm looking for products that approach Closys and ACT, but it's a tricky puzzle comparing ingredients. Could you tell me what should be in them and what absolutely not? I can update you on the products I have found.
I simply order the recommended products from Amazon USA to EU. For xilitol the PUR gums spearmint flavor without glycerol.
@@rudolfnn yes, you're right, but it's very expensive and I can;t order ACT ....
@@rudolfnn well. right now I can order ACT, yesterday Amazon told me that they were not shipping to the Netherlands ....
Thanks Doctor ❤🎉
Okay, I bought myself some Closys mouth wash, I switched my toothpaste to Crest Cavity, I got some xylitol mints that slowly release in the mouth. They are pretty cool cause they can be stuck to your gum, or cheek. I sleep with one in my mouth every night. I'm vigorously brushing my gums 3 times a day. All of the redness and puffiness in my gums is gone now and they are not bleeding at all anymore. So far it's been about 2 months which amazes me how fast the progress has been. Prior to switching to this regimen my gums bled like crazy even when I wasn't brushing my teeth, they were so red and swollen. I've got many pockets in the 4 and 5 range and my teeth hurt all the way down into my jaw. I wonder if I can heal all of the deep pockets doing what I'm now doing. Anyone else in a similar situation? Did you heal those deep pockets on this system?
Dr. Ellie said it can take 6 months to heal, if they are not bleeding and inflamed then that means your immune system isn't attacking the healthy cells. If you can, try eating fermented food like sauerkraut, those probiotic in it will boost your immune system and thus gum health. Probably look into supplement and eat foods with micronutrient that is related to the gums.
It's possible they may reversed, they may not, but having pain free gum is a good start and a good diet can prevent relapse.
You should probably watch the channel Evolve Dental Healing since they made a lot of videos that suggest some food and supplement for dental issues.
You brush 3 times a day? I thought Ellie said 2 times a day. Keep doing what you're doing, just curious.
@@MikeSmith-rj3bu She may very well have said that and I missed it. I've basically been brushing after every meal and swishing with Closys each time I brush.
@@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919 You need more than Closys - it is a system.
DrEllie.com for a free downloadable booklet....get the correct brushes - the MOUTHWATCHERS and maybe buy a kit to ensure you have the correct products the first time - then you can match them at the store when you refil.
Yes, same here
Looking for a substitute for Closys. Here is a list of the ingredients in Closys. Which is the ingredient which creates the oxygen which Dr Ellie mentions when you rinse with Closys, or do the various ingredients mix together to form the oxygen? WATER, CLORALSTAN (STABILIZED CHLORINE DIOXIDE), TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE, CITRIC ACID, FLAVOR CONTROL: NATURAL MINERAL OIL, NATURAL PEPPERMINT OIL.
Thank you : )
I'm in Australia...... so so happy that I found you Dr Ellie! Luckily I can get the products needed online. I use Colgate 'original' toothpaste (which I believe you said, on another video, was fine) - as the Crest taste is disgusting. It would be useful if you could doo a video about what active ingredient/s need to be in toothpaste, to make it work as part of your system.... and if any, in particular, actively work against it. I know you say not to use the nano toothpastes - it would be great to know why? Do they clash with the mouthwashes in your system - or is it the cost? Thanks!
It is all answered. Watch videos, read doctor's comments. F your spam
@@LoyolaMan Why are you so rude.... what an awful way to live your life!
@@HazelHenry25 why nonames like you live thinking they are eligible for advisory? Lazy, inattentive pupils call out a teacher to pet them
Dr. Ellie, if someone wanted to use a nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste (with xylitol) in it, how would you suggest fitting that into your system?
I realize it's a deviation from your system, but I'd like to benefit from some of the new research that's being done on the nano-HA toothpaste. I'm just worried about rinsing it away with the Listerine and ACT.
Why don't you join the doctor's online oral bootcamp to have a full understanding of what step does what and then decide yourself? If Dr.Ellie doesn't see any evidence that HA stuff is the next big thing then how can you, uneducated person, see it, come on her channel and claim some marketing BS here?
@@LoyolaManI tried 5% nano hydroxyapatite tooth tablets after meals with xylitol and nothing got rid of my sensitivity faster than that. It was instant relief for my mouth. I know it's doing great things for my teeth. There's nothing else like it.
Hi Dr. Ellie, I would love your advice please. I have been using most of your system (except for the Listerine cuz I can't handle the taste) for about a year now. It was working really well as my teeth felt very clean and I felt less of a need to floss however, recently I noticed that several of my old amalgam fillings that I had since I was a child are causing me problems. My tongue started to feel extremely dry as if I have glue on my tongue and everything tastes like metal. My assumption is that all of the swishing with xylitol has loosened the amalgam fillings. I am going to the dentist soon to see if that is the problem but wondering if that makes sense to you. I had been swishing/pulling with Xylitol granules after each meal, several times a day. Please share some insight with me if you think this is the cause of the problem and what I should do about it. Thank you!
Probably the Closys, because of the little oxidation effect from chloride d.
Question for Dr. Ellie: I have not had a cleaning since beginning your Complete Mouth Care System for about the past 9 months. One of your cautions about dental cleanings is that it will strip away the dental biofilm that is enhanced by the CMCS. Discussing this with my dentist -- a renown global educator -- he told me that the biofilm restores itself ~24 hours after a dental cleaning. What is he (or I) missing?
My dentist said the same thing...
And what if your saliva contains bad bacteria?
Tough to say because maybe the dentist just wants to get the money for the cleaning. If you have no plaque and calculus why do you want a cleaning anyway? Just get the xrays and ask if you have any plaque. If none, go about your life without cleanings.
Hi Dr. Ellie. What are your thoughts on using granular xylitol, instead of mints/gum, on toothbrush? Would it be used alone on toothbrush or put on top of toothpaste? Thank you.
I used to just brush my teeth in the morning after brekki and last thing before bed. Min 3 mins long and attentive. No flossing as nothing got stuck. Never in life had coffee, cigarettes or alcohol but brushed with discipline since I was a child. Had no fillings until now. Am 37yo. Noticed some black spot and tiny hole on one bottom back tooth 2 years ago. Had not seen a dentist in 14 years. This one dentist recently said it is only a superficial cavity, a hole, not visible on x ray yet. Recommended cleaning and filling. I wanted to do it myself. Used Listerine cool mint, fluroide toothpaste from grands and xylitol gum and cut out cane sugar for 6 months (with 5 naughty treats) and now my teeth started staining, getting circles of darkening and spots on the front flat surfaces. Google search found mouth washes cause that. I am using whitening toothpaste now but think I have to stop trying myself and get that hole fixed up with a filling as well as my fist professional clean. Chewing gum is not gonna do that, I don't believe any more. Nothing looks different if at all then worse elsewhere on top of the hole. Sorry for being the bad news person.
any alternatives to Crest?
Hi Dr. Ellie, I’ve been using the mouth care system for almost a year now. And have had good results but I still have some stubborn tartar I can’t seem to get rid of. Can you recommend what I can do for this? I mix xylitol with crest tooth paste when I brush also. I also use the same toothbrush you recommend from mouth watchers I purchased on your online store. Do I need to use more xylitol?
You could try this hack 9 link below) -- also ensure you are doing adequate Mouth Resting 1-2 hours after the xylitol.
No sipping or snacking - not even water....

Hey. Is your mouthcare system available in India? If not, what should be done?"
Probably not as a kit. But you may buy all its components by yourself. Google may help
If I need to hv breakfast outside, should I use the system or simply brush my teeth? No issue in using the system before bed. By the way, it works wonders for me. Clean, shinning & no more bleeding. Only used for 1 month
Does this methods works with implants or post surgery like bone grafting?
Ma'am your full mouth care system except Listerine is very expensive in India. Is there any other way or substitute? Pls do reply
Haha, true. I am ordering from India, and I am grateful that it's atleast available to me, unlike some countries that don't ship certain products. But yea, I agree with you that the prices are sky high, especially closys.
@ilhamazad yes , they are available but too much expensive
If you need results like others get you must have exact products that the doctor recommended. Otherwise consult your dentist on local substitutes. For Closys you can take Freshclor.
If you have existing tartar on some teeth, will this mouth care system help it dissolve or disappear over time? I have been using your system for about 6 months and love it, but I still have plaque/ tartar.
No.
Ensure you are 1) using the kind of toothbrushes - MOUTHWATCHERS that I recommend 2) You are having enough xylitol each day 6 gm in small 1-2 g amounts at the end of meals 3) You don’t eat or drink ANYTHING - not even water- for 2 hours after the xylitol.
@@dr.elliephillips I have the correct toothbrush, and take plenty of Xylitol spaced out during the day, but sometimes I can only do an hour after the Xylitol, before I have to have water. I do take Xylitol right after it though. Plus, I have it last thing at night before bed.
@@dr.elliephillips 2 hours is now the time frame that we cannot eat/drink? Previously you had said it's just 1 hour. Would you please do an updated video on the full routine? This is very confusing. Thanks
@@TrainerInTraining I am confused about that too! Most times in the afternoon it’s 2 hours and it definitely is at night, but I thought the rule was at least an hour too.

What is bad about neem, baking soda, or peroxide?
Baking soda is abrasive and Peroxide damages tooth enamel if used everyday.
@@JBXXR baking soda has an abrasiveness of RDA 7.
Crest starts out abrasiveness of RDA 100+.
This makes Crest toothpaste 15 times more abrasive than baking soda.
Dr. Ellie has said that baking soda and peroxide dissolve the protective biofilm in the mouth.
@@SunrayStar how does baking soda do that?

Hi Dr Ellie, thank you so much for all this information. I am from South Africa. I have Periodontal disease. As you stated most of your products in your system is not available here. I would love an alternative list. We have two versions of Listerine, Listerine Cool Mint (include alcohol) & Listerine Cool Mint Milder Taste without alcohol but have sodium laurel sulphate). Which one should I use? Is Closys also called Ultradex? Thanking you in advance.
The right product version you may find following links from the video description section. Ultradex is just another ClO2 mouth rinse that might be used instead of Closys especially when you limit your exposure to googling that much
Would love to know what products to use/available in the UK please ?
Closys = Ultradex
ACT = Fluoriguard
Xylitol = Peppersmith
You can download a free booklet at DrEllie.com and there is also an oral health video bootcamp you may find useful.
Can you address the claims that mouthwash raises blood pressure?
Study the content of a channel first
That could be an advantage for me since my BP is always low😂. And after having used her system for a year, it is still the lowest (100/60).
Also, is it okay to use the Listerine mouthwash alcohol-free? If not then what is the alternative that I can use to avoid alcohol products?
No, it is not OK to substitute any other products. Dr. Ellie says it has to be the original Listerine (that has alcohol in it), in either Regular or Cool Mint flavors only. It's OK to use the Listerine with alcohol because you only swish with it for 30-45 seconds, and then the next product, ACT, rinses the residue out of the mouth so no alcohol remains behind.
Dr Ellie, in the recommended toothbrushes section of your web site there is a cigar cutter called Alaska Bear is listed there. This must be a mistake.
It’s for the Miswak stick I recommend if you can’t use my system.
@@dr.elliephillips how to use miswak?

She talks about that. And that happened to me too. You use the toothbrush she recommends, and brush vigorously with a good amount of paste on those teeth, when you start your brushing. She said don’t be scared to really get in there
Floride?? Good or bad?
Fluoride is in the soil around the world.
I suggest moderating how much we consume....which means being aware that teas have high levels of fluoride - and I do not ever drink commercial iced tea for that reason.
Application on teeth - only by dilute concentrations - never strong.
Never stannous fluoride - a tin-based compound.
I am very specific.
Only topical use of dilute concentrations of sodium fluoride.
We should definitely end the artificial fluoridation of drinking water in America....for sure.
I have been an activist to stop artificial fluoridation of water for decades.....we are harming young children.
For more info I have a chapter in the first edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye/ Amazon.
I did check , Pronamel Sensodyne has 0.25% sodium fluoride (0.15% w/v fluouride ion) BUT the toothpaste dentist recommended for my husband last trip is prescription JUST RIGHT 5000 1.1% SODIUM FLUORIDE w / 10% Xylitol. Like the Xylitol, but isn't that way too much FLUORIDE??
@ it’s not my recommendation
It's not your recommendation, but is 1.1% flouride TOXIC?
What shuld i use if i can't use Chewing gum?
Xylitol granules or mints.
Zellies mints are delicious - and they are on sale this week.

Does your system remove and fix those old fillings overtime?
No, her system does not fix or remove old fillings. What it does is strengthen the remainder of the tooth to try to keep you out of the dentist's chair for any future work, and it also can help your existing fillings to last a whole lot longer, even up to a lifetime.
Hello i have a question on the act mouth wash it says once daily do i stick with that or two times a day? I am buying the products
Do her program as she suggests if you want to try her program. She carefully put it together intentionally so everything works together and in harmony. If u use the products as they recommend on the label they are assuming that is the only mouth rinse you are using
Dr. Ellie, I started using your system but listerine makes my teeth super sensitive so I had to cut it out. I was using the exact one u recommend. Any suggestions?
Reduce the Listerine time until you feel you can keep going for longer time, and after rinse with the ACT mouthwash she recommends half the dosage the bottle instructions states for 5min. That worked for me. Now I use the Listerine Original for 40 secs.

Hi Dr Ellie. I live in the UK and am looking forward to trying your system to reverse staining and plaque build-up once I figure out the product equivalents I need. Using an electric toothbrush, nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste and a low-carbohydrate diet is simply not enough.
I've had a large amalgam filling for 20 years which I hope fails in the coming years so that I can explore other options (such as a gold filling) out of necessity rather than choice, risking death of the nerve and the need for an implant. I worry your system will preserve the tooth and filling to the point it will never fail - what are your thoughts?
That's a conundrum for sure. I thought I was the only one with such neurodivergent thinking 😅
@@ilhamazad It's a concern, but I'll still go ahead with the system because I need to do something. The things I mentioned I'm currently doing, plus flossing, simply aren't helping. Hopefully the amalgam still fails. I hope her system is working well for you.
What if we use a listerine-like mouth wash instead of closys before brushing the our teeth?
That is: use the same mouth wash both before brushing and after (because the mouth wash is usually way cheaper than Closys). Would this have the same effect?
No don't do that. Listerine is acidic, if you do it before brushing your teeth you will be brushing off your enamel. The main point of the closys would be to de-acidify your mouth. IF you can't use closys or anything like it, you're better off rinsing with water but you wont have the same effect.
Can one do this after a deep cleaning?
Its way better to use my system before having a cleaning - but better late than never :)
Can you use your complete mouth care system if you have veneers? I have 20 veneers due to tetracycline stain as a child. Thank you
@@malibusunshine3525 Yes one of the top cosmetic dentists in America recommends it to his patients. DrEllie.com
Thank you

I have purchased your books and your recommended regime. I am confused if we are supposed to wait a half hour after the Closys Rinse and then brush and then rinse with Listerine and wait a half hour and then rinse with ACT? Do we immediately Do everything consecutively?
I've never heard Dr Ellie say that - and I've watched all of her videos. Where did you hear that? I've heard her talk about the whole system only taking less than 5 minutes. I hope that helps, in case she doesn't answer you.
She instructs you to not eat or drink for a half hour after you use the complete mouth care system. Maybe that what you saw and misunderstood.
You use everything consecutively.
Greetings from Ukraine! Unfortunately, we have no of the components of your mouth care system in Ukraine (Crest, Act etc.). There are Sensodine, Signal, Colgate toothpastes and Listerine Cool Mint here. What would you recommend to use as an alternative?
There is a group in Norway who may be able to help you.

Why do I see google results in your country from another part of the world and you are stealing others time denying google?
@@LoyolaMan Excuse me, but maybe you don't know that there is the war in Ukraine for almost three years. And Google results are not correct because there is no bomb blowing on the Internet. Not all Internet results are available in Ukraine right now, except those I mentioned above.
Do you have evidence in the form of before and after photographs?
Here in Iceland we only have Listerine cool mint, and granulated xylitol sugar. What kind of mouthwash can I use for the rest? And toothpaste?
For ex. we have the brands “Oral-B” and “G-U-M” do any of their products fit the criteria?
I’ve been using your system for almost a year now but lately I and my hygienist have been noticing my teeth getting discoloured instead of whitening. Is it possible that my enamel is too soft and the system is too harsh on my teeth? I drink orange pekoe on weekdays but my teeth never became discoloured until now. Should I switch to a nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste instead? Thank you!
Systematically doing some stuff is not equal to doing the doctor's system. In most cases people just use what they want whenever they want and get what they deserve
What does fluoride do specifically?
Replaces lost minerals in tooth enamel, and makes teeth more resistant to acid. It can also help to reduce cavities.
Plz Dr can u tell me how often I need to change my tooth brush? Plz anybody? Thank u Dr. U the best 👌 👍 ❤
She says every four months.
Every 3 months. Everyone advices to change every 3 months.
For electric toothbrushes and regular
Tongue scrapers as well.
Thank u.
Dr. Ellie says to replace brushes every 3-4 months (2-3 months when fighting cavities or gum problems).
She also recommends using two toothbrushes, one for the morning brush, and another at night. Letting them thoroughly dry between uses is beneficial for fighting bacteria.
Dr.Ellie, you don't recommend flossing to remove food particles from between teeth? Won't the food rot and cause bad bacteria to thrive even with xylitol several times a day and Listerine twice a day.
She recommends interproximal brushes.
Dr. Ellie calls Listerine the "liquid flosser" and says that it gets between the teeth far better than string floss can. It should be vigorously swished in the mouth, not just barely moved around.

I’m using my sonicare toothbrush, but I’m still getting lots of brown staining between my teeth. I also have receding gums as I’m 69 years old. I’ve been using your system for about four months and overall my teeth are not as sensitive as they were, but I’m upset that they’re so stained. I know the enamel is thinner, but I thought that it would help that. What should I do?
Hello 👋 I'm from Karachi Pakistan i have yellowish teeth and can't afford your complete mouthcare currently I'm using Colgate anticavity toothpaste which is almost similar to crest because it's also contain sodium floride plz suggest me what i can do for elimination of plaque i also bought xylitol today in bubble gum form i have tooth cavity in my one molar teeth please suggest me affordable mouthcare system for me
I am from Romania. Where can I buy this complete mouth care system kit ?
Kit is probably the hardest thing to get but you can buy all the products or its alternatives from different internet resources
What can you do if you can't find all the products if you live in another country?
I'm not clear on how to brush. I understand stimulating the gums but is that all we are doing? Are we brushing the actual teeth? Are we trying to angle the brush so that it gets in between the gum and tooth (like the BASS method)? Thank you
I do both. Because I saw her commenting elsewhere that if you start to get a brownish tint while your teeth start healing and expressing the plaque and whatnot, you need to focus brushing vigorously on those teeth. It did help. So now I brush the teeth, then massage the gums. It always looks like I flossed after, even though I didn’t. You REALLY need the tooth brush she recommends.
@@Mfay4 Yes, I have the toothbrush she recommends. I'm curious about the brown tint. I had that when I was doing a zero carb diet for 8 weeks. I thought it might have been due to being low in vitamin d since I wasn't consuming dairy.
@@mjmj4962 not sure. Im thinking there could be multiple reasons it can occur. I wish I could remember her exact comment :-/ it did appear it’s not uncommon though. I just started brushing harder than I normally do (because I thought you were supposed to be gentle until I saw her comment) and that helped a lot.
Why do u prefer NAF and not MFP? they said theyre both equally effective flouride.
Is it OK to suck the Zellie mint after the routine brushing before bed?
Sure. But why not give some time for ACT to attract more minerals to your enamel first?
