@@tsx3214 I have had no more bleeding gums or sensitive areas since I started . Every now and then I would get a little bleeding in the gum area and it would stop after a while but since I have been doing this treatment I have none of the little bleeding at all now. And I am going on 66 years old and that is saying something!
This Doctor is a genius. Back in September I went to a periodontal appointment and they wanted to extract my back molar because of deep pockets. I declined the surgery and instead started doing Dr. Ellie’s complete mouth care. I went for my routine dental cleaning today and my hygienist said that my pocket has reduced from 7.5 to 3.5 in size. I couldn’t believe it and she commended me on my oral health. All thanks to Dr.Ellie for her free dental system. Ever grateful!!!
I started my research because i was experiencing extreme tooth sensitivity because of a recession on two of my teeth because of excessively hard brushing on my part. I spent about a hr researching your videos with the procedures and carefully matching up the products as required in your system. I only did one day and when I tell you my mouth is the freshest it has EVER been. And with only one day in my teeth sensitivity to cold was almost none existent. And zero morning breath! I want to tell everyone I know about this. This system with the two tooth brushes and the wntire system including the xylitol I know after prolonged use will be one of the best things for my health. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us freely. ✨️🙌🏾✨️
It works!!!! I have been using this system for about 6 months, and just a few weeks ago, I had my teeth cleaning, and my hygienist asked what changes I made... she saw tremendous results in my gums. 🎉 I also had bleeding gums, no more bleeding 🙌
If you had bleeding gums you were seriously neglecting your teeth. That's the real issue, too many people simply don't to hygiene, they have to be lured to do basics.
What xylitol are you using? Zellie’s? I was wondering if dissolving xylitol granules in water and using as mouthwash would be as effective vs gum or mints.
Well, Dr. Ellie, its been five days since all the products arrived from your Amazon channel. I've been using them every day as you recommend and my mouth feels clean and fresh. Better yet, my gums do not bleed when i brush, as they have done for a long, long time. Those toothbrushes you offer are the best i've ever used - never felt anything like them. Your plan, your method, seems to be working almost immediately, so thank you very much for putting it all together. I am subscribed here on YT and am also following your page on Amazon. Thank you!
The only thing I would suggest is to put a key ingredient panel up on the screen that specifies what is in the given formulation that delivers the anticipated result, along with any additives that could hinder. That would make your guidance more generalizable across markets. This is helpful for those of us that can source these products.
You could also add that as a page in your booklet, or list the info with each product. Also give the specific product version name in the booklet - usually only the brand is listed. This would make it easier to look for comparable products across markets,
I second that. Also, I wonder if other ingredients are important as well. Dr Ellie did not say anything about that so I assume that as long as the Act and the toothpaste have the right amount of the correct fluoride then we are OK.
@@Alien2799 The other ingredients ARE very important as well. She has said that it could even be an inactive ingredient in a product that makes the "magic" happen, which is not what you would expect.
Great idea! Here in Toronto, Canada, I've found the Crest toothpaste, Cool Mint Listerine, ACT pre-brush rinse (can this be substituted for Closys, which I haven't found?). It appears that I need to buy the Zellie's Mints online.
@@74Voyeur No, ACT cannot be substituted for Closys. ACT is only to be used as Step 4 and would not serve the same purpose as Closys in Step 1. By the way, ACT is not a pre-brushing rinse in this system; it is the last step, as the residue should be left on the teeth for a minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour (or overnight if using at night) to strengthen them. However, an extra step that Dr. Ellie recommends is to wait 30 minutes after using ACT and then take another dose of xylitol, as each of these help each other to work even better. It is always a great idea, she said, to take xylitol right before going to sleep at night. One of the purposes of Closys is to reset the pH of the mouth to do away with acidity before brushing, as brushing acid-softened teeth damages tooth enamel. Closys also has a beneficial oxygen effect on the gums between the teeth.
Dr. Ellie is the angel God sent to me. I wish I could knew her system earlier. I have been using her system for about 6 months, no more bleeding on my gum and my teeth are whiter and stronger! Thank you so much Dr. Ellie. God bless you ❤❤
Thank you ellie, ive found your system in May when my teeth were likely on their last limb, as i havnt been to a dentist for 7 years, since i was 15. I drank and smoked heavily, lots of soda when i stopped drinking, most of my friends have horrible teeth, and all ive done to take care of them is brush before work most of the time. Ive followed the system somewhat loosely, but even then my mouth feels healthier as far as maintaining it goes, I even still vape and smoke occasionally. Once i have the means i can focus on using the xylitol gum after each meal, and keeping stocked on the proper mouthwashes to let my mouth heal. I feel like i have the chance to restore my teeth to brand new thanks to you☺️
I just want to say that even with only using xylitol twice a day for 3 months my dentist said I had “the worlds smallest amount of plaque” and to keep up what I was doing
I've been using your system for roughly a year, and my teth have never been healthier. Q: Can you do a video dedicated to Floride, please? The biggest pushback I get from others and doubt in my mind is the questions surrounding fluorides' effect on health. Key points; floride in drinking water, cancer, brain fog, history of floride, types, and safe alternatives.
I hope Dr. Ellie answers you but sharing what I have heard her say in past videos. 1. She is against floride in drinking water and tried to get it removed in her home in Austin, TX and has a filter installed in her home to have it removed. 2. She regrets using concentrated fluoride on her older children as babies as it stained their teeth. 3. She reccomneds a specific type of fluoride in smaller amounts to only be used topically. It should never be ingested, such as being in the water supply.
I agree. I used to buy Closys from Amazon Germany, and now for some reason it is not available. I would really like an alternative for that one. Now Act I can usually get from Amazon, but it is really expensive. For both I would like alternatives. The Listerine cool mint I can get in the store. The toothpaste is pretty expensive as well, and only in packages of 6. For all items, as long as Amazon sells them, it is not a problem. But they are not always. Do you have European alternatives (especially Closys and Act)?
@@AJBonnema UltraDEX is the European alternative for CloSYS, they have it at Amazon Germany and even in some online pharmacies. Colgate FluoriGard is apparently the Act alternative, but I haven't tried that one.
I know how hard and expensive it is!! My only option was internatiinal websites that do ship these abroad, except for crest and lIsterine which seems to be availabe in europe. Good luck getting ACT and Closys. I have to buy mine at a MINIMUM of 11(ACT) to 25 (closys) per bottle. And we go through those fast - family of seven !!
She has a list for the UK, which includes Ultradex / the same listerines and a regular flouride mouthwash, but I don't know about other countries, only the UK. :(
Hi @Dr Ellie, it is wonderful to discover all your videos and educational topics. Also reading your book now. I was diagnosed with periodontal disease last week following a gum absess and I'm very lucky that I also discovered you last week and started your system straight away. It makes my mouth feel amazing! Please can I kindly request you create a video to explain which UK/Europe products are the equivalent to the US products in your system? Ordering on Amazon , some products aren't available- ACT anticavity- in France or in the UK, and I just realised I ordered the Restoring version with sucralose! So I'm fininshing my routine with a Xilitol gum for now, hopefully it's the right thing to do? Thank you so much for your help with the UK/Europe products
I just got back from my dentist and i been using aim for year's and it had been good after a while but then again i have to switch up my Supply. So thankful i found this channel.
Last year I visited my dentist because I was getting pain in one of my molars. An X-ray could not show any decay (this tooth had a crown on it) my dentist suggested that I also had gum disease and referred me to a private dentist who performed scale and root planing which cost me hundreds of pounds, and this was the first visit. The final cost was going to be in the thousands of pounds. I did not go back and went to see another NHS dentist. It was suggested that I would need either tooth extraction or root canal, I opted for extraction because I had root canal before and it was not pleasant. Whilst waiting for the extraction (in total 8 months because of the waiting list) I came across Dr Ellies' Complete Mouth Care System. This was March 24. I started using it and within a few weeks I could not feel any pain. It would return when I ate but following the routine the pain got less and less, my teeth also felt very smooth and my mouth was fresh. I finally had the extraction in May and continued using the routine. I went for a check-up on 18th December 24 and I left the dental practice floating on air. I was told that there was nothing to be done - not even cleaning, I only had slight plaque on the inside bottom front teeth. I am 73 years old and have had 4 extractions over the years. I have never left a dentist without having something done. I was so delighted I had to write a comment. I immediately informed my son who was sceptical of the treatment but now wants to know more. When I first started the routine, I ordered the Closys and Act from America and they were very costly but when ordering the second batch I noticed that the Act was not the same. I live in the UK and it is very difficult to get the exact products. I can get closys, Crest Cavity protection regular, xylitol gum and granules from Amazon UK, the Listerine Cool Mint Antiseptic is only available in the 1.5lt bottle but I can't use it because it burns my tongue even after dilution. My products now are Ultradex instead of Closys, Dentyl Icy Cherry instead of Listerine and Colgate FlouriGuard instead of Act. I don't know if these will work the same but I am going to give it a go. Thank you Dr Ellie I only wish you were in the UK😘
I don't know anything about that Dentyl Icy Cherry, but I can tell you that Dr. Ellie has approved Ultradex and Colgate Fluorigard as substitutions for Closys and ACT, respectively, for the people in UK who can't get the originals.
It took weeks for my mouth to be able to tolerate the listerine. It’s a sign of pathogens. Eventually, I was able to tolerate it. Dr Ellie says to give it short exposures and build up. For now, the burning ceases after 20 seconds and then disappears altogether. I have noticed that eating sweets beforehand will cause more burning than usual. You definitely don’t want to consume alcohol within about a half hour of the routine. It has been a year now. 😮can’t live without this routine. Thank you, Dr Ellie.
I can vouch for this - I had to look carefully. ACT had recently changed packaging - very subtle. And the is a Crest + which is different than the standard Crest. Tricky! We've had my whole family on the system for a week and already see results.
@@KL-rk8yt Crest Plus is now correct. It is the same formulation with no changes; they just added the Plus to the label. ACT is also the same formulation with no changes, even though they changed the bottle shape on it this year.
Yes, the ACT bottle had me very worried, since the packaging no longer had the ADA label on it when I received my newest subscription delivery. But I compared the ingredients one by one and they all matched exactly, so I feel (mostly) confident that it's the same thing.
Bless You Dr Ellie Phillips Months ago, YT Algo recommended your video I only use Xylitol from your mouth care system Everyone said that my teeth are white and I noticed that in the morning I don’t have bad breath anymore I recommend my entourage to use xylitol
@@Divya_gond @ put a teaspoon of granulated xylitol in your mouth Squish it in your mouth, it will create saliva Keep squish it during 2 minutes then spit it out Don’t drink nor eat for 2 hours after using xylitol
@@Divya_gond @ put a teaspoon of granulated xylitol in your mouth Squish it in your mouth, it will create saliva Keep squish it during 2 minutes then spit it out Don’t drink nor eat for 2 hours after using xylitol
Dr. Ellie, i finally went to get a check up after a long time, dental PTSD. I was so worried, but i started your system about 9 months ago and i had no cavities or tartar and she mentioned nothing about receding gums! I think she thought i had been seeing another dentist instead of her hahaha! ♡♡
Thankyou so much for the updates. I had to research to find products in the UK but I think I have the correct alternatives here. My teeth are so much better now and all sensitivity has gone which I had suffered for years. Thankyou
I've bought everything except Zelle mints, which ive ordered and is expecting this week. Once received, I will start this mouth wash treatment and hopefully, I will see good results. I will keep you posted.
Hi Dr Ellie, I've started to use the system a couple of weeks ago and I'm excited. One question though if i may ask: is Parodontax a good toothpaste? If not then why? Either way I'll use your recommendation only but I'm curious to know what you think about it. Many thanks 🙏.
If we live in a country where these products are not available, how can we recognize similar products in our local store that are similar to your recommended products here? Could you make a video on that? E.g. what ingredients to look for in a toothpaste, mouthwash, etc.
Thanks, that's a good refresher. The last time I bought Crest toothpaste in Canada, I noticed a change in packaging. It now has a PLUS logo on the box/tube and no longer includes the tagline, "HELPS STOP CAVITIES BEFORE THEY START." Other than that, I’m not sure if it’s different. It still contains 0.243% sodium fluoride, so I'm hoping it still meets your standards!
That's the correct one and they did do a little bit different box design this year and added the PLUS to it. But the ingredients stayed the same! Dr. Ellie answered this question for someone in another video and said it was the same formula.
@@stevewilliams9753 No, it was down in the comments section of another video and it was not even a newer, more recent video! But if you have any doubts, just call up the prior packaging label yourself (or if you still have a tube before they added the PLUS) and compare every ingredient and the order of ingredients to the new tube. I compared them myself.
Thank you for the tips. Can you please comment on alcohol in mouthwash? I’ve heard so many dentists say that you should not use mouthwash with alcohol . . .
Dr. Ellie my kids are 5 and 6, I'm looking for the children's version of CMCS...you've alluded to it in your original CMCS video (that there would be another children's video coming) and I also see in the comments above some recommendations for kid-flavored products, but I can't find any videos on it. I purchased your CMCS kit, zellies mints and toothbrushes from your site, and would happily purchase a kid-friendly kit if you offered one, as I love the great work you're doing and want to support you. I did check out the blogs on zellies as well and the articles are mostly for babies and toddlers. I was hoping for a modified version of the adult step-by-step guide. Thank you so much 🙏
The new second edition of Kiss Your Dentist ( in stores on Jan 28th 2025) will explain that really after the age of 5/6 you can work to look after those permanent teeth in a kids mouth. The CMCS for kids is without Listerine - Closys isoptional. This means use kids Crest or a sodium fluoride 0.243% paste + kids ACT. Zellies as often as possible after meals and snacks.
All geared to the U.S. market! For U.K…alternatives. For Closys use Ultradex. Listerine original has been discontinued in the U.K. Cool mint is available, but there are two versions other than the ultraclean, one says antibacterial on the label, one does not! 🤷♀️. For ACT use Flourigard (available from Superdrug). Crest Cavity toothpaste is not widely available in supermarkets, but can be found online. This is the problem, I want to be able to go to my local supermarket or chemist and buy these products, I cannot. As well as inflated prices online, there is p+p to pay, again pushing up the price. Dr. Ellie, it would be helpful if you published in the comments alternative products to your recommendations, that are more widely available globally. Thank you.
Unfortunately in Europe we have totaly different products. I have spend days on reserching and can not find it in our markets. Closys/Ultradex/Oralflora first step, available only online in Poland - very expensive. Crest is easy to buy online, also colgate original available in our stores insted. Listerine Cool Mint, I bought one with alcohol, hoping this is the one. Last part ACT, the most expensive product, and now it says it will be available in my country in 54 days, price is also imposible to afford it for 6 people familly. We have Colgate Plax available in our markets but is does includes Cetylpyridinium Chloride, not sure if this will work well.
@ Yes, it’s a problem, especially when Dr Ellie, who ironically is English, does not suggest U.K./European alternative products that are readily available in stores. Doing your own homework is not easy either, it’s a very time consuming exercise, the Listerene website for example, does not list the complete ingredients in each of their products. I love Listerene original, but I can only buy as an import at an over inflated price. Also, I understand that there are currently law suits in progress in the U.S. against Listerine specifically for their ‘cool mint’, this is a worry! Xylitol mints/gum…the only products I have found are ‘Peppersmith’, available to purchase online and they’re expensive, especially if buying for a family. I’m currently undergoing Invisalign treatment to straighten my teeth, so I’ve started ‘xylitol pulling’. I purchased a 1kg bag of (non-GMO) pure crystal xylitol from Amazon that is inexpensive and i’m ‘pulling’ 3 x a day. I use the mints only when out and about to save on cost. C’mon Dr Ellie, please do a video with alternative, affordable and readily available products for the U.K./European market. Thank you.
Dear Mrs. Phillips, have you heard about the controversy around "Listerine Cool Mint"? There are studies that relate the use of it to bacteria that are also present around certain types of cancer. Also this mouthwash was getting some pretty bad results in recent tests, because it would contain toxic substances. May I ask for your opinion about this? Thank you!
I have been using this routine for a month and my teeth have never been stronger. So thankful for this! I have perioral dermatitis and it is flaring up because of the sls in the toothpaste. Any recommendations on a toothpaste without sls?
I have been using your system for about three months. I go back to my periodontist after the first of the year. Excited to see how my numbers have changed. Any suggestions on helping with bone loss?
I recently discovered issues with my dental health, including sudden gaps, bone loss, misaligned teeth, and gum recession. When I visited the dentist, they mentioned it was a genetic issue since my mom also faced similar problems. About two years ago, I underwent laser gum surgery. However, now I’m experiencing gum recession again, and my dentist has suggested gum grafting surgery, which involves taking gum tissue from the palate for grafting. I’d like to know your thoughts on this procedure. Can I also follow your mouth care routine to improve my oral health?
My gum pockets went from 5, 6 and 7 to 1, 2 and 3. In particular, I believe brushing my gums to stimulate circulation and using xylitol gum made the major differences, although I do use Dr. Phillips system and product recommendations. I would suggest you use her full system twice a day for at least a month and you'll see how much of a difference it makes.
Another point I’d like to stare is Spry toothpaste does have sodium fluoride in it with fewer harsh chemicals than Crest, so why do you recommend using Crest? I believe they both have the same concentration of sodium fluoride as well.
Where I live, in South Asia (India), we don't have cheap access to any of these except Listerine. I've found these alternatives for their active ingredient, not the formulation. Could you please take a look and respond? 1. Toothpaste: Colgate Total 12 (said to be 0.32%/1450 ppm sodium flouride; also has silica; but also has glycerine) 2. Pre-brush mouth rinse: Freshclor (has stabilized chlorine dioxide) 3. After-listerine mouth wash: Colgate Plax complete care (has cetylpyridinium chloride and sodium fluoride) 4. Xylitol gum: Happydent
I’m on day 10 on the system, although I use my brand new sonicare toothbrush and I make my own xylitol mints. My mouth feels so good. I got my mum, brother and sister in law on it too and everyone is so happy with their clean teeth. I will however start the European version of products soon, as the Closys and act is either unavailable or too expensive here in Europe. I’m sure I am seeing my gums starting to change, like the black triangles are getting smaller. 🤞🏻 Thanks Dr Ellie. 😁 🦷
I’m 63. I went to the dentist several months ago. The hygienist is my age and has seen a lot of mouths over the years. She was elated over the way my mouth looked. She pointed out I had no black triangles, but pink healthy gums. She said my mouth/teeth look like that of a 30 year old. Cleaning was a breeze. By the way, the hygienist told me she had 7 root canals. 😬 She must follow standard ADA guidelines. 😜 I told her about Xylitol and Ellie’s system. She knew about xylitol but my guess is that she is not permitted to recommend it to her patients. I have been using Ellie’s system for several years. I still floss, every other day. No bleeding gums. Fresh mouth. White teeth. I use Zellies mints. Thank you Dr. Ellie. It is confusing when buying products. I appreciate this video.
You might try Dr. Plotka's toothbrush just once and see what you think. It is completely different from any toothbrush I've ever used, and I've used a sonic toothbrush as well. Your teeth will feel cleaner than they ever have.
Closys = Ultradex ACT = Fluoriguard. Xylitol = peppersmith. Free downloadable booklet at DrEllie.com and you should be able to get the new SECOND edition of KISS Your Dentist Goodbye which I think you’d find useful too.
Hi Dr Ellie, thank you for this video. For those of us trying to find alternatives, is there anyway you could list the key ingredients we need to look for from each product so that if our alternatives don't contain it we know that it won't work. For example, I note that fluorigard contains glycerin, but ACT doesn't, so I am not sure if it is a suitable alternative... Ultradex does not have the chlorine dioxide that is contained in CloSYS.... As a lay person trying to find alternatives (I have a whole A4 page), a list of the ingredients we need and do not need in each product would be invaluable. Thanks so much for your time.
THANK YOU! now I can finally figure out if the translation of listerine 'cool mint' in my country really is the cool mint you are talking about!! And the toothpaste now has a 'plus' sign on its package... super confusing
There was a study about possible detrimental effects of xylitol on platelets. Note that platelets are made in the lungs at a rate of 10,000,000 per hour.
I got all the stuff recommended by dr Ellie including XYLITOL, it wasn't easy I live in IRL but I'm delighted it works already for me. I've suffered from bad breath for years I tried everything: I thought I would have to undergo the deviated septum surgery or even Linx procedure for my stomach. It's all going away, I also rinse my nostrils with xylitol. Can't wait for the second edition od dr Ellie book 'Kiss your dentist goodbye'🙂🙃🙂
*Really check the ingredient lables! I checked the crest toothpaste box that looks the same here, but it had stannos not the sodium floride that she reccomends.
Crest has changed their branding. All varieties are now being labeled Crest PLUS. I think it's just a marketing move. The ingredients appear to be identical, except the TSP was moved further down in the ingredient list (inactive ingredients).
Crest added a PLUS to the packaging earlier this year, but that was the only change. The formulation stayed the same. Did you by chance get an incorrect version of Crest? I compared my old label to the new one, and the ingredients, and order they are in, are exactly the same.
@@SunrayStar The PLUS I bought is the regular paste, and the TSP is the 7th ingredient, whereas on the "non-plus" the TSP is the 5th ingredient. I still have both boxes.
@@JohnJones-qy5ko Are you able to type out all of the ingredients from the one that you said TSP is listed 7th so I can see exactly what order all the ingredients on your newest (Plus) box are?
@@JohnJones-qy5ko Thank you so much for that. I appreciate it. This is odd, and I'm wondering why this is. We'll have to see what happens to the ingredient listings on future boxes as they make more. One thing is for sure - we had better all be comparing the label ingredients on the old vs. new every time we buy it again. The most important thing of all is that it contains Sodium Fluoride in the 0.243% concentration, but the other ingredients in there may be very important as well. If they were to change the product too much, it could potentially not work as well in the system any longer. But for now, Dr. Ellie did say to someone in the comments of another video that her office called Crest to ask about this new design change, and she was satisfied that the product should be the same.
Hi 🎉 Which mouthwash goes first or last? Do I need to use them all or can I choose one? How do I use all the products in my daily oral hygiene? 😅 Thank you 🙏
Use closys for 60 seconds Brush teeth for 1 to 2 min with crest Use listerine for 60 seconds Last use Act for 60 seconds These are in the correct order she recommends. And use xylitol daily. Mints or gum.
I wish I could buy your products in Germany. Do you have any recommendations for people in Germany? Thank you for your encouraging videos and happy holidays. ✨🎄
Thank you for the video Dr. So it does not necessarily have to be Crest anti cavity toothpaste. That particular one is difficult to find here. Can I use Colgate Anti cavity instead as it also has fluoride. Thanks again
Dr. Phillips, thanks for the new information! I have been using your mouth care system. Unfortunately I am allergic to the Ultra Sensitive Closys mouthwash. My allergy symptoms included red itchy swollen eyes, and itchy skin. It took me a few weeks and a visit to the ophthalmologist to determine it was the Closys. What is an alternative mouthwash to use in place of the closys? Thank you!
Always use the CMCS last thing at night before sleeping. Use it again at another time when you will not eat or drink afterwards for 1-2 hours. After other sessions of eating or drinking just use xylitol followed by mouth resting also.
I just looked at the Walmart site and it says they have these in stock now in Chicago stores? Crest Cavity Protection Regular Paste and ACT Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash Zero Alcohol in either Mint, Cinnamon or Bubble Gum.
I live in Poland, and the Closys and zellie’s gum are impossible to obtain here. Could you suggest substitutes for these products? It’s very important to me. I managed to buy toothpaste, ACT, and Listerine, but the other two are unavailable. Even using just the three products I could get, I’ve already noticed a huge improvement in the condition of my gums. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
@@nvateach1 I think that's just for the ACT, not Listerine...? (This is because the ACT formulation she recommends does NOT come in the big bottle, but they have another formulation that looks just like it in the larger size).
I just came across your video and excited to start this routine. Unfortunately I have hard tartar build up. Should I get a cleaning before I start this new program? I also fear I may have found you too late I just noticed I can see bone or tooth coming through my upper front gums. Should I still massage the gums in this area? Many thanks for any advice and guidance
I really love your system, but considering the issues Listerine is currently facing, is there an alternative I can use, or can I skip this mouthwash altogether? I understand you're firm about maintaining the system as is, but I just wanted to ask if there’s any flexibility on this due to new information.
If you stop the program, how long before you start having bad problems again? Is it possible to obtain the biofilm without the xylitol? I understand the xylitol is harmful to the good bacteria in the belly.
@ thank you! I will check. I was skeptical when I started but after following your protocol for 3 months I am seeing great results. My hygienist kept asking me what have I done 😊
How about the battle with fluoride as a toxic substance? I’m doing your system but I’m nervous to share with others. I think toothpaste is .76% (I got your kit but then have tried to do refills on my own, one time got one by mistake that was 0.25% approximately toothpaste). Ty for doing video!!
Don’t swallow it, in your mouth and spit out is only residual amounts. She doesn’t endorse fluoride in drinking water and tried fighting the US govt to get it removed.
Dr. Ellie explained that in a few other vids. She says sodium fluoride is different with fluoride itself, think about sodium chloride, plus you dont eat it just a minute or two on the teeth and the teeth benefit from it is important.
@@sahelnanasodium chloride is toxic. I've also heard that the natural calcium fluoride is not good for us either and that all fluoride is a neurotoxin. Our body absorbs sodium chloride through the gums and mouth.
I stared the complete system about 2 weeks ago, but I am struggling with the listerine part. I have fissures in my tongue and it burns from the alcohol in the listerine.
Instead of xylitol gum or mints-could you dissolve birch tree granules in water and use as mouthwash? Would this be just as effective method vs gum or mints? Thank you
Still have not found a reasonably priced substitute for Closys which is US$70 a bottle delivered to my country. Dr Ellie explains that the Closys reacts with your saliva. It turns to oxygen and the anaerobic bacteria in your deep cavities hate oxygen. So what is needed I guess is something which turns to oxygen in your saliva. Oxygenated water perhaps? If anyone has any suggestions please post.
That is true that Closys has the oxygen action in the mouth. But the even bigger purpose of it is to reset the pH in the mouth before brushing by raising an acidic oral state into the alkaline range. Brushing acid-softened teeth causes damage to tooth enamel, so Closys changes that pH and makes it safe to brush the teeth without fear of enamel damage. She did once suggest, as a last resort if you just cannot get Closys, something else that will raise the mouth pH before brushing, such as an alkaline water that you would swish with. It would not give the oxygen effect, though.
@@SunrayStar Thanks much for the info - hmm interesting stuff indeed. Will look around for "something else that will raise the mouth pH before brushing" Maybe some oxygenated water first and then the pH rinse. Will post again with info/results.
@@stevewilliams9753 Thanks Steve - yes I've checked UltraDEX, it's basically a rebranded Closys product for the UK and even more expensive - I'm in SE Asia.
They just changed the toothpaste formulation where I usually get it. I didn’t know because the box was the same. So I need to pay attention more to the details…
Yes, I wrote to him awhile back after he posted a segment where he explicitly "bad mouthed" her, challenging him to interview her. 👍 He is selling products...
Dr. Ellie, I've been getting stomach cramps since starting this regimen 2 months ago, am I doing something wrong? I'm not swallowing but since we're not rinsing afterwards, at night I'm possibly ingesting what is remaining in my mouth. What should I do? Besides the stomach cramps though, my teeth have been looking fabulous in such a short amount of time and receding gums slowly coming back. But stopped a few days ago to hopefully resolve my stomach issue. Please help ☹
I have been on your system for about 1.5 years. My teeth are so sensitive. If I eat an apple or most fruits my teeth are so painful I can’t tolerate touching my teeth with my toothbrush.
I have been using this routine now for over two years now and I can say with no Question it works!
@@tsx3214 I have had no more bleeding gums or sensitive areas since I started . Every now and then I would get a little bleeding in the gum area and it would stop after a while but since I have been doing this treatment I have none of the little bleeding at all now. And I am going on 66 years old and that is saying something!
This January, I'll be celebrating my first year with the program ❤
Thank you, Dr Ellie
Hate to break the news but this is not good. I’ve been using the system for 8 months and I’m stoping today.
Fifteen months and I agree!
@@klynch7329 Great !
This Doctor is a genius. Back in September I went to a periodontal appointment and they wanted to extract my back molar because of deep pockets. I declined the surgery and instead started doing Dr. Ellie’s complete mouth care. I went for my routine dental cleaning today and my hygienist said that my pocket has reduced from 7.5 to 3.5 in size. I couldn’t believe it and she commended me on my oral health. All thanks to Dr.Ellie for her free dental system. Ever grateful!!!
The most trustworthy dentist ever in my opinion! My teeth thanks you! 🎉
I started my research because i was experiencing extreme tooth sensitivity because of a recession on two of my teeth because of excessively hard brushing on my part.
I spent about a hr researching your videos with the procedures and carefully matching up the products as required in your system.
I only did one day and when I tell you my mouth is the freshest it has EVER been.
And with only one day in my teeth sensitivity to cold was almost none existent.
And zero morning breath!
I want to tell everyone I know about this.
This system with the two tooth brushes and the wntire system including the xylitol I know after prolonged use will be one of the best things for my health.
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us freely.
✨️🙌🏾✨️
It works!!!! I have been using this system for about 6 months, and just a few weeks ago, I had my teeth cleaning, and my hygienist asked what changes I made... she saw tremendous results in my gums. 🎉 I also had bleeding gums, no more bleeding 🙌
If you had bleeding gums you were seriously neglecting your teeth. That's the real issue, too many people simply don't to hygiene, they have to be lured to do basics.
What xylitol are you using? Zellie’s? I was wondering if dissolving xylitol granules in water and using as mouthwash would be as effective vs gum or mints.
Can you please give me a brief explanation of the system, step-by-step
Well, Dr. Ellie, its been five days since all the products arrived from your Amazon channel. I've been using them every day as you recommend and my mouth feels clean and fresh. Better yet, my gums do not bleed when i brush, as they have done for a long, long time.
Those toothbrushes you offer are the best i've ever used - never felt anything like them. Your plan, your method, seems to be working almost immediately, so thank you very much for putting it all together. I am subscribed here on YT and am also following your page on Amazon. Thank you!
The only thing I would suggest is to put a key ingredient panel up on the screen that specifies what is in the given formulation that delivers the anticipated result, along with any additives that could hinder. That would make your guidance more generalizable across markets. This is helpful for those of us that can source these products.
You could also add that as a page in your booklet, or list the info with each product. Also give the specific product version name in the booklet - usually only the brand is listed. This would make it easier to look for comparable products across markets,
I second that. Also, I wonder if other ingredients are important as well. Dr Ellie did not say anything about that so I assume that as long as the Act and the toothpaste have the right amount of the correct fluoride then we are OK.
@@Alien2799 The other ingredients ARE very important as well. She has said that it could even be an inactive ingredient in a product that makes the "magic" happen, which is not what you would expect.
Great idea! Here in Toronto, Canada, I've found the Crest toothpaste, Cool Mint Listerine, ACT pre-brush rinse (can this be substituted for Closys, which I haven't found?). It appears that I need to buy the Zellie's Mints online.
@@74Voyeur No, ACT cannot be substituted for Closys. ACT is only to be used as Step 4 and would not serve the same purpose as Closys in Step 1. By the way, ACT is not a pre-brushing rinse in this system; it is the last step, as the residue should be left on the teeth for a minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour (or overnight if using at night) to strengthen them. However, an extra step that Dr. Ellie recommends is to wait 30 minutes after using ACT and then take another dose of xylitol, as each of these help each other to work even better.
It is always a great idea, she said, to take xylitol right before going to sleep at night. One of the purposes of Closys is to reset the pH of the mouth to do away with acidity before brushing, as brushing acid-softened teeth damages tooth enamel. Closys also has a beneficial oxygen effect on the gums between the teeth.
I love how you make everything so clear in your videos. It can be confusing with all the different versions of the products.
Dr. Ellie is the angel God sent to me. I wish I could knew her system earlier. I have been using her system for about 6 months, no more bleeding on my gum and my teeth are whiter and stronger! Thank you so much Dr. Ellie. God bless you ❤❤
Yes, Yes, same here
Thank you ellie, ive found your system in May when my teeth were likely on their last limb, as i havnt been to a dentist for 7 years, since i was 15. I drank and smoked heavily, lots of soda when i stopped drinking, most of my friends have horrible teeth, and all ive done to take care of them is brush before work most of the time.
Ive followed the system somewhat loosely, but even then my mouth feels healthier as far as maintaining it goes, I even still vape and smoke occasionally. Once i have the means i can focus on using the xylitol gum after each meal, and keeping stocked on the proper mouthwashes to let my mouth heal.
I feel like i have the chance to restore my teeth to brand new thanks to you☺️
Discovering this was the best thing for me in the whole of 2024. Thank you!!!
What’s the routine?
Me too!! Too bad that many people don't have the patience to change their dental routine.
@@CarranzaTV831 The complete mouth-care system - look in her videos for the instruction
I just want to say that even with only using xylitol twice a day for 3 months my dentist said I had “the worlds smallest amount of plaque” and to keep up what I was doing
I've been using your system for roughly a year, and my teth have never been healthier. Q: Can you do a video dedicated to Floride, please? The biggest pushback I get from others and doubt in my mind is the questions surrounding fluorides' effect on health. Key points; floride in drinking water, cancer, brain fog, history of floride, types, and safe alternatives.
I hope Dr. Ellie answers you but sharing what I have heard her say in past videos.
1. She is against floride in drinking water and tried to get it removed in her home in Austin, TX and has a filter installed in her home to have it removed.
2. She regrets using concentrated fluoride on her older children as babies as it stained their teeth.
3. She reccomneds a specific type of fluoride in smaller amounts to only be used topically. It should never be ingested, such as being in the water supply.
@@elizabethr6368What about it going through the gums and into bloodstream?
Dr Ellie, this is _really important,_ how about alternative products for those of us who _don't_ live in the US?
I agree. I used to buy Closys from Amazon Germany, and now for some reason it is not available. I would really like an alternative for that one. Now Act I can usually get from Amazon, but it is really expensive. For both I would like alternatives. The Listerine cool mint I can get in the store. The toothpaste is pretty expensive as well, and only in packages of 6. For all items, as long as Amazon sells them, it is not a problem. But they are not always. Do you have European alternatives (especially Closys and Act)?
@@AJBonnema UltraDEX is the European alternative for CloSYS, they have it at Amazon Germany and even in some online pharmacies. Colgate FluoriGard is apparently the Act alternative, but I haven't tried that one.
I use Oralflora as Closys and Colgate Plax as Act
I know how hard and expensive it is!! My only option was internatiinal websites that do ship these abroad, except for crest and lIsterine which seems to be availabe in europe. Good luck getting ACT and Closys. I have to buy mine at a MINIMUM of 11(ACT) to 25 (closys) per bottle.
And we go through those fast - family of seven !!
She has a list for the UK, which includes Ultradex / the same listerines and a regular flouride mouthwash, but I don't know about other countries, only the UK. :(
Very helpful. Thank you, Dr. Ellie, for teaching us to take good care of our teeth.
Hi @Dr Ellie, it is wonderful to discover all your videos and educational topics. Also reading your book now. I was diagnosed with periodontal disease last week following a gum absess and I'm very lucky that I also discovered you last week and started your system straight away. It makes my mouth feel amazing!
Please can I kindly request you create a video to explain which UK/Europe products are the equivalent to the US products in your system? Ordering on Amazon , some products aren't available- ACT anticavity- in France or in the UK, and I just realised I ordered the Restoring version with sucralose! So I'm fininshing my routine with a Xilitol gum for now, hopefully it's the right thing to do?
Thank you so much for your help with the UK/Europe products
I just got back from my dentist and i been using aim for year's and it had been good after a while but then again i have to switch up my Supply. So thankful i found this channel.
Last year I visited my dentist because I was getting pain in one of my molars. An X-ray could not show any decay (this tooth had a crown on it) my dentist suggested that I also had gum disease and referred me to a private dentist who performed scale and root planing which cost me hundreds of pounds, and this was the first visit. The final cost was going to be in the thousands of pounds. I did not go back and went to see another NHS dentist. It was suggested that I would need either tooth extraction or root canal, I opted for extraction because I had root canal before and it was not pleasant.
Whilst waiting for the extraction (in total 8 months because of the waiting list) I came across Dr Ellies' Complete Mouth Care System. This was March 24. I started using it and within a few weeks I could not feel any pain. It would return when I ate but following the routine the pain got less and less, my teeth also felt very smooth and my mouth was fresh.
I finally had the extraction in May and continued using the routine. I went for a check-up on 18th December 24 and I left the dental practice floating on air. I was told that there was nothing to be done - not even cleaning, I only had slight plaque on the inside bottom front teeth. I am 73 years old and have had 4 extractions over the years. I have never left a dentist without having something done. I was so delighted I had to write a comment. I immediately informed my son who was sceptical of the treatment but now wants to know more.
When I first started the routine, I ordered the Closys and Act from America and they were very costly but when ordering the second batch I noticed that the Act was not the same. I live in the UK and it is very difficult to get the exact products. I can get closys, Crest Cavity protection regular, xylitol gum and granules from Amazon UK, the Listerine Cool Mint Antiseptic is only available in the 1.5lt bottle but I can't use it because it burns my tongue even after dilution.
My products now are Ultradex instead of Closys, Dentyl Icy Cherry instead of Listerine and Colgate FlouriGuard instead of Act. I don't know if these will work the same but I am going to give it a go. Thank you Dr Ellie I only wish you were in the UK😘
I don't know anything about that Dentyl Icy Cherry, but I can tell you that Dr. Ellie has approved Ultradex and Colgate Fluorigard as substitutions for Closys and ACT, respectively, for the people in UK who can't get the originals.
@@SunrayStar Thanks but I can't use any of the Listerines it makes my tongue sore.
@@mocam-sam4123 Just start with 1-2 seconds! And gradually increase the time
It took weeks for my mouth to be able to tolerate the listerine. It’s a sign of pathogens. Eventually, I was able to tolerate it. Dr Ellie says to give it short exposures and build up. For now, the burning ceases after 20 seconds and then disappears altogether. I have noticed that eating sweets beforehand will cause more burning than usual. You definitely don’t want to consume alcohol within about a half hour of the routine. It has been a year now. 😮can’t live without this routine. Thank you, Dr Ellie.
@@mocam-sam4123 The same for me. Do it very gradually and in the end it will not burn as much.
I can vouch for this - I had to look carefully. ACT had recently changed packaging - very subtle. And the is a Crest + which is different than the standard Crest. Tricky! We've had my whole family on the system for a week and already see results.
Yup, I just made the mistake of buying Crest+ version today. Look carefully when buying.
@@KL-rk8yturgg O have 4 of those ... 😢
With the ACT the bottle is different but is also the formula?
@@KL-rk8yt Crest Plus is now correct. It is the same formulation with no changes; they just added the Plus to the label. ACT is also the same formulation with no changes, even though they changed the bottle shape on it this year.
Yes, the ACT bottle had me very worried, since the packaging no longer had the ADA label on it when I received my newest subscription delivery. But I compared the ingredients one by one and they all matched exactly, so I feel (mostly) confident that it's the same thing.
Bless You Dr Ellie Phillips

Dr. Ellie, i finally went to get a check up after a long time, dental PTSD. I was so worried, but i started your system about 9 months ago and i had no cavities or tartar and she mentioned nothing about receding gums! I think she thought i had been seeing another dentist instead of her hahaha! ♡♡
Thankyou so much for the updates. I had to research to find products in the UK but I think I have the correct alternatives here.
My teeth are so much better now and all sensitivity has gone which I had suffered for years.
Thankyou
I'm from uk what ones did you get pleaes
I've bought everything except Zelle mints, which ive ordered and is expecting this week. Once received, I will start this mouth wash treatment and hopefully, I will see good results. I will keep you posted.
Thank you Dr. Ellie!
Hi Dr Ellie, I've started to use the system a couple of weeks ago and I'm excited. One question though if i may ask: is Parodontax a good toothpaste? If not then why? Either way I'll use your recommendation only but I'm curious to know what you think about it. Many thanks 🙏.
If we live in a country where these products are not available, how can we recognize similar products in our local store that are similar to your recommended products here? Could you make a video on that? E.g. what ingredients to look for in a toothpaste, mouthwash, etc.
Dr. Ellie, you are awesome. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much for the important 🧠facts!!!!
You’re the best, Doctor!!!
Thanks, that's a good refresher. The last time I bought Crest toothpaste in Canada, I noticed a change in packaging. It now has a PLUS logo on the box/tube and no longer includes the tagline, "HELPS STOP CAVITIES BEFORE THEY START." Other than that, I’m not sure if it’s different. It still contains 0.243% sodium fluoride, so I'm hoping it still meets your standards!
That's the correct one and they did do a little bit different box design this year and added the PLUS to it. But the ingredients stayed the same! Dr. Ellie answered this question for someone in another video and said it was the same formula.
@@SunrayStar Can you remember which video it was?
@@stevewilliams9753 No, it was down in the comments section of another video and it was not even a newer, more recent video! But if you have any doubts, just call up the prior packaging label yourself (or if you still have a tube before they added the PLUS) and compare every ingredient and the order of ingredients to the new tube. I compared them myself.
Thank you for the tips. Can you please comment on alcohol in mouthwash? I’ve heard so many dentists say that you should not use mouthwash with alcohol . . .
Dr. Ellie my kids are 5 and 6, I'm looking for the children's version of CMCS...you've alluded to it in your original CMCS video (that there would be another children's video coming) and I also see in the comments above some recommendations for kid-flavored products, but I can't find any videos on it.
I purchased your CMCS kit, zellies mints and toothbrushes from your site, and would happily purchase a kid-friendly kit if you offered one, as I love the great work you're doing and want to support you.
I did check out the blogs on zellies as well and the articles are mostly for babies and toddlers. I was hoping for a modified version of the adult step-by-step guide. Thank you so much 🙏
The new second edition of Kiss Your Dentist ( in stores on Jan 28th 2025) will explain that really after the age of 5/6 you can work to look after those permanent teeth in a kids mouth.
The CMCS for kids is without Listerine - Closys isoptional.
This means use kids Crest or a sodium fluoride 0.243% paste + kids ACT.
Zellies as often as possible after meals and snacks.
Thank you doctor Elly, hope I can get such kind of product in my country ...
Thank you all for your suggestions
All geared to the U.S. market! For U.K…alternatives. For Closys use Ultradex. Listerine original has been discontinued in the U.K. Cool mint is available, but there are two versions other than the ultraclean, one says antibacterial on the label, one does not! 🤷♀️. For ACT use Flourigard (available from Superdrug). Crest Cavity toothpaste is not widely available in supermarkets, but can be found online. This is the problem, I want to be able to go to my local supermarket or chemist and buy these products, I cannot. As well as inflated prices online, there is p+p to pay, again pushing up the price. Dr. Ellie, it would be helpful if you published in the comments alternative products to your recommendations, that are more widely available globally. Thank you.
Unfortunately in Europe we have totaly different products. I have spend days on reserching and can not find it in our markets. Closys/Ultradex/Oralflora first step, available only online in Poland - very expensive. Crest is easy to buy online, also colgate original available in our stores insted. Listerine Cool Mint, I bought one with alcohol, hoping this is the one. Last part ACT, the most expensive product, and now it says it will be available in my country in 54 days, price is also imposible to afford it for 6 people familly. We have Colgate Plax available in our markets but is does includes Cetylpyridinium Chloride, not sure if this will work well.
@ Yes, it’s a problem, especially when Dr Ellie, who ironically is English, does not suggest U.K./European alternative products that are readily available in stores. Doing your own homework is not easy either, it’s a very time consuming exercise, the Listerene website for example, does not list the complete ingredients in each of their products. I love Listerene original, but I can only buy as an import at an over inflated price. Also, I understand that there are currently law suits in progress in the U.S. against Listerine specifically for their ‘cool mint’, this is a worry! Xylitol mints/gum…the only products I have found are ‘Peppersmith’, available to purchase online and they’re expensive, especially if buying for a family. I’m currently undergoing Invisalign treatment to straighten my teeth, so I’ve started ‘xylitol pulling’. I purchased a 1kg bag of (non-GMO) pure crystal xylitol from Amazon that is inexpensive and i’m ‘pulling’ 3 x a day. I use the mints only when out and about to save on cost. C’mon Dr Ellie, please do a video with alternative, affordable and readily available products for the U.K./European market. Thank you.
I am using your care system and love it! Do you have one for kids? My son (7) keeps getting build up/stains on his front teeth.
Dear Mrs. Phillips, have you heard about the controversy around "Listerine Cool Mint"? There are studies that relate the use of it to bacteria that are also present around certain types of cancer. Also this mouthwash was getting some pretty bad results in recent tests, because it would contain toxic substances. May I ask for your opinion about this? Thank you!
Any more on Listerine mouth wash studies?

I have been using this routine for a month and my teeth have never been stronger. So thankful for this!
I have perioral dermatitis and it is flaring up because of the sls in the toothpaste. Any recommendations on a toothpaste without sls?
I have been using your system for about three months. I go back to my periodontist after the first of the year. Excited to see how my numbers have changed. Any suggestions on helping with bone loss?
I recently discovered issues with my dental health, including sudden gaps, bone loss, misaligned teeth, and gum recession. When I visited the dentist, they mentioned it was a genetic issue since my mom also faced similar problems. About two years ago, I underwent laser gum surgery. However, now I’m experiencing gum recession again, and my dentist has suggested gum grafting surgery, which involves taking gum tissue from the palate for grafting.
I’d like to know your thoughts on this procedure. Can I also follow your mouth care routine to improve my oral health?
My gum pockets went from 5, 6 and 7 to 1, 2 and 3. In particular, I believe brushing my gums to stimulate circulation and using xylitol gum made the major differences, although I do use Dr. Phillips system and product recommendations. I would suggest you use her full system twice a day for at least a month and you'll see how much of a difference it makes.
@kaycee557 yeah I will try, Thank you 😊
Why not Listerine Green? 💚 Fresh Burst flavor?
Another point I’d like to stare is Spry toothpaste does have sodium fluoride in it with fewer harsh chemicals than Crest, so why do you recommend using Crest? I believe they both have the same concentration of sodium fluoride as well.
Does it have silica in it as the abrasive?
Yes, it is the second ingredient listed on the tube.
Where I live, in South Asia (India), we don't have cheap access to any of these except Listerine.
I've found these alternatives for their active ingredient, not the formulation. Could you please take a look and respond?
1. Toothpaste: Colgate Total 12 (said to be 0.32%/1450 ppm sodium flouride; also has silica; but also has glycerine)
2. Pre-brush mouth rinse: Freshclor (has stabilized chlorine dioxide)
3. After-listerine mouth wash: Colgate Plax complete care (has cetylpyridinium chloride and sodium fluoride)
4. Xylitol gum: Happydent
Happydent has very less amount of xylitol not even effective per piece 1g xylitol should be but it contains very little amount
@Pari_Yadav_Ji hmm... Even I thought so - I have 4 pieces a day. so what do you use?
@@eunicerodrigues1500 You can choose icebreaker ice cubes xylitol gums. I use a little bit of cheese.
3:19 Colgate Total 12 contain Zinc that makes your teeth more sensitive.
I’m on day 10 on the system, although I use my brand new sonicare toothbrush and I make my own xylitol mints.
My mouth feels so good. I got my mum, brother and sister in law on it too and everyone is so happy with their clean teeth.
I will however start the European version of products soon, as the Closys and act is either unavailable or too expensive here in Europe.
I’m sure I am seeing my gums starting to change, like the black triangles are getting smaller. 🤞🏻
Thanks Dr Ellie. 😁 🦷
I’m 63. I went to the dentist several months ago. The hygienist is my age and has seen a lot of mouths over the years. She was elated over the way my mouth looked. She pointed out I had no black triangles, but pink healthy gums. She said my mouth/teeth look like that of a 30 year old. Cleaning was a breeze.
By the way, the hygienist told me she had 7 root canals. 😬 She must follow standard ADA guidelines. 😜 I told her about Xylitol and Ellie’s system. She knew about xylitol but my guess is that she is not permitted to recommend it to her patients.
I have been using Ellie’s system for several years. I still floss, every other day. No bleeding gums. Fresh mouth. White teeth. I use Zellies mints.
Thank you Dr. Ellie. It is confusing when buying products. I appreciate this video.

And plz provide the link of her mouthcare system@@carolb6549

Closys = Ultradex ACT = Fluoriguard. Xylitol = peppersmith. Free downloadable booklet at DrEllie.com and you should be able to get the new SECOND edition of KISS Your Dentist Goodbye which I think you’d find useful too.
@ thank you dr how many items are there please advise 🙏❤️
Can I do anything about bone loss?
Hi Dr Ellie, thank you for this video. For those of us trying to find alternatives, is there anyway you could list the key ingredients we need to look for from each product so that if our alternatives don't contain it we know that it won't work.
For example, I note that fluorigard contains glycerin, but ACT doesn't, so I am not sure if it is a suitable alternative...
Ultradex does not have the chlorine dioxide that is contained in CloSYS....
As a lay person trying to find alternatives (I have a whole A4 page), a list of the ingredients we need and do not need in each product would be invaluable. Thanks so much for your time.
THANK YOU! now I can finally figure out if the translation of listerine 'cool mint' in my country really is the cool mint you are talking about!! And the toothpaste now has a 'plus' sign on its package... super confusing
There was a study about possible detrimental effects of xylitol on platelets. Note that platelets are made in the lungs at a rate of 10,000,000 per hour.
I got all the stuff recommended by dr Ellie including XYLITOL, it wasn't easy I live in IRL but I'm delighted it works already for me. I've suffered from bad breath for years I tried everything: I thought I would have to undergo the deviated septum surgery or even Linx procedure for my stomach. It's all going away, I also rinse my nostrils with xylitol. Can't wait for the second edition od dr Ellie book 'Kiss your dentist goodbye'🙂🙃🙂
Stop buying up all the Acts and Ultra dex! Best Regards from Sligo

Thanks so much!
Crest has changed their branding. All varieties are now being labeled Crest PLUS. I think it's just a marketing move. The ingredients appear to be identical, except the TSP was moved further down in the ingredient list (inactive ingredients).
Crest added a PLUS to the packaging earlier this year, but that was the only change. The formulation stayed the same. Did you by chance get an incorrect version of Crest? I compared my old label to the new one, and the ingredients, and order they are in, are exactly the same.
@@SunrayStar The PLUS I bought is the regular paste, and the TSP is the 7th ingredient, whereas on the "non-plus" the TSP is the 5th ingredient. I still have both boxes.
@@JohnJones-qy5ko Are you able to type out all of the ingredients from the one that you said TSP is listed 7th so I can see exactly what order all the ingredients on your newest (Plus) box are?
@@SunrayStar Sure, here are the Inactive ingredients as they appear - sorbitol, water, hydrated silica, sodium lauryl sulfate, flavor, cellulose gum, trisodium phosphate, sodium phosphate, carbomer, sodium saccharin, titanium dioxide, blue 1
@@JohnJones-qy5ko Thank you so much for that. I appreciate it. This is odd, and I'm wondering why this is. We'll have to see what happens to the ingredient listings on future boxes as they make more. One thing is for sure - we had better all be comparing the label ingredients on the old vs. new every time we buy it again. The most important thing of all is that it contains Sodium Fluoride in the 0.243% concentration, but the other ingredients in there may be very important as well. If they were to change the product too much, it could potentially not work as well in the system any longer.
But for now, Dr. Ellie did say to someone in the comments of another video that her office called Crest to ask about this new design change, and she was satisfied that the product should be the same.
Hi 🎉 Which mouthwash goes first or last? Do I need to use them all or can I choose one?
How do I use all the products in my daily oral hygiene? 😅
Thank you 🙏
Use closys for 60 seconds
Brush teeth for 1 to 2 min with crest
Use listerine for 60 seconds
Last use Act for 60 seconds
These are in the correct order she recommends. And use xylitol daily. Mints or gum.
@@Brandi87 thank you so much ☺️
I think it's 30 seconds for listerine

Thank you for the video Dr. So it does not necessarily have to be Crest anti cavity toothpaste. That particular one is difficult to find here.
Can I use Colgate Anti cavity instead as it also has fluoride. Thanks again
Is the Listerine Cool Mint still recommended? Heard about a lawsuit against this because it causes cancer.
Dr. Phillips, thanks for the new information! I have been using your mouth care system. Unfortunately I am allergic to the Ultra Sensitive Closys mouthwash. My allergy symptoms included red itchy swollen eyes, and itchy skin. It took me a few weeks and a visit to the ophthalmologist to determine it was the Closys. What is an alternative mouthwash to use in place of the closys? Thank you!
I just need to know when we use this system between meals and also when to use the mints, after meals?
Always use the CMCS last thing at night before sleeping. Use it again at another time when you will not eat or drink afterwards for 1-2 hours. After other sessions of eating or drinking just use xylitol followed by mouth resting also.
@dr.elliephillips is it okay to do this system right after a meal or should I wait for some time?
100% im having a hard time finding the Act and toothpaste you recommend in Chicago, So frustrating.
Thank you for this.
I just looked at the Walmart site and it says they have these in stock now in Chicago stores? Crest Cavity Protection Regular Paste and ACT Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash Zero Alcohol in either Mint, Cinnamon or Bubble Gum.
Where in Chicago are you? The Walmart by me on the southside has all of these products. So does the Walgreens by me.
Dr Ellie
I am using Colgate toothpaste with sodium monofluorophoshate, is it ok?
Thank you❤
Is it ok to use your system first thing in the morning, wait an hour or two and then have breakfast?
Thanks. And love the cherry Zellies!
When will your xylitol gummies be available Amazon uk?
Can you please make alternative products in europe we dont have act anticaviy or crest toothpaste
Thank you.
Do you recommend fluoride in toothpaste or whitout? And whith Xilitol in it or not?
I live in Poland, and the Closys and zellie’s gum are impossible to obtain here. Could you suggest substitutes for these products? It’s very important to me. I managed to buy toothpaste, ACT, and Listerine, but the other two are unavailable. Even using just the three products I could get, I’ve already noticed a huge improvement in the condition of my gums. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
Is it ok to use Listerine Cool Mint Milde Taste?
Is ok if the original listerin have alcohol in?
That is the one I personally use. I recommend either this one or the Cool Mint.
There is a free downloadable booklet at DrEllie.com
Just bought original Listerine due to your post.
she recommends the small bottles only, not the large bottles
@ why?
@ why?
@@nvateach1 I think that's just for the ACT, not Listerine...? (This is because the ACT formulation she recommends does NOT come in the big bottle, but they have another formulation that looks just like it in the larger size).
I believe the large bottles are less sodium flouride.
I just came across your video and excited to start this routine. Unfortunately I have hard tartar build up. Should I get a cleaning before I start this new program? I also fear I may have found you too late
I just noticed I can see bone or tooth coming through my upper front gums. Should I still massage the gums in this area? Many thanks for any advice and guidance
I really love your system, but considering the issues Listerine is currently facing, is there an alternative I can use, or can I skip this mouthwash altogether? I understand you're firm about maintaining the system as is, but I just wanted to ask if there’s any flexibility on this due to new information.
If you stop the program, how long before you start having bad problems again? Is it possible to obtain the biofilm without the xylitol? I understand the xylitol is harmful to the good bacteria in the belly.
What toothbrush do you recommend that can be purchased in a store? Thank you!
MOUTHWATCHERS flossing brushes are in Natural grocers and wholefoods I think
@ thank you! I will check. I was skeptical when I started but after following your protocol for 3 months I am seeing great results. My hygienist kept asking me what have I done 😊
How about the battle with fluoride as a toxic substance? I’m doing your system but I’m nervous to share with others.
I think toothpaste is .76% (I got your kit but then have tried to do refills on my own, one time got one by mistake that was 0.25% approximately toothpaste). Ty for doing video!!
Don’t swallow it, in your mouth and spit out is only residual amounts. She doesn’t endorse fluoride in drinking water and tried fighting the US govt to get it removed.
Dr. Ellie explained that in a few other vids. She says sodium fluoride is different with fluoride itself, think about sodium chloride, plus you dont eat it just a minute or two on the teeth and the teeth benefit from it is important.
@@sahelnanasodium chloride is toxic.
I've also heard that the natural calcium fluoride is not good for us either and that all fluoride is a neurotoxin.
Our body absorbs sodium chloride through the gums and mouth.
Bought original Listerine 👍🏼
Will zinc taken orally in capsule form (swallowed) daily cause tooth sensitivity?
I stared the complete system about 2 weeks ago, but I am struggling with the listerine part. I have fissures in my tongue and it burns from the alcohol in the listerine.
Hello Dr. Ellie, please recommend the alternatives to your products of your complete mouth care system that sre available here in India.
Instead of xylitol gum or mints-could you dissolve birch tree granules in water and use as mouthwash? Would this be just as effective method vs gum or mints?
Thank you
Just realized I have sensitive closis not the Ultra sensitive. Is this an issu3?
Dr Ellis, could you please provide the link to your Australian stockist? Thank you. 💗
They are called Healthy Kiwis and have an Australian warehouse too now.
Thank you so much. I had been searching and unable to find where to purchase from.@@ttephi3667
Dr Ellie, have you addressed the new formulation ingredient called edathamil? There is a lot of buzz over this wonder ingredient to remove plaque.
Thank you for all that you do. Did you say nanohydroxyapatite stops the remineralization process?
I'm visiting in Nevada for the holidays and noticed their Walmarts carry the recommended Closys.
Still have not found a reasonably priced substitute for Closys which is US$70 a bottle delivered to my country. Dr Ellie explains that the Closys reacts with your saliva. It turns to oxygen and the anaerobic bacteria in your deep cavities hate oxygen. So what is needed I guess is something which turns to oxygen in your saliva. Oxygenated water perhaps? If anyone has any suggestions please post.
That is true that Closys has the oxygen action in the mouth. But the even bigger purpose of it is to reset the pH in the mouth before brushing by raising an acidic oral state into the alkaline range. Brushing acid-softened teeth causes damage to tooth enamel, so Closys changes that pH and makes it safe to brush the teeth without fear of enamel damage. She did once suggest, as a last resort if you just cannot get Closys, something else that will raise the mouth pH before brushing, such as an alkaline water that you would swish with. It would not give the oxygen effect, though.
@@SunrayStar Thanks much for the info - hmm interesting stuff indeed. Will look around for "something else that will raise the mouth pH before brushing" Maybe some oxygenated water first and then the pH rinse. Will post again with info/results.
Dr. Ellie has previously recommended using UltraDEX Daily Oral Rinse (Unflavoured) as an alternative to Closys for those based in the UK.
@@stevewilliams9753 Thanks Steve - yes I've checked UltraDEX, it's basically a rebranded Closys product for the UK and even more expensive - I'm in SE Asia.
What it would happen if I skip Listerine step? I'm worried about using alcohol-based mouthwash for a long time.
They just changed the toothpaste formulation where I usually get it. I didn’t know because the box was the same. So I need to pay attention more to the details…
Dr Mark Burhenne, a discussion between u both wud be interesting
Yes, I wrote to him awhile back after he posted a segment where he explicitly "bad mouthed" her, challenging him to interview her. 👍 He is selling products...
Walmart has all her products in the US though. Got mine there including the ACT (Sodium Fluoride 0.05%). You’re welcome.
Thanks!
0.005% or 0.05%?
Hi Dr Ellie, What causes teeth grinding?
hi!! do you have any cruelty free alternatives that’s just as effective? I know a lot of research goes into the complete mouth care system!
Dr. Ellie, I've been getting stomach cramps since starting this regimen 2 months ago, am I doing something wrong? I'm not swallowing but since we're not rinsing afterwards, at night I'm possibly ingesting what is remaining in my mouth. What should I do?
Besides the stomach cramps though, my teeth have been looking fabulous in such a short amount of time and receding gums slowly coming back. But stopped a few days ago to hopefully resolve my stomach issue. Please help ☹
I have been on your system for about 1.5 years. My teeth are so sensitive. If I eat an apple or most fruits my teeth are so painful I can’t tolerate touching my teeth with my toothbrush.
Wonder why Act no longer has the ADA seal?
@@kristic78 New packaging - plus the ADA seal doesn’t really mean much. It’s all about money..
@dr.elliephillips Good to know!
I live in the UK. Cannot get some products . Do you have UK similar products that can be used to get the same results. Thanks
Closys= Ultradex
ACT = Fluoriguard
Xylitol = Peppersmith
That’s brilliant 🤩 Thank you for your response.
