I have gum recession and some deep pockets. The dentist told me that I need to have all of my upper teeth extracted and replaced with implants at the cost of about $26,000. I refuse to do this. I have been using your system for 2 months and will continue to. I have noticed that my gums no longer bleed when brushing. I am also a huge believer in the body being able to heal itself.
I was recommended to have a cadaver transplant on my gums for one tooth in the front of my mouth. I started to make my own toothpaste out of coconut oil, baking soda, xylitol, stevia and peppermint essential oil. Within a year the gum grew back and my dentist thought I’d had surgery!
@@mwpahl38 I started with the recipe on Wellness Mama’s website. I tweaked it because I wanted to add xylitol and have a stronger minty taste. So it was basically coconut oil, baking soda, xylitol, stevia and essential oil. Do NOT spit this down your drain as it can eventually clog it when the coconut oil coagulates. Have fun with the recipe and experiment!
I have used coconut oil to brush my teeth but it gets so messy ..it drips out of my mouth into my shirt. Can I ask if there is a way to avoid the dripping?
What my ears heard: ~ Use xylitol, no liquid for an hour after use ~ Use mouth rinse that she recommends (maybe in a different video) ~ Stop flossing ~ Use specific toothbrushes, stimulate the gums (may be in a different video) ~ Use her mouth care system (maybe in a different video) ~ Retainers, Invisalign, and/or braces may be impacting the gum recession (take lots of photos & speak to Ortho) She has a book.
yes, I've seen a few of her videos and the information is all over the place in different videos instead of making a video with the all the information together and in order.
I've been using your system for about 6 months. Just went to the dentist for a cleaning, and the lady couldn't believe how much my gums have grown back.
Same here- used the system- they were impressed- (i’m post-menopausal- things changed!!) Go to her website- It’s very particular chemical formulas, so precisely these few options: First the ph neutral rinse Closys (mint or no- fine) Brush GUMS (like a massage- less at gum line because that may be irritating?- and brush down over teeth) with Crest anticavity (sodium fluoride) Rinse with listerine original or coolmint Then ACT Anticavity fluoride rinse-mint, cinnamon or bubblegum flavors only - nothing fancier. (she’s trying to reduce the number of possible irritants in each one of these rinses. Each part of this has scientific research she bases it off of. She owns the Zellie’s xylitol mint company- she wanted to create a mint that had no other sugars in it- just xylitol. I was using them before I heard about her and her protocol. 5th step- Use xylitol throughout the day Stimulating blood flow to the gums to help them heal (step two), and saliva is how teeth remineralize so the xylitol helps Keep the saliva flowing and keep the bacteria count down. (I was drinking so much water. I was washing away my saliva all day. Or at least sipping frequently. But maybe just understanding how to not irritate gum tissue, and how important saliva is might be enough. Maybe you don’t need to do all this other protocol stuff? I didn’t understand why I kept getting cavities so I’m doing the whole routine just to be safe. Make sure your nose breathing while you sleep because mouth breathing also irritates your gums . (J.Nestor book- Breath)
Sounds like a dream come true! But as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Please do share the before and after pics of these remarkable gum regrowth patients you have helped. Especially your own regrown gums. Thank you 🙌
Last month my dentist told me that my teeth look wonderful. Last year he said that my teeth look amazing. Two years now on Dr. Ellie's system. I’m 55 years old. One million thank you-s, Dr. Ellie!!!
@@ptk51 Go to her website. I don't know for certain, but you might find her system listed there. I learned about Dr. Ellie when AtoZ suggested her book to me: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye. I bought the book, read it, and then purchased at Wally World Mart the common items she uses in her system. It's important to follow the steps of her system properly or you could make your teeth and gums worse.
Would you mind sharing why you still feel the need to go to the dentist? I’m going to start Dr. Ellie’s system and am wondering if I will still go,for checkups and cleaning.
@@nancyj621 I had 2 cavities filled right before I started Dr. Ellies system. I go for x-rays and exams and still get cleanings although I know Dr. Ellie advises against cleanings. I told my dentist not to use the explorer on my teeth. He looks at the x-rays and does a visual exam. I'm 55 years old and menopause can cause issues so I will continue to get x-rays and exams and eventually stop getting cleanings.
Dr Ellie, I have struggled with dental issues all my life. I've been on you program for over 6 months and my dental health has done a 180 degree turn around. Thank you!!
How do we know these posts are real and not paid adverts? They all have the same format- 6 months, now you're awesome, but very little specifics, almost like a template is followed. Also, her video wasn't specific and she said she has dealt with receding gums successfully but never said her own gums grew back. No photos of before/after or video. Hmmm.
8 months of your complete mouth care system and I’m delighted at the results but have left the Dentist somewhat confused as to what he saw or perhaps lack of what he saw. X-rays before and after Dr Ellie’s complete mouth care system shows the success. (I wish I could share them here) Past history of 3 month cleaning, perio involvement ,even braces at 50 to “line the teeth up” so the dentist could clean more thoroughly because I was told I would lose my teeth by the time I was 60! Dr ELLIE you are touching the lives of so many people around the world that it would be almost impossible for you to count your success. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for my success which I am passionate about sharing and passing on to family and friends here in New Zealand. Ps my Dentist’s parting words were “don’t stop what you are doing, see you in a year”
I have followed Dr. ELLIS recommendations for four months. Good news is that I am not getting any build-ups anymore 😂. Bad news is that the recession has not improved that much, however, it has only been four months. One out of two is not bad for the cost of less than $25.00 . Thanks Dr. ELLIS.
I had deep pockets and severe gum and periodontal disease. I had 2 teeth extracted because they were virtually falling out on their own. I had a high sugar (fruit and grains) and very low fat lean meat diet, what is supposedly a healthy diet. I also had the grove from brushing whilst eating an acidic diet. The advice from my dentist was fluoride toothpaste and flossing, (both of which hadn't stopped it happening) but ultimately to have all the teeth removed! I discovered Wester A Price and a low carb diet. The moment I cut all sugars (carbs) and focused on fatty meat, my gums improved. I added Co end Q10, improved further and started oil pulling with coconut oil instead of brushing with toothpaste. Massive improvement, no more gum disease and 5 years later the X-ray showed periodontal disease had stopped.
Dr. Ellie basically saved my mouth. 38 yrs old with bad recession and those "channels" she mentioned. My mouth health is so much better. It's been about 75 days.
I’d love to know as well! I’m wondering if this is to sell a product or book, or both. I have some xylitol, clay, charcoal, etc.. I just don’t know what to do with it, but need help desperately. I’m gonna look at her page and see if I can find a recipe or explanation.. if I can’t find it, I’ll search the web for those kind enough to share the concoction
@@nathangrueber9834 the products are very modestly priced, I was pleasantly surprised. Seriously, look, compare... Definitely worth it compared to alternatives.
I won't say how many years it's been since I had a recommended deep cleaning, but here's why I don't have this done: The dental assistant said the cleaning would require novocaine and then gave me a shot. It did not numb my jaw. After 4 shots, I told her I couldn't move my eye. She said that wasn't possible. After 7 shots, the dentist came out and asked what was going on. She was upset with the assistant and told her my cranial nerves were obviously in a slightly different spot. Then she gave me the 8th shot, which finally numbed my jaw. That was just for my right side. They messed up 3 times in my left side, so in total, I was given 12 shots. So, if following your program keeps me from having to relive that nightmare (and yes, I was unable to even blink my right eye), I am more than happy to do your program. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Makes me glad I've refused the deep cleanings, thanks! I discovered several years ago that the CloSys worked very well, then I found Dr. Ellie's recommendations and have done these for about eight months now. I haven't returned to my dentist or hygienist, though I like both of them. I just don't think these modern larger dental offices are interested in more conservative methods; they can't make money if we don't come in often.
I can only imagine what your total bill was after all those injections. I’m sorry you had to go through that. In my book you’re totally justified in not going back. Hopefully Dr Ellie’s protocol is keeping you in tip top shape! 🥰
Dr Ellie's recommended system has saved my teeth and lots of money. I have been in her system for a little over 2 years. Dr Ellie is heaven sent to me. All of my previous dentists were unethical, simply crooks
@benfernkay8974 xylitol works wonders. Throughout the day , I swish my mouth with xylitol mints. So cheap , it's miracle. I am very grateful I save teeth
Dr. Ellie's Oral Boot Camp is 100% a game changer for everyone.. just take the step and follow her Complete Mouth Care System! I was in the Dental field for 23 years. At a young age I was obsessed about keeping my teeth clean, brushing with a hard toothbrush, flossing three to four times a day 🙁😥😬 and had cleaning every three months 🙁😭🙀!!! As you can imagine after listening to Dr. Ellie in this this video, I have recession.. UGH! I have been following her Complete Mouth Care System for three months and I have seen an amazing dramatic difference, so I canceled my cleanings, stopped flossing. The Act Fluoride Rinse has remineralized the soft spots and restored the enamel at the gum line and strengthened my enamel. The Zellies Xylitol Gum and Mints work miracles... when you use consistently and follow the exact guidance Dr. Ellie recommends. I am not being compensated in anyway shape or form by sharing my testimony. All you have to do is give her mouth care system a try for at least three months, you will not regret it!
I had a very inflamed gums, but after listening your advices I have no more inflammation in my mouth! Xylitol is really my best friend now! Thank you so much! Keep doing what you are doing! You do a big favour to all of us ❤
@@farahd4194you just rinse your mouth with it whether it's the tablets, gum or mouthwash. Swish it through your teeth throughout the day if you eat or drink anything.
@@farahd4194you just rinse your mouth with it whether it's the tablet, gum or the mouthwash. Rinse with Xylitol after you eat or drink throughout the day.
I'm 75. I did Dr. Ellie's cleaning system, and in just a week, I had no bad breath, and stopped making plaque entirely. I canceled my teeth cleaning because I had nothing to clean. It seemed incredible, but I now recommend this 'system'' to my friends and family. When I told my dental hygienist what Dr. Ellie advised prior to starting on her method, she said that it wouldn't work. (I do still use floss.). But, don't be hesitant in the use of the term 'system'; it;s about four steps, and particular toothpaste (with xylitol) and mouthwash, that takes about 3 minutes.
@@stephaniebrady31Dr Ellie only recommends using regular Crest toothpaste with fluoride, the original cheap one. Says anticavity on the tube. Cheapest one Crest makes.
@carmm4187 If you eat it. Is healthy for teeth. Rinse and brush with it, then spit out!!! The small amounts you might get from saliva rinsing the mouth is negligible. Been brushing with Fluoride since I was a kid.
Grateful to God that I’ve found this video today! I’ve been told it cannot be cured. I now have braces which makes maintaining my gum health even more difficult. I’m determined to take your recommendations and run for the sun with them!
Just started using the entire system x 1 month & though early, am finding absolute improvements. The routine itself helps me just stay thoughtful & aware of a few things. I cut out late night snacks ages ago---now, I'm back in routine of 'getting ready for bed', which I'd meant to do for ages (shut off computer, etc etc)--but never quite Did. Now? I remember I enjoy disconnecting, lowering lights, listening to music---bath time & Dr Ellie's system helps with that. Even xylitol has a place that makes sense. If only I'd known 50 years ago. What I appreciate most? The lack of judgement in Dr Ellie's approach. I've been traumatized by dental staff clucking at my abject failure as a human being and citizen. Honestly, some dentists may as well have a side door to their firing squad in the driveway. I appreciate this vid about recession v infection. Just having calm Information without hysterics is encouraging. Thank you.
💕🌟 that’s truly wonderful, and so healthy for your whole Self even beyond your teeth. Good for you for following through and making it happen! (For me, ‘knowing’ has not yet turned into ‘doing’) (May I also suggest considering Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work/meditations)
I am 10months in and black triangles are disappearing. Pockets are closing! Sensitivity was gone within a week of using system. I get compliments on how white my teeth are. Thank goodness I never agreed to a gum graft. Only wish I had found Dr Ellie years ago.
I used to have receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and I always suspected it was caused by my toothbrush being too hard. I used a ‘medium’ brush because I could never find any soft brushes. Suddenly I noticed some shops had started stocking soft toothbrushes so I bought several at a time and started using them. My gums grew back and no more sensitivity pain!
Add me to the list of all of the people wonderfully impacted by your work! I have just started with xylitol but already feel a huge difference. You are saving my health - many, many thanks!! 💕
I have been on your system using the alternative products you recommend in the UK for around 8 months...I have definitely found improvement, it's a slow process for me so please do not expect results overnight....I had a check up last week after finding an NHS dentist who was very interested in Dr Ellie's system and actually stated that whatever I was doing, keep it up as it is working for me, I had no plaque and had no need for a dental clean, he only wanted to give a quick polish which lasted 30 seconds....I had not been to the dentist for 6 months before this visit, so I am genuinely pleased with my results after using Dr Ellie's system and xylitol gum after every meal...I hope this helps someone wondering whether to try Dr Ellie's advice...and a huge thanks to her for the information she is sharing.
Here goes...I have bought zellies xylitol via UK Amazon, they are a bit pricey so I also use PUR 100% xylitol gum which can be purchased via Amazon and UK retailers. Crest toothpaste is now also available UK Amazon. Ultradex daily rinse ( don't add mint sachet though), Listerine Cool mint only, flouri guard rinse, all of these I have purchased in tesco and other UK supermarkets. Hope this helps and good luck🤞
Thank you for the information on where to buy these products in the UK. Does dr Ellie recommend the Colgate flouriguard mouth rinse instead of ACT for those of us in the UK? Thank you!
Dr.Ellie’s program IS working. It took almost a year for me to really start seeing results, but I have a few things slowing progress…an extended series of Invisalign (finally moved to nightly retainers a year ago) and I’m also 47, so there might be some hormonal changes starting? I don’t know. While on Invisalign, during the last 6 months, I noticed SIGNIFICANT gum recession and thinning…as in, gums receded more than 1/4 inch in the front 6 bottom teeth and about 1/8 inch everywhere else. Very uniform recession and thinning. The dentist deemed it to be most likely hormonal perimenopause, but to continue on with the Invisalign. It’s SO hideous. My kids got the game Speak Out, and I cringe every time they want to play. Anyhoo, it’s been about a year since I started Dr.Ellie’s program, not properly at first, was only doing it at night, with a quick brush in the AM and go. I’m finally seeing some changes, so I’m trying to get the full AM swishes in too. Using Dr.Ellie’s mints, and the Spry ones when they’re out of stock. I like to say I have little “gum buds” since the gum tissue seems to be growing in between my teeth faster than the front. It’s working and I’m happy! Thank you Dr.Ellie!
@@sweetbeep I hadn’t heard of that either until my dentist said it, but it seems like every dentist is trying to sell Invisalign nowadays. If I was trying to sell them, I would try to blame receding gums on something else too. I wouldn’t think it’s hormones as I’m still very regular…just receding gums and no other symptoms at all yet? Ya right. All that being said, I would get Invisalign again knowing what would happen to my gums. I had crossbite and had broken two molars from grinding and clenching. My teeth looked perfect from the front but my bite was way off on the sides. I had intense neck and jaw pain everyday, it was horrible. I wore mouthguards every night since I was a kid and they didn’t help. I have had NO pain at all since Invisalign fixed my bite. It’s such a relief.
@@sweetbeep I hadn’t either. My top jaw was smaller than my bottom, so my bite wasn’t lining up properly. I had my top teeth widened side to side and my lower ones pushed in a bit on the sides. I had the Invisalign “braces” with 26 attachments and rubber bands for 3 years, was supposed to be only 18 months. Due to 2 stubborn teeth not moving and a long office closure (thanks Covid) it was extended to 3 years. The retainers had to be worn for 6 months full time after my attachments came off. Now I just wear them at night…for the rest of my life. The way my dentist explained it: your teeth have a memory and they always want to go back to their original position, so if you don’t wear your night time retainers, they will start to move back. I believe this is true, since my retainers always fit well and are comfortable, but we went over vacation for a week and I opted to not bring them. When we got back and I put them in the first night, they were uncomfortable and tight for a bit.
I have been on your system for almost a year. My checkups were good but gums were receding and lots sensitivity prior to starting. My sensitivity is completely gone..my teeth look so white..lol (they were pretty white to begin with but are kind of crazy white now). My gum recession is gradually getting better. I wish i had taken a picture of when i started..but i can definitely tell they have improved in regards to recession. Will keep working at it:)… thank you for doing these videos. I promote your system to whomever will listen.
@@Flipping-earth My teeth were very sensitive to the Listerine at first. Could only hold for one second before spitting out. Now 8 weeks later, I can swish the stuff for a minute or more (tho it's still pretty strong for my tongue). My teeth have restored their biofilm and they feel much stronger, cleaner and brighter. Couldn't be happier with the results! All tooth pain is gone.
I've had excellent results with The complete mouth care system. I had a tooth bleeding and painful that was going to need extraction. Instead, I started her program Three weeks in the pain and bleeding stopped! That's been my incentive and now 6 months later, I wish I'd known of the complete mouth care system before having three implants. Those three implants exhibited the same symptoms now healed bleeding painful tooth had! I hope to never have an implant again. Slowly but surely my receeding gums using her method of brush straight down and another tip of just holding the toothbrush with two fingers so you're brushing gently I can see areas that my gums have grown. As slow as that is it works. Thank you Dr Ellie!
I'm having the same issue you once had. I've had 2 implants and had to have one taken out after 8 yrs. because of bone loss and it became infected. Now I'm noticing my other implant is causing me issues and I've noticed blood when I brush. Could you share what you use and how you use it? I've just moved and I don't have a dentist yet. I really don't want to lose this implant or any more teeth. I appreciate you. Thank you!
I am SOO thankful to find you here! I am a so-called dentist i dont practice due to visa reasons, but my teeth were getting bad! I know its happening, and im scared of treatments cuz they always end up having complications after the dental treatments. Now as a dentist ive lost faith in dentists and most their modalities. I love how you explain everything in a simple way. Thank you for giving me hope 🙏 💕
I just came to warn you about something. Don’t try to clean your pockets with a dental pick. I did, 2 nights ago. I had a very rapid spread of infection in my throat, in about 20 minutes, and one day later it spread to my knee. Since yesterday evening, I cannot walk. I went to the ER alone last night, waited until the morning but noone saw me. However they did do bloodwork and said they’d call me if the result came back as possible sepsis. They did not call. And my doctor father says it’s reactive arthrithis, caused by the gum infection. It hurts so much and I cant walk without crutches and barely then. I can’t go food shopping or anything. I got antibiotics from my father so Im on that since day one. But the swelling and pain is still there. I can’t even lift my leg. Anyway, I hopped home from the hospital this morning after buying some crutches because I don’t have a car because I walk everywhere normally.
OMG!!! Tears! Tears! Tears! My teeth seemed fine. They didn't hurt. I started taking my son to the dentist and got motivated to visit the dentist more often, myself. My teeth hurt all the time. My gums don't bleed. They seem to be receding. I got a deep cleaning. I have been scraped multiple times. I brush a lot and floss heavily, thinking I'm doing the Lord's work. My mouth hurts. I learned a few days ago that sleep apnea and dry mouth are affecting me. Now, this. I need it. I need it! I want to keep all of my teeth. Honestly, I was at the point of, "Screw it. I'm saving for dental implants."
I started a year ago and my recession is slowly improving. After using the total mouth cleanse as you discuss I stopped developing the placque/tartar. I used to feel the tarter just a week after a cleaning with my tongue. I no longer feel the tarter build up. Amazing! Love the toothbrush you recommend. I no longer floss. Thanks!
@@laurentdessi2783 It's working for me. Had a dental check up and some of the numbers for the gum recession check were smaller. Been using her system for over a year morning and night. The tartar not building up I noticed quick.
I am eight months into your program and I cannot thank you enough! I had serious problems and they have completely reversed. I always tell people to take the time to thoroughly learn your program.
I agree that this is a different approach and requires an understanding....one that understands the essence of oral health. Thanks for taking the time to explore my suggestions and strategies....
Thankyou Dr. Ellie you saved my teeth and I now don’t have to get a gum grafting I used your program my gums have quit bleeding. You are my teeth angel. Thankyou so much for saving my teeth and introducing me to listerine, and creating tooth paste and xylitol.
I always have bleeding after cleaning and recently I came in and there was no bleeding, I'm 9 months doing Dr. Ellie's system, I'm so in love with this, this is a gold mine for me❤
I had gum recession for awhile that I had stopped, but during the time I had it, I got gum line cavities. They're really ugly 😥 I'm in my 60s and my teeth aren't as strong as they used to be. These new gum line cavities are continuing to be a problem. 😢 I've been following your recommendations to stop and reverse the cavities but don't see improvement yet 😥 I do have less sensitivity in a couple teeth that were bothering me though!! 💖 So I know I'm at least I'm moving in the right direction. I'd become very distrustful of dentists long ago and am so happy I ran across you Dr. Ellie 💖 Thank you 💖
I have th same exact issue. I just got two of the gumline cavities filled. (my first two). I really want to cure the other ones. Can I ask how long you have been on the program?
I’d go as far as saying that these oral health practitioners are all in collusion to make money, rather than working towards a cure . When I asked my primary care dentist why my gum was bleeding despite everything I was doing, what could I do ? All he said was to go to a periodontist. Thanks to doctors Ellie’s system , I’ve experienced massive improvement.
@@sweetbeep I just started about a month ago. I do feel it's making a difference in the health of my teeth, but these gum line cavities are scaring me as I don't trust dentists and don't want to go. I just want them to magically heal. I did heal a gum line cavity (the only one I ever got to that point) about 2 decades ago. I actually got the enamel to grow back. It healed like a wound on our skin. But now I'm in my 60s and my teeth seem a lot weaker and these new gum line cavities are not seeming to want to heal.
@@LoveVanillaRose thanks so much. I am scared too! I have been reading a whole lot, as much as I can. There is this tooth putty from bliss energetics that some people get benefit from. They apply it as spot treatment. They spell it "puddy" for some reason. They don't always have it available but it's coming out in about a week again I think. Can I ask if the gumline cavity you had two decades ago had gum recession? Did the gums then grow back over? Did the color of the tooth change? Thank you!
@@sweetbeep Yes, it was from gum recession and I got the enamel to grow back over it. It healed like a scab on our skin and went back to white. The gums did not grow back the tooth just created enamel in the newly exposed area. But now that I'm older, that's not happening with my new gum line decay 😪 It's my own fault. When I get hard times in life I neglect my teeth. Slump..... I will be very grateful if I can at lease bring a halt to the decay process.
The xylitol has made all the difference in the world for my teeth and gums. Alkalizing in tandem has further improved even those results. My weakness is soda pops, but I've stopped sipping in favor of spaced drinking times and started rinsing with water after, minimizing the acidic exposure. I'm on a much better track than I was. Hope to be keeping my teeth.
So encouraged to hear your story. Sometimes when there is a lot of criticism I wonder why I bother to make YT videos …… but you encourage me to keep sharing what I know will work!
@@dr.elliephillips well if you really have good feedback and personal experience with clients ... why do you listen to people who do not know as much as you?
I was told 2 week ago by the Periodontist that I have a terrible case of gum recession in my upper and bottom gums( I had quimiotherapy 12 years ago, I believe somehow that is the reason of the problem) and that I need surgery to fix the problem, this surgery will cost me $16k , I started searching on line how to help my gums regrow without surgery and it says that gums don't regrow, but I came across a video from Dr. Ellie on UA-cam and I like what I heard , it makes sense to me, so this week Just started Dr. Ellie's Comple mouth care system and subscribe to the Boot Camp. It's amazing how clean my teeth feel every time I brush them,I feel very hopeful about my gums regrowing without having to go through the painful and expensive surgery.
That’s so awesome of you! 🙌 excited for your journey of discovery and healing. Please do come back and update us down the road. All the best to you! 🌟 (also if you wanna double up your healing powers, I recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations or anything)
I had gum flap surgery on my entire mouth due to bone loss and periodontal disease. Now I have a bunch of black triangles in my mouth. I miss my smile so I will give this system a shot. Thank you.
During my last cleaning the hygienist was alarmed to see the significant gum recession since my previous cleaning 6 months ago recommending a program of deep cleaning every 3 months. Since after the visit my mouth was very sore I began researching alternative treaments to avoid the pain of "deep cleaning". I was fortunate to find Dr. Ellie's videos which educated me on the cause of my issues as well as providing a program to resolve the problem. I have been following her mouth care program for 30days and feel like my gums are healing. But because i felt 'empowered ' i decided that i would try using a cotton ball with baking soda and water paste to speed up the process of eliminating the yellow stains. I gently wiped the paste over my teeth then realized the gums on the back of my bottom teeth began bleeding. So i am no longer experimenting and will continue to follow Dr Ellies program with more patience. I will go back to the dentist in 2 months to get an evaluation. I feel confident the dentist will see an improvement and will no longer recommend the deep cleaning. Thank you Dr. Ellie!😁
I can’t stop watching your videos!!!! I will try your tips and I’m so sure my gum recession will heal 😊 thank you for sharing all this AMAZING knowledge with us ❤
Thank you, Dr. Ellie! This is a really informative video. I have been on your system for 2 months now. My teeth are so smooth, I have no more cold sensitivity, my gums just feel good, and everyone is complementing on how white my teeth are! ❤❤
@@colleen8192 Can you swear that what you say is the reality ? Everything I saw so far with previous dentists I had has been so ridiculous and even dangerous… I feel really leery now… Please tell me the truth and if you really experienced something great…
I’ve been watching several of your videos last night and this morning. I bought you box of the system on your website, and ordered the tooth brushes from Amazon. Excited to get started. I’ve had a lot of dental problems throughout my life. I have a lot of crowns. I’m 65, hoping this helps with everything! 😂
It works 👍 I just want to share my experience with you: My gums had receded about 2-5 mm and I started following your advice about 2 months ago: I massaged, or rather brushed (I'm using an electric toothbrush), my gums twice a day and after 3-4 weeks I saw the first results. My gums have grown back almost completly. THANK YOU 🙌
Just waiting for my Ultradex to arrive but have got started with the rest. My teeth already feel so smooth from the Xylitol! I'm so glad i found your Complete Mouthcare Method. Thank you so much for all your help ❤️ love from England ❤️
Your videos are helping me so much and I'm following your protocol. I had nearly perfect teeth but I started being more aggressive with my flossing, started my day with an entire lemon squeezed into warm water, and I started using one of those drugstore sleep guards. Well - those 3 things caused my gums to recede and for pockets between my teeth to form. I was also a compulsive tooth brusher and water sipper. I am seeing improvements in my gums and I have you to thank. :-)
@@gigilaroux762 I don't know about the ones that you get at the dentist. I cheaped out and got one of the ones from the drugstore that you mold at home with hot water and it really hurt my gums.
Dr. Ellie,I have a two-part question for my wife and I. We have been using your mouth healthcare system a little over six months with all the products that you have recommended, including the toothbrush. 1. How do you remove black staining from teeth that I was told is caused by mouthwash? 2. My wife suffers with TMJ and she has to wear a night guard so that she does not grind her teeth in the middle of the night. She does have some gum recession. If it is possible, will you be able to make a video on UA-cam on how to properly massage your gums? Thank you.
I’m almost 57, use a soft toothbrush, always have. I never wear out a toothbrush, I have to mark on the calendar when to buy a new one or it’ll be a year!…I take good care of my mouth, no disease, no swollen gums, no calculus build up and still have gum recession. It started when I was in my teens after having braces. It’s not age related or anything else, I just have delicate tissues. 😞
I'm the same, I'm 44, my gum recession started after braces in my late teens, it gets worse every checkup, I haven't any cavities or had any other dental work, I use a soft toothbrush and I've got super straight perfect teeth. People often comment how good my teeth and smile look, I'm so worried about eventually losing them 😢
Thank you, Dr. Ellie Phillips! You are an angel from heaven! Your valuable information helps me a lot! When every message says there is no cure for gum recession, I get hope from you. In fact, I am a strict teeth cleaner and I have used a soft toothbrush, an electric toothbrush, for thirty years. I basically brush my teeth after every meal, three times a day! I hardly eat snacks. I used a thread to clean my teeth every night before going to bed. However, I noticed that my gums were receding and the gaps between my teeth were increasing. There was nothing I could do about it until I saw your UA-cam 6 months ago! From your video, I found that I only brushed teeth, but not gum early. Now I had brushed gum and teeth for six months with hard teeth brush. I see my gum is growing back! I am not bleeding in once! Thanks! Angel Dr. Ellie! Second information I got from video, after brushing teeth, I will not drink water or eating food in one or two hours. I will wait the gum and teeth protection has grew back. Third, after eating acid food, such as orange, don't brush teeth. Nowadays, I use Xlytol after luch, intead brushing teeth immediately. I use my saliva to let my gum grew! Thanks! Forth, I really don't like to go to see dentist, every time in teeth cleaning, my gum was bleeding a lot, and my teeth gap was increased. Now I really determined not to go to dentist to clean my teeth. After seeing your video, I am getting confidence! According to your complete mouth cleaning system, I started to use Listerine Teeth and Gum after brushing teeth. Early, I did have a attitude against all chemials.However, if it saves my gum and teeth, why not use it? I live in Finland, I still have problem to get all the product you suggested in your complete mouth cleaning system. However, I see my gum is grewing back! Thanks indeed!
Comfrey, vitamin C, wood ear mushrooms, no fluoride (I use Boka toothpaste - hydroxyapatite) chew on cloves throughout the day, and use turmeric mouthrinse (just put powder in)
@@karmelabun1999 - well I don't necessary want to recommend for others, but if you go this route, which some of us do, you definitely don't want to do sugar, which isn't good for us anyways. Even too much fruit isn't good - I keep it minimal. Collards and lentils, and beans, and sometimes internal hydroxyapatite supplements - but taking mg also to prevent cramping. If you start developing a cavity, it will fill back in as long as you are healthy and get your exercise, nutrients, and sleep, but you have to stop the reason it's starting in the first place. Often, a big part is low calcium - just as big of a part of the cause as sugar intake. People who are regular oatmeal eaters (daily) have issues with calcium and cavities. and ensure to brush regularly, oc, and floss too.
Thank you so much, Dr. Ellie~ I have receding gums and so appreciate all your help....going to your website and starting your program. You are such a gem...again, thank you!
As you know, I have started your complete mouthcare system. My gum recession is quite severe. If my gums grow back, I will be *very* happy. My hygienist says that this is impossible, though.
Take photos every week or month. And if you take them close enough that your face doesn't show (so you're anonymous), then you could share them with Dr. Ellie who could (if willing) post them as Before & After photos. I think having such photos would really help persuade more people! Best wishes to you.
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 I am 56, and I developed periodontal disease from out of the blue 25 years ago. If Dr Ellie's mouthcare system works as advertised, then I needed it back then. I now have much damage. It makes me sick to see my dental X-rays. I do expect to need 6 months to see the results.
I totally believe that almost anything can be reversed & healed in & by the body. It was designed to heal itself. Thank you for explaining it so well. Can I ask if there's an alternative to Xylitol? It has a very bad reputation in some areas. I wouldn't like to use it at all. There should be something that has the similar benefit for teeth. Thank you & blessings on your way ✨
Sounds like good advice! Would be ideal to have some visual illustrations to accompany your explanations as many folks learn visually. I’ll try out this advice.
I am following your program, and my teeth and gums are improving. I stopped flossing as well. Your program is amazing. I don't know if this is related, but I don't seem to getting sick anymore and I do a lot of global travel.
Thank you Dr Ellis, you saved my teeth. And my speech has improved 😮 I used to spit 😢when speaking this was so embarrassing😔but that is a thing of the past my speech is nice and crisp😀
Been on this system for about 3 months now along with xylitol after meals and drinks. I Would definitely say sensitivity issues have gone away with cold and sometimes hot beverages/food. I was getting sore gums in my rear teeth mostly on top and that has gone away completely. I didn’t take photos, but there is some progression to gum recession reversal! I was constantly annoyed by the dentist telling me that I brushed too hard and telling me I had receding gums. Wish I found out about this earlier! Highly recommend and will definetely chime in here on this channel on how things are going down the road!
I started the CMCS last year and some of my gums are growing back. In addition, adding vitamin K-2, which transports calcium from the blood into the teeth, is vital. It is available on the web. Mk-4. Aspirin stimulates the dentin stem cells.
How did you figure out that aspirin stimulates dentin stem cells? How do you do this process? We are trying to improve/save my sons teeth from under the gum line and bone decay from a root canal to the outer sections with gum recession, gumline and elsewhere cavities. It's been a very slow process. Have slowed it at least following Dr. Ellie's program for last 5 months. Do you think what you do would help save my son's teeth? I'd love to hear about your process. Thanks!
Thanks Dr. Ellie. I've waited years to go back to the dentist for a lack of trust. I will gladly give you 3 months and your plan a try before I go to the new one!
you confirmed my theory that after decades of professional extensive orthodontia work, my night grinding was a subconscious activity where my teeth were attempting to go back into alignment.
I have found xylitol floss! My teeth are overcrowded and misaligned. Love her program ! Had my daughter try it ONCE and she went right out and bought the products!
I am using your system for two weeks now and I feel such a difference on the surface of my teeth. I think it’s working! Two questions: 1. I wear a retainer at night to prevent damage from grinding my teeth at night. I’ve been waiting 15 minutes after doing your system before putting it in for the night. I want to regrow my gums, improve my recession. Do you recommend I not wear my retainer? Or, should I keep doing what I’m doing. 2. I’m 69 years old. Can I really regrow my gums by consistently following your system? If you say yes, I will be sooo excited. What say you? Your system makes so much sense. 👍
Your videos about dental problems is very informative and practical. Thanks for guiding people. Please add pictures to show what you are talking about. Thanks once again.
@@teresat6876have you subscribed to Dr Ellie's UA-cam channel? If you have, you can search through her video (s) for her complete mouth care system video. It has been a game changer for me. It's reduced my pockets drastically from 5s, 4s and 3s to only one 3 the last checkup about a month ago. I've only been using her system since February 2024.
I am 46 yrs old and unknowingly harmed my teeth by getting braces and using an electric toothbrush (receding gums and inflammation). Trying to undo the damage. I’m religious about using xylitol now after eating/drinking. I don’t sip on drinks in between meals anymore. I use a stimulator to floss instead of traditional floss. I use a childs toothbrush. I see small improvements but i suppose it takes a great deal of time to heal the damage.
So it’s been nearly a week of doing the system and I noticed immediately that my teeth seem cleaner. They are smooth and slick which is new for me. I still have some gum irritation and of course the recession, but I know that will take some time.
Dr. Ellie. What are your thoughts on braces? Can you make a detailed video on straightening the teeth and why so many kids are recommended to get braces. Are they a good option for overbites?
I'm in my 20's had braces at 19 and removed at 24, now im 26. I don't know whether I'll be going to have gum recession or not after few years, don't know if it has started already. I got cavity in my wisdom tooth and thinking about following her system, though except for listering other products are not available in India. Trying to find products to match hers. I wanted to know if braces result in cavities and stumbled upon these videos on gum recession and bone loss after braces. And I'm like wth. The first dentist had already extracted 2 upper and 2 lower teeth and after changing dentist I was told it was not required to extract 2 lower ones. Can't believeit, it must be mandatory for docs to be updated. Saw some conventional treatments as well like LANAP laser treatment to regrow bone lost to gum disease around tooth. Red light laser pointer treatment (unconventional). Thank god I found Orthotropics channel very early on it helped me understand the importance of a big jaw and consequences of eating soft food. It did improve the shape of my face and size as well.
I have been told by my dentist that I either grind or clench my teeth when I sleep. I believe that I possibly clench them but I’m not sure. I wear a retainer at night because about 15 or 16 years ago, my then dentist finally convinced me to get a night guard at his office. It cost me approximately $350. I should mention that my teeth were beyond beautiful at that time. I only had a couple of areas on my upper teeth where I had mistakenly brushed when I was a teen with a tooth brush that had hard bristles without knowing that this could hurt my gums and had therefore two spots near my canines that had a bit of gum recession. My teeth were perfectly aligned, white and very healthy. Dentists would tell me what pretty teeth I had. Being in the military we moved often so I u fortunately ended up seeing this dentist who convinced me to get a night guard from him. The strange thing is that he made this guard that pushed my bottom jaw out and it forced me to basically sleep with my lower jaw protruding and in order to swallow my tounge would push my upper teeth forward. I hope that you know what I’m talking about because it resembled a torture device. I followed his instructions and wore this thing for 8 months. When I returned for a cleaning 6 months later I began to notice that my teeth were no longer aligning properly. So at the cleaning he filed some of the bottom of my teeth so that they would not hit the tops and bottoms of each other when I closed my mouth or chewed something. This happened a couple of times I went to see him because the teeth kept hitting each other as my tounge kept moving my upper front teeth as I wore this strange retainer that had metal that held the upper and lower teeth in the strange position. So he then told me that he could put braces on me to put my teeth back in place as I was basically developing an open mouth. I thought that he out this apparatus that created an open bite in my mouth by having my tounge push the upper teeth out while I slept and swallowed. Now he wanted to charge me for braces to correct the problem. So I got another dentist after I spoke to an attorney while I considered suing him for what he had done. So I went to the dentist this attorney told me (over the phone) as I never met him in person. He said that this dentist was an ethical dentist. I saw him and he told me that he believed that it would be hard to prove and he recommended that I go to this very expensive orthodontist. I saw the expensive orthodontist and he recommended that I get these “sure smile” I believe they were braces. These were the metal braces that worked with a computer. I asked him why such drastic braces if the damage was done over the 8 months that I wore that strange night guard. I asked if Invisalign wouldn’t be better. He insisted that I go with the Sure smile ones I believed they were called. The difference in price was 7K for the Invisalign and 10K for the metal braces which is why no doubt he insisted that they be the metal ones. He wanted to remove molars and I said No so he didn’t. He just moved my teeth like crazy to correct the problem of the open bite. I wore the braces for about a year and a half as I recall. My teeth felt like rubber teeth when he removed the braces. My teeth prior to this were tight so tight that I had a hard time flossing ny teeth without tearing dental floss before. So since then I have worn the retainers every night for the last 14 years. The dentist that recommended I go to this orthodontist left his practice (retired I think) and a younger dentist took over. I like this new dentist who is extremely professional and I have grown to trust him. Unfortunately over the last 5 years or so that he has been my new dentist my gums have been receding even though I have done everything he has recommended. Since the retainers came off my teeth were brought down so food would get cought at the top of them so I always flossed and I always carried the de tal picks to remove any food particle that would get there. I used to use a water pick, I used baking soda, used the listerine mouthwash with fluoride, applied the Sensodine toothpaste to my gums under the retainer at night to help with the sensitivity that I grow get. I used to use an electric toothbrush but it hurt too much so I would use the very soft Colgate toothbrushes. Recently, maybe two months ago I found an electric toothbrush called Burst that is for people with sensitive gums. I found that I was still accumulating more tartar but with this last new electric toothbrush it had improved. At my two lower molars the dentist noticed substantial receding gums and that I had a pocket. There was some bleeding noticed which really surprised me. I began to notice that my gums had receded everywhere now. I have just discovered you in UA-cam and I am so glad. I got your two books today and I have been slowly educating myself by watching your videos. I got your gum, the xylitol sweeter, different toothpastes, probiotic lozenges and yesterday I ordered the rest of the items you recommended on Amazon. I had ordered different toothpastes the ones that are very expensive (before I knew which ones you recommended) but I was still happy with the amazing way they made my teeth feel really clean and smooth. My dentist scheduled me to see a periodontal specialist in two weeks to evaluate me by him even though he does not think that I need to have the procedure just yet. So far I have taken very good care of my teeth and even though I have gum recession basically everywhere now he thought that it would be wise to see what he recommended for the near future I supposed. To be honest I may just cancel that appointment with him but since it is just an evaluation I may keep it. But for sure I won’t agree to have the skin grafting of my gums now that I have discovered you. My dilemma is in hearing you mention in this video that wearing the retainers may make the program not work. Should I stop wearing my retainers at night? My dentist said that he can see that I clench my teeth at night. He noticed a developing fracture (superficial) in my right last lower molar and recommended that I get a crown to prevent it from fracturing all the way since that would require a root canal or implant. I am already implementing what you recommend. I am hoping that my gums will improve as I follow your plan. Please let me know what I can do regarding the dilemma of wearing the retainer at night. Don’t have malocclusion in other words I have proper teeth alignment. I fear that my teeth might move even though they are not moving they are firm. My gums don’t look inflamed or bleed they are just going down more and more which make me think that they are becoming separated from my teeth more and more. Please let me know what you recommend. This is very depressing. I am now 60 and like you my mother who had 6 kids had all of her teeth removed by her dentist due to ignorance. Back then or at least in my mothers case they were told that a woman would loose a tooth with every pregnancy. My father no doubt encouraged this. But he never lost a tooth. My mother had a beautiful smile. As she aged my father had the rest of her teeth removed which made no sense. He did have all of his kids get proper dental care from early childhood. Please respond to me with your recommendations when you have a chance. We are all blessed to have found you! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us all! I have all of my teeth.
Thank you Dr Ellie, you have been so helpful! I have been following your system for about 6 months and my teeth feel much better. I was hopeful my gums recession would reverse but after hearing your testimony I realize this won’t happen, it’s been too many years. However I think like you my teeth are okay and the gums are tight around the line they are at. Thank you again!
This is SO timely! Mine are getting bad - I just started your program last week and PRAY these steps will actually work. I wasn't using flouride much and no mouth rinses due to being told they wipe out good bacteria. Plus for 4 months basically quit all sugar & carbs (leakygut) & looks like candida is happening too. Thank you!
Please send an update. Remember that details - and the right toothbrushes are essential. You may like to visit my Oral health Video Bootcamp for details about how to do the gum massage etc. DrEllie.com.
If you're suggesting that you might be suffering from IBS from the leaky gut, then be very careful and maybe even omit the xylitol. I have IBS and it went into overdrive from the xylitol gum/mints/rinses/toothpaste. Xylitol has a laxative effect.
I started her program about 3 months ago and have had gum recession in the front lower part of my mouth. I will say that my mouth has felt extremely clean. I have noticed that plaque just doesn't build up, especially where i have a permanent retainer on the bottom,that will usually get plaque at some point after my cleanings, and it has had nothing since starting Dr Ellie's program.
I have used her routine for about 2 months along with xylitol swished for 5 minutes then spit out. I have a tooth that the filling fell out of and it has almost completely remineralized. It was not just a small whole where the filling had been.
@@dr.elliephillips Yes thank you, I will check out the massage, I do think circulation is important. I will definitely return with updates on my recession and other issues. I always tend to push on my brush too hard & also used electric toothbrush for years till I saw a video of you suggesting manual. Will stick with this!
17:20 the goal of orthodontic treatment is to get teeth aligned in the proper arch form. If you’re experiencing “recession from Invisalign” it’s possible either you’re doing online braces and not getting monitored properly by an orthodontist, or the specialist isn’t great. But this doesn’t mean “don’t get your teeth straightened” I’ve worked with patients with severe crowding and gum disease because they couldn’t properly clean the crowded teeth, and yes after straightening the teeth they developed recession in certain areas, but not because of Invisalign; rather because the Invisalign exposed hidden problems that we were then able to address. Please take everything you hear with a grain of salt.
Do you know that if people complain to invisalign about recession or mobility issues - they often settle out of court and get their money back, but with an agreement they will not share their negative experiences? This means we do not hear about the bad cases. As an RDH have you noticed recession associated with retainers personally? I had no idea until last year when I began to ask more questions about recession and discovered this was more prevalent than could be random.
@@dr.elliephillips I don't know, Dr. Ellie, I personally have been wearing retainers for years now and I haven't noticed any recession. Any recession I see on patients is clearly associated with either poor alignment (haven't had braces), bad oral hygiene (plaque building up at sites of recession, clenching and grinding, or things like attached frenum and/or thin tissue type, as well as fenestration of canines. What is it about retainers that you think would logically cause recession? the plastic material? In that case, there are microplastics in a lot of toothpastes, so we could blame toothpaste.. You are telling people to stop brushing teeth (brush gums instead), stop flossing, stop getting cleanings, but I feel it's misleading; even if your system works, a lot of people have a very bad oral health situation to begin with and need to get on track with a good dental cleaning first. You mention in passing that "if you have some serious problems, maybe get a dental cleaning, but then avoid cleanings in the future and use my complete system instead" I think at least that needs to be made very clear that people can't just jump in to your recommended routine... I don't have dental issues but I will probably try your system to have my own proof, but so far I feel like your recommendations are misleading at best. The problem also with a lot of the positive testimonies is the general public doesn't always understand what a "healthy mouth" looks like. periodontal disease, as you know, is a silent process, and if people see "cleaner teeth" on the surface or their tooth pain has subsided using your system, that is not necessarily an indication of optimal oral health. I'd love to see a thorough case study video following one patient's journey with your system, or even some photos and x-rays of your own teeth. I don't mean to be rude, I'm all for helping people avoid dental costs and oral health problems, but all your teaching is seriously going against everything I know to be true, so please understand my skepticism. Millions of people are watching your information and I want to make sure it's not harmful. Thanks for replying.
@@askahygienist if you look at statistics in the US 50 % 30 year olds have dental issues The numbers gradually increase so 97% of Seniors have expensive dental problems to contend with Our dental system makes no sense and it doesn’t work for 97% of people I’d love you to either try my system or let me work with one of your MOTIVATED patients - so you could see and even do bacterial testing to see the results
@@dr.elliephillips I understand that a lot of people have dental issues, but also, a lot of people don’t take care of their teeth properly. Most don’t brush correctly and even more don’t even bother to floss. Diet and lifestyle are also a mess. I personally don’t have any dental issues, not following your system. I’ve had bad teeth in the past, so it’s not like I’m genetically lucky, I just take good care of my teeth using traditional methods (brushing and flossing properly, consistently) and maintain good diet and lifestyle choices. I’m willing to try your system and see if I could truly avoid flossing and brushing my actual teeth and see it benefit oral health, but until then, I can’t recommend your teaching. Do you have any third party dentists/hygienists seeing benefits of your system on their patients or even their own teeth?
@@dr.elliephillips I’ve had a lot of work done on my teeth for many years. I have been told I have gum recession and bone loss. I went to a well established Orthodontic clinic also specialised in Invisalign, to have my teeth straightened for which I was quoted over $8000 because that is the only way the clinic would receive the max amount my insurance would pay them. You mentioned the settlement at court and it reminded me that the clinic required me to sign agreement to not hold the clinic in any way responsible for the results of the treatment with braces. My circumstances changed and I wasn’t able to start the treatment after all. Perhaps I got lucky?
My mouth changed so much and I don’t need to go to the dentist like I was to do every 3 months. My gum is much healthier and is growing back and I taking pictures for my progress. Thank you so much for what you are doing ❤️❤️🦷🦷🪥🪥
Dr. Ellis, your videos and information are very helpful to so many. We may need to watch several videos and read comments for specific answers to questions but it's nice that the answers can be found on your channel. Please keep sharing your knowledge ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the encouragement - sometimes it is hard to know if all this work and teaching is reaching people. I appreciate your comment very much. Thanks again. Ellie
@@dr.elliephillips Yes it's reaching us! I have gotten 5 of my friends on the program. But I have one stubborn friend who can't get past the mainstream products - the animal testing, the dubious ingredients, etc. She'll only buy very expensive products from the health food store. Which aren't working for her very bad receding gums and crumbling teeth. I even bought her her own kit with everything she needs, just to TRY it. No go. I myself, am ecstatic with the results.
My gums got to the stage where they were pouring with blood, like a nose bleed when brushing my teeth. They also receded quite a bit. Two months ago I decided to change from my electric toothbrush, to a Extra Soft Criss Cross Bristle toothbrush...and wow, the bleeding is virtually non existent, when I use mouth wash after brushing there's no particles....the need for flossing has decreased. My gums are now regrowing, which I found strange, because I read they couldn't regrow. So I brush 2 or 3 times a day, and Mouthwash morning and night. I also rinse my mouth with plain clear water after certain food and drinks. Seems to have worked for me 🤷♀️ ....but I'll definitely give these systems a go too.
Many, many of the studies in the 1970s were with pregnant women. Yes, xylitol is a pre-biotic and helps improve the microbiome of the mouth and gut. Studies in 2022 in Malawi showed that xylitol consumed during pregnancy could lower risk for preterm birth.
"ask" your dentist if you can try something else? The dentist works for me. He/she better better be asking my permission if I want his/her treatment. If the dentist ever even hints like he/she thinks they're in charge, they are effing fired.
Good for you! So many people just accept whatever any doctor or dentist as gospel, taking any treatment or drug they prescribe mindlessly. We are trained to do that. I'm glad you brought it up. I'm sending my dentist a note to let them know exactly what I want next visit...and it's not a 'standard' cleaning.
No..in some contries are working either- standards (minimizing risks) - as much as possible work on any single tooth. Depending what is their financial goal
Finally I understand I will never grt rid of sensitivity. I thought I was doing something terrible wrong and I was about to schedule a dentist appointment In my country I don't find Crest nor Act but I'm using the other products and xylitol Still my sensitivity maintains although some weeks are worse than others - the week prior to having my period is horrible, I can barely brush my teeth due to the amount of pain.
If you are using Listerine without using Crest (or an equivalent sodium flouride toothpaste) and Act (or an equivalent sodium flouride rinse) the Listerine will worsen your sensitivity. If you brush after Listerine you will erode your teeth. You can buy the products online and import them to your country.
I have been using Xylitol chewing gums for about 3 months now. My bleeding gums have stopped bleeding and are looking healthier. My plaques are also degenerating into bits and am getting rid of them.
I recently tried this, but I think I purchased an inferior brand of Xylitol. Some people said you can use Xylitol as a sweetener, so I used it in my oatmeal and tea one day. That night I had severe diarrhea. This is the xylitol that made me ill: microingredients Xylitol Granules From Natural Birch. I am not usually sensitive to different foods. I don't have allergies. So, I was surprised when I got ill from what seemed like a natural food. I wasn't sure if it was the Xylitol that made me ill, so I waited a few days before trying a little again in my tea. That night I had some diarrhea again. When I try a different brand of Xylitol, I will first try just using it as a mouth rinse. I see the very good experiences from the comments below.
I have been using your system for a about 6 months and I an definitely tell it works. If I have no calculus to clean off at my next cleaning I am going to stop going and having that done. I do have some gum recession and it has stopped but it doewsn;t grow upwards and repair that I can tell. Is wearing a night-guard the reason? I need to wear one at night for grinding. Thank you Dr Ellie!
I have gum recession and some deep pockets. The dentist told me that I need to have all of my upper teeth extracted and replaced with implants at the cost of about $26,000. I refuse to do this. I have been using your system for 2 months and will continue to. I have noticed that my gums no longer bleed when brushing. I am also a huge believer in the body being able to heal itself.
I wish you the best ❤
May your body heal 🌸💞
Ditto.
14k just for extraction. Denied.
I'd like to avoid all the mental health issues that follow extracting your teeth. Like Alzheimers.
@@renaissancemaneric8019I've never heard about there being mental health issues from extracting teeth 😢 I had a tooth extracted 2 years ago
Can you please explain the system? Have been seeing her stuff for some time now, but only get bits and pieces.
YES PLS, EXPLAIN.🤔🙏🏽 THNX🌺☮️
I was recommended to have a cadaver transplant on my gums for one tooth in the front of my mouth. I started to make my own toothpaste out of coconut oil, baking soda, xylitol, stevia and peppermint essential oil. Within a year the gum grew back and my dentist thought I’d had surgery!
Could you tell me the proportions you use please?
that's very good it's meant to be impossible for gum to grow due to the type of tissue it is.
@@mwpahl38 I started with the recipe on Wellness Mama’s website. I tweaked it because I wanted to add xylitol and have a stronger minty taste. So it was basically coconut oil, baking soda, xylitol, stevia and essential oil. Do NOT spit this down your drain as it can eventually clog it when the coconut oil coagulates. Have fun with the recipe and experiment!
I have used coconut oil to brush my teeth but it gets so messy ..it drips out of my mouth into my shirt. Can I ask if there is a way to avoid the dripping?
@@sweetbeep use less. A little goes a long way.
What my ears heard:
~ Use xylitol, no liquid for an hour after use
~ Use mouth rinse that she recommends (maybe in a different video)
~ Stop flossing
~ Use specific toothbrushes, stimulate the gums (may be in a different video)
~ Use her mouth care system (maybe in a different video)
~ Retainers, Invisalign, and/or braces may be impacting the gum recession (take lots of photos & speak to Ortho)
She has a book.
Listening to this video is very frustrating.
I guess she’s making money off the videos? No real scientific information here. Sad.
yes, I've seen a few of her videos and the information is all over the place in different videos instead of making a video with the all the information together and in order.
She is not good at explaining things in order and chronologically.
Thanks for the synopsis. Xylitol, I'll look it up.
She waffles and waffles, then waffles again. I won't be coming back.
I've been using your system for about 6 months. Just went to the dentist for a cleaning, and the lady couldn't believe how much my gums have grown back.
what is her system?
Same here- used the system- they were impressed- (i’m post-menopausal- things changed!!)
Go to her website-
It’s very particular chemical formulas, so precisely these few options:
First the ph neutral rinse
Closys (mint or no- fine)
Brush GUMS (like a massage- less at gum line because that may be irritating?- and brush down over teeth) with Crest anticavity (sodium fluoride)
Rinse with listerine original or coolmint
Then ACT Anticavity fluoride rinse-mint, cinnamon or bubblegum flavors only - nothing fancier. (she’s trying to reduce the number of possible irritants in each one of these rinses. Each part of this has scientific research she bases it off of. She owns the Zellie’s xylitol mint company- she wanted to create a mint that had no other sugars in it- just xylitol. I was using them before I heard about her and her protocol.
5th step- Use xylitol throughout the day
Stimulating blood flow to the gums to help them heal (step two), and saliva is how teeth remineralize so the xylitol helps Keep the saliva flowing and keep the bacteria count down. (I was drinking so much water. I was washing away my saliva all day. Or at least sipping frequently.
But maybe just understanding how to not irritate gum tissue, and how important saliva is might be enough. Maybe you don’t need to do all this other protocol stuff? I didn’t understand why I kept getting cavities so I’m doing the whole routine just to be safe.

Last month my dentist told me that my teeth look wonderful. Last year he said that my teeth look amazing. Two years now on Dr. Ellie's system. I’m 55 years old. One million thank you-s, Dr. Ellie!!!
What is her system please, can you post it here? or where to get it??
@@ptk51 Go to her website. I don't know for certain, but you might find her system listed there. I learned about Dr. Ellie when AtoZ suggested her book to me: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye. I bought the book, read it, and then purchased at Wally World Mart the common items she uses in her system. It's important to follow the steps of her system properly or you could make your teeth and gums worse.

Would you mind sharing why you still feel the need to go to the dentist? I’m going to start Dr. Ellie’s system and am wondering if I will still go,for checkups and cleaning.
@@nancyj621 I had 2 cavities filled right before I started Dr. Ellies system. I go for x-rays and exams and still get cleanings although I know Dr. Ellie advises against cleanings. I told my dentist not to use the explorer on my teeth. He looks at the x-rays and does a visual exam. I'm 55 years old and menopause can cause issues so I will continue to get x-rays and exams and eventually stop getting cleanings.
Dr Ellie, I have struggled with dental issues all my life. I've been on you program for over 6 months and my dental health has done a 180 degree turn around. Thank you!!

How do we know these posts are real and not paid adverts? They all have the same format- 6 months, now you're awesome, but very little specifics, almost like a template is followed. Also, her video wasn't specific and she said she has dealt with receding gums successfully but never said her own gums grew back. No photos of before/after or video. Hmmm.
8 months of your complete mouth care system and I’m delighted at the results but have left the Dentist somewhat confused as to what he saw or perhaps lack of what he saw. X-rays before and after Dr Ellie’s complete mouth care system shows the success. (I wish I could share them here)
Past history of 3 month cleaning, perio involvement ,even braces at 50 to “line the teeth up” so the dentist could clean more thoroughly because I was told I would lose my teeth by the time I was 60!
Dr ELLIE you are touching the lives of so many people around the world that it would be almost impossible for you to count your success.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for my success which I am passionate about sharing and passing on to family and friends here in New Zealand.

Thank you for sharing!
I have followed Dr. ELLIS recommendations for four months. Good news is that I am not getting any build-ups anymore 😂. Bad news is that the recession has not improved that much, however, it has only been four months.
One out of two is not bad for the cost of less than $25.00 .
Thanks Dr. ELLIS.
I had deep pockets and severe gum and periodontal disease. I had 2 teeth extracted because they were virtually falling out on their own. I had a high sugar (fruit and grains) and very low fat lean meat diet, what is supposedly a healthy diet. I also had the grove from brushing whilst eating an acidic diet. The advice from my dentist was fluoride toothpaste and flossing, (both of which hadn't stopped it happening) but ultimately to have all the teeth removed! I discovered Wester A Price and a low carb diet. The moment I cut all sugars (carbs) and focused on fatty meat, my gums improved. I added Co end Q10, improved further and started oil pulling with coconut oil instead of brushing with toothpaste. Massive improvement, no more gum disease and 5 years later the X-ray showed periodontal disease had stopped.
no brushing?
Dr. Ellie basically saved my mouth. 38 yrs old with bad recession and those "channels" she mentioned. My mouth health is so much better. It's been about 75 days.
hi, can you explain to me exactly whats the system? is it just chewing the xylitol gum or mints? how often? or is this information in her books?
I’d love to know as well!
I’m wondering if this is to sell a product or book, or both.
I have some xylitol, clay, charcoal, etc.. I just don’t know what to do with it, but need help desperately.

Basicly it all comes down to how much money do you have to buy lots of products. Its a system fir the rich
@@nathangrueber9834 the products are very modestly priced, I was pleasantly surprised. Seriously, look, compare... Definitely worth it compared to alternatives.
I won't say how many years it's been since I had a recommended deep cleaning, but here's why I don't have this done: The dental assistant said the cleaning would require novocaine and then gave me a shot. It did not numb my jaw. After 4 shots, I told her I couldn't move my eye. She said that wasn't possible. After 7 shots, the dentist came out and asked what was going on. She was upset with the assistant and told her my cranial nerves were obviously in a slightly different spot. Then she gave me the 8th shot, which finally numbed my jaw. That was just for my right side. They messed up 3 times in my left side, so in total, I was given 12 shots. So, if following your program keeps me from having to relive that nightmare (and yes, I was unable to even blink my right eye), I am more than happy to do your program. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Makes me glad I've refused the deep cleanings, thanks! I discovered several years ago that the CloSys worked very well, then I found Dr. Ellie's recommendations and have done these for about eight months now. I haven't returned to my dentist or hygienist, though I like both of them. I just don't think these modern larger dental offices are interested in more conservative methods; they can't make money if we don't come in often.
I can only imagine what your total bill was after all those injections. I’m sorry you had to go through that. In my book you’re totally justified in not going back. Hopefully Dr Ellie’s protocol is keeping you in tip top shape! 🥰
I refuse to do deep cleanings so I’m looking for alternatives
Wow, how incompetent they were! I wonder how it would be with tooth extraction if they couldn't do it right with deep cleaning.
So sorry you went through that!
Dr Ellie's recommended system has saved my teeth and lots of money. I have been in her system for a little over 2 years. Dr Ellie is heaven sent to me. All of my previous dentists were unethical, simply crooks

Dr. Ellie's Oral Boot Camp is 100% a game changer for everyone.. just take the step and follow her Complete Mouth Care System! I was in the Dental field for 23 years. At a young age I was obsessed about keeping my teeth clean, brushing with a hard toothbrush, flossing three to four times a day 🙁😥😬 and had cleaning every three months 🙁😭🙀!!! As you can imagine after listening to Dr. Ellie in this this video, I have recession.. UGH! I have been following her Complete Mouth Care System for three months and I have seen an amazing dramatic difference, so I canceled my cleanings, stopped flossing. The Act Fluoride Rinse has remineralized the soft spots and restored the enamel at the gum line and strengthened my enamel. The Zellies Xylitol Gum and Mints work miracles... when you use consistently and follow the exact guidance Dr. Ellie recommends. I am not being compensated in anyway shape or form by sharing my testimony. All you have to do is give her mouth care system a try for at least three months, you will not regret it!
Ok I will give it a go. My teeth are my despair.
Sounds amazing. Do you have any before and after pictures to share? Would love to see the incredible results you’re sharing here. Thank you 🙌
I had a very inflamed gums, but after listening your advices I have no more inflammation in my mouth! Xylitol is really my best friend now! Thank you so much! Keep doing what you are doing! You do a big favour to all of us ❤

You strike me as a very honest person. Thank you for this information.
I'm 75. I did Dr. Ellie's cleaning system, and in just a week, I had no bad breath, and stopped making plaque entirely. I canceled my teeth cleaning because I had nothing to clean. It seemed incredible, but I now recommend this 'system'' to my friends and family. When I told my dental hygienist what Dr. Ellie advised prior to starting on her method, she said that it wouldn't work. (I do still use floss.). But, don't be hesitant in the use of the term 'system'; it;s about four steps, and particular toothpaste (with xylitol) and mouthwash, that takes about 3 minutes.
What toothpaste?
I’ve been debating the getting xylitol toothpaste for afternoon use. Which one have you had good luck with?
@@stephaniebrady31Dr Ellie only recommends using regular Crest toothpaste with fluoride, the original cheap one. Says anticavity on the tube. Cheapest one Crest makes.
Isn't fluoride bad
@carmm4187 If you eat it. Is healthy for teeth. Rinse and brush with it, then spit out!!! The small amounts you might get from saliva rinsing the mouth is negligible. Been brushing with Fluoride since I was a kid.
Grateful to God that I’ve found this video today! I’ve been told it cannot be cured. I now have braces which makes maintaining my gum health even more difficult. I’m determined to take your recommendations and run for the sun with them!
Any update?
Just started using the entire system x 1 month & though early, am finding absolute improvements. The routine itself helps me just stay thoughtful & aware of a few things. I cut out late night snacks ages ago---now, I'm back in routine of 'getting ready for bed', which I'd meant to do for ages (shut off computer, etc etc)--but never quite Did. Now? I remember I enjoy disconnecting, lowering lights, listening to music---bath time & Dr Ellie's system helps with that. Even xylitol has a place that makes sense. If only I'd known 50 years ago. What I appreciate most? The lack of judgement in Dr Ellie's approach. I've been traumatized by dental staff clucking at my abject failure as a human being and citizen. Honestly, some dentists may as well have a side door to their firing squad in the driveway. I appreciate this vid about recession v infection. Just having calm Information without hysterics is encouraging. Thank you.

💕🌟 that’s truly wonderful, and so healthy for your whole Self even beyond your teeth. Good for you for following through and making it happen! (For me, ‘knowing’ has not yet turned into ‘doing’) (May I also suggest considering Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work/meditations)
I am 10months in and black triangles are disappearing. Pockets are closing! Sensitivity was gone within a week of using system. I get compliments on how white my teeth are. Thank goodness I never agreed to a gum graft. Only wish I had found Dr Ellie years ago.

I used to have receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and I always suspected it was caused by my toothbrush being too hard. I used a ‘medium’ brush because I could never find any soft brushes. Suddenly I noticed some shops had started stocking soft toothbrushes so I bought several at a time and started using them. My gums grew back and no more sensitivity pain!

I have been on your system using the alternative products you recommend in the UK for around 8 months...I have definitely found improvement, it's a slow process for me so please do not expect results overnight....I had a check up last week after finding an NHS dentist who was very interested in Dr Ellie's system and actually stated that whatever I was doing, keep it up as it is working for me, I had no plaque and had no need for a dental clean, he only wanted to give a quick polish which lasted 30 seconds....I had not been to the dentist for 6 months before this visit, so I am genuinely pleased with my results after using Dr Ellie's system and xylitol gum after every meal...I hope this helps someone wondering whether to try Dr Ellie's advice...and a huge thanks to her for the information she is sharing.
FANTASTIC !
Ive been looking for the UK alternatives, can you point me in the right direction, thank you
Here goes...I have bought zellies xylitol via UK Amazon, they are a bit pricey so I also use PUR 100% xylitol gum which can be purchased via Amazon and UK retailers. Crest toothpaste is now also available UK Amazon. Ultradex daily rinse ( don't add mint sachet though), Listerine Cool mint only, flouri guard rinse, all of these I have purchased in tesco and other UK supermarkets. Hope this helps and good luck🤞

Thank you for the information on where to buy these products in the UK. Does dr Ellie recommend the Colgate flouriguard mouth rinse instead of ACT for those of us in the UK? Thank you!
Dr.Ellie’s program IS working.
It took almost a year for me to really start seeing results, but I have a few things slowing progress…an extended series of Invisalign (finally moved to nightly retainers a year ago) and I’m also 47, so there might be some hormonal changes starting? I don’t know.
While on Invisalign, during the last 6 months, I noticed SIGNIFICANT gum recession and thinning…as in, gums receded more than 1/4 inch in the front 6 bottom teeth and about 1/8 inch everywhere else. Very uniform recession and thinning. The dentist deemed it to be most likely hormonal perimenopause, but to continue on with the Invisalign. It’s SO hideous. My kids got the game Speak Out, and I cringe every time they want to play.
Anyhoo, it’s been about a year since I started Dr.Ellie’s program, not properly at first, was only doing it at night, with a quick brush in the AM and go. I’m finally seeing some changes, so I’m trying to get the full AM swishes in too. Using Dr.Ellie’s mints, and the Spry ones when they’re out of stock.
I like to say I have little “gum buds” since the gum tissue seems to be growing in between my teeth faster than the front. It’s working and I’m happy!
Thank you Dr.Ellie!
Can I ask if you think it's the Invisalign that caused gum recession? I never heard of perimenopause causing gum recession
@@sweetbeep I hadn’t heard of that either until my dentist said it, but it seems like every dentist is trying to sell Invisalign nowadays. If I was trying to sell them, I would try to blame receding gums on something else too. I wouldn’t think it’s hormones as I’m still very regular…just receding gums and no other symptoms at all yet? Ya right.
All that being said, I would get Invisalign again knowing what would happen to my gums. I had crossbite and had broken two molars from grinding and clenching. My teeth looked perfect from the front but my bite was way off on the sides. I had intense neck and jaw pain everyday, it was horrible. I wore mouthguards every night since I was a kid and they didn’t help. I have had NO pain at all since Invisalign fixed my bite. It’s such a relief.
But you could've gotten braces instead of Invisalign. Maybe the trays caused the recession where traditional braces wouldn't have them.
@@Sunshine_craycray oh wow. I am so sorry. Can I ask if you have to wear the Invisalign indefinitely?
Also I never heard of a cross bite.
@@sweetbeep I hadn’t either. My top jaw was smaller than my bottom, so my bite wasn’t lining up properly. I had my top teeth widened side to side and my lower ones pushed in a bit on the sides.
I had the Invisalign “braces” with 26 attachments and rubber bands for 3 years, was supposed to be only 18 months. Due to 2 stubborn teeth not moving and a long office closure (thanks Covid) it was extended to 3 years.
The retainers had to be worn for 6 months full time after my attachments came off. Now I just wear them at night…for the rest of my life.
The way my dentist explained it: your teeth have a memory and they always want to go back to their original position, so if you don’t wear your night time retainers, they will start to move back.
I believe this is true, since my retainers always fit well and are comfortable, but we went over vacation for a week and I opted to not bring them. When we got back and I put them in the first night, they were uncomfortable and tight for a bit.
I have been on your system for almost a year. My checkups were good but gums were receding and lots sensitivity prior to starting. My sensitivity is completely gone..my teeth look so white..lol (they were pretty white to begin with but are kind of crazy white now). My gum recession is gradually getting better. I wish i had taken a picture of when i started..but i can definitely tell they have improved in regards to recession. Will keep working at it:)… thank you for doing these videos. I promote your system to whomever will listen.

@@JustHereToHear DrEllie.com
In the very beginning, is it normal to have sensitive teeth when starting the process I noticed the doctor didn’t reply
@@Flipping-earth My teeth were very sensitive to the Listerine at first. Could only hold for one second before spitting out. Now 8 weeks later, I can swish the stuff for a minute or more (tho it's still pretty strong for my tongue). My teeth have restored their biofilm and they feel much stronger, cleaner and brighter. Couldn't be happier with the results! All tooth pain is gone.
I've had excellent results with The complete mouth care system. I had a tooth bleeding and painful that was going to need extraction. Instead, I started her program Three weeks in the pain and bleeding stopped! That's been my incentive and now 6 months later, I wish I'd known of the complete mouth care system before having three implants. Those three implants exhibited the same symptoms now healed bleeding painful tooth had! I hope to never have an implant again. Slowly but surely my receeding gums using her method of brush straight down and another tip of just holding the toothbrush with two fingers so you're brushing gently I can see areas that my gums have grown. As slow as that is it works. Thank you Dr Ellie!

Are you trying her complete mouth care system?
I just came to warn you about something. Don’t try to clean your pockets with a dental pick. I did, 2 nights ago. I had a very rapid spread of infection in my throat, in about 20 minutes, and one day later it spread to my knee. Since yesterday evening, I cannot walk. I went to the ER alone last night, waited until the morning but noone saw me. However they did do bloodwork and said they’d call me if the result came back as possible sepsis. They did not call. And my doctor father says it’s reactive arthrithis, caused by the gum infection. It hurts so much and I cant walk without crutches and barely then. I can’t go food shopping or anything. I got antibiotics from my father so Im on that since day one. But the swelling and pain is still there. I can’t even lift my leg. Anyway, I hopped home from the hospital this morning after buying some crutches because I don’t have a car because I walk everywhere normally.
OMG!!! Tears! Tears! Tears! My teeth seemed fine. They didn't hurt. I started taking my son to the dentist and got motivated to visit the dentist more often, myself. My teeth hurt all the time. My gums don't bleed. They seem to be receding. I got a deep cleaning. I have been scraped multiple times. I brush a lot and floss heavily, thinking I'm doing the Lord's work. My mouth hurts. I learned a few days ago that sleep apnea and dry mouth are affecting me. Now, this. I need it. I need it! I want to keep all of my teeth. Honestly, I was at the point of, "Screw it. I'm saving for dental implants."

I have th same exact issue. I just got two of the gumline cavities filled. (my first two). I really want to cure the other ones. Can I ask how long you have been on the program?
I’d go as far as saying that these oral health practitioners are all in collusion to make money, rather than working towards a cure . When I asked my primary care dentist why my gum was bleeding despite everything I was doing, what could I do ? All he said was to go to a periodontist. Thanks to doctors Ellie’s system , I’ve experienced massive improvement.
@@sweetbeep I just started about a month ago. I do feel it's making a difference in the health of my teeth, but these gum line cavities are scaring me as I don't trust dentists and don't want to go. I just want them to magically heal. I did heal a gum line cavity (the only one I ever got to that point) about 2 decades ago. I actually got the enamel to grow back. It healed like a wound on our skin. But now I'm in my 60s and my teeth seem a lot weaker and these new gum line cavities are not seeming to want to heal.
@@LoveVanillaRose thanks so much. I am scared too! I have been reading a whole lot, as much as I can. There is this tooth putty from bliss energetics that some people get benefit from. They apply it as spot treatment. They spell it "puddy" for some reason. They don't always have it available but it's coming out in about a week again I think.
Can I ask if the gumline cavity you had two decades ago had gum recession? Did the gums then grow back over? Did the color of the tooth change?
Thank you!
@@sweetbeep Yes, it was from gum recession and I got the enamel to grow back over it. It healed like a scab on our skin and went back to white.
The gums did not grow back the tooth just created enamel in the newly exposed area. But now that I'm older, that's not happening with my new gum line decay 😪
It's my own fault. When I get hard times in life I neglect my teeth. Slump.....
I will be very grateful if I can at lease bring a halt to the decay process.
The xylitol has made all the difference in the world for my teeth and gums. Alkalizing in tandem has further improved even those results. My weakness is soda pops, but I've stopped sipping in favor of spaced drinking times and started rinsing with water after, minimizing the acidic exposure. I'm on a much better track than I was. Hope to be keeping my teeth.

It's amazing how clean my teeth feel every time I brush them,I feel very hopeful about my gums regrowing without having to go through the painful and expensive surgery.
Can I ask what all you are going to do to regrow your gums? I have heard various things like massaging them with castor oil.
That’s so awesome of you! 🙌 excited for your journey of discovery and healing. Please do come back and update us down the road. All the best to you! 🌟 (also if you wanna double up your healing powers, I recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations or anything)
@@skittles2055 hi. Can you tell me how Joe Dispenza's stuff can help to heal our mouth? What exactly happens physiologically with this?
@@sweetbeep his books explains it very well.
I had gum flap surgery on my entire mouth due to bone loss and periodontal disease. Now I have a bunch of black triangles in my mouth. I miss my smile so I will give this system a shot. Thank you.
During my last cleaning the hygienist was alarmed to see the significant gum recession since my previous cleaning 6 months ago recommending a program of deep cleaning every 3 months. Since after the visit my mouth was very sore I began researching alternative treaments to avoid the pain of "deep cleaning". I was fortunate to find Dr. Ellie's videos which educated me on the cause of my issues as well as providing a program to resolve the problem. I have been following her mouth care program for 30days and feel like my gums are healing. But because i felt 'empowered ' i decided that i would try using a cotton ball with baking soda and water paste to speed up the process of eliminating the yellow stains. I gently wiped the paste over my teeth then realized the gums on the back of my bottom teeth began bleeding. So i am no longer experimenting and will continue to follow Dr
Ellies program with more patience. I will go back to the dentist in 2 months to get an evaluation. I feel confident the dentist will see an improvement and will no longer recommend the deep cleaning. Thank you Dr. Ellie!😁
I can’t stop watching your videos!!!! I will try your tips and I’m so sure my gum recession will heal 😊 thank you for sharing all this AMAZING knowledge with us ❤
Following closely - 34yo with “recession of someone in their 50’s” from hard brushing my entire life. Gluten free diet and making a new start 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thank you, Dr. Ellie! This is a really informative video. I have been on your system for 2 months now. My teeth are so smooth, I have no more cold sensitivity, my gums just feel good, and everyone is complementing on how white my teeth are! ❤❤
I have been using your system forv6 months, so happy. The difference is great. Actually looking forward to seeing a dentist. Thankyou Dr Ellie ❤
@@colleen8192 Can you swear that what you say is the reality ? Everything I saw so far with previous dentists I had has been so ridiculous and even dangerous… I feel really leery now… Please tell me the truth and if you really experienced something great…
I’ve been watching several of your videos last night and this morning. I bought you box of the system on your website, and ordered the tooth brushes from Amazon. Excited to get started. I’ve had a lot of dental problems throughout my life. I have a lot of crowns. I’m 65, hoping this helps with everything! 😂
Best of luck to you. I'm overjoyed at the results of my 8 weeks using her system. Finally, hope for my mouth!!!
It works 👍
I just want to share my experience with you: My gums had receded about 2-5 mm and I started following your advice about 2 months ago: I massaged, or rather brushed (I'm using an electric toothbrush), my gums twice a day and after 3-4 weeks I saw the first results. My gums have grown back almost completly.
THANK YOU 🙌
Your gum regrow.. Seriously?
I’ll remember this for my bottom gums. I had my top gun tissue replaced at the tune of $3500 and lots of pain.
Wish I had seen this before spending 2k on gum flap surgery for just upper. So glad that i didnt let him do the bottom.
My teeth have improved significantly. Using the Xylitol has been a gum saver!!
Where did you buy the Xylitol from?
@@stoaca Amazon. Zellies.com. Lots of choices. The blogs at Zellies.com help you to use it effectively.
What about in the U.K?
Just waiting for my Ultradex to arrive but have got started with the rest. My teeth already feel so smooth from the Xylitol! I'm so glad i found your Complete Mouthcare Method. Thank you so much for all your help ❤️ love from England ❤️
Your videos are helping me so much and I'm following your protocol. I had nearly perfect teeth but I started being more aggressive with my flossing, started my day with an entire lemon squeezed into warm water, and I started using one of those drugstore sleep guards. Well - those 3 things caused my gums to recede and for pockets between my teeth to form. I was also a compulsive tooth brusher and water sipper. I am seeing improvements in my gums and I have you to thank. :-)
Water sipping is ok, it's actually good for your mouth; it's sipping sugary or acidic drinks.
What’s wrong with retainers or mouthguards?
@@gigilaroux762 I don't know about the ones that you get at the dentist. I cheaped out and got one of the ones from the drugstore that you mold at home with hot water and it really hurt my gums.
Lemon and water causes gum recession?
Hard to watch the video,to jumpy but love what your advice is doing to my teeth and gums. Over one yr now and can see my gums are so much better 👍🙌🏻
Yes the editor as ADHD LOL
The camera jumping / editing is crazy-making and SO Unnecessary :-( Absolutely a total distraction.
Your advice/knowledge is amazing, it dose take some getting used to the new tooth care routine but the results are outstanding.
It's worth taking time to massage the gums and brushing. I'm so glad I'm doing it ,it's helping alot .
Dr. Ellie,I have a two-part question for my wife and I. We have been using your mouth healthcare system a little over six months with all the products that you have recommended, including the toothbrush.
1. How do you remove black staining from teeth that I was told is caused by mouthwash?
2. My wife suffers with TMJ and she has to wear a night guard so that she does not grind her teeth in the middle of the night. She does have some gum recession.
If it is possible, will you be able to make a video on UA-cam on how to properly massage your gums?
Thank you.
Dr Elli ..thank you very much for all your Special advices ❤🎩
I’m almost 57, use a soft toothbrush, always have. I never wear out a toothbrush, I have to mark on the calendar when to buy a new one or it’ll be a year!…I take good care of my mouth, no disease, no swollen gums, no calculus build up and still have gum recession. It started when I was in my teens after having braces. It’s not age related or anything else, I just have delicate tissues. 😞
I'm the same, I'm 44, my gum recession started after braces in my late teens, it gets worse every checkup, I haven't any cavities or had any other dental work, I use a soft toothbrush and I've got super straight perfect teeth. People often comment how good my teeth and smile look, I'm so worried about eventually losing them 😢
Thank you, Dr. Ellie Phillips! You are an angel from heaven! Your valuable information helps me a lot!
When every message says there is no cure for gum recession, I get hope from you. In fact, I am a strict teeth cleaner and I have used a soft toothbrush, an electric toothbrush, for thirty years. I basically brush my teeth after every meal, three times a day! I hardly eat snacks. I used a thread to clean my teeth every night before going to bed. However, I noticed that my gums were receding and the gaps between my teeth were increasing. There was nothing I could do about it until I saw your UA-cam 6 months ago!
From your video, I found that I only brushed teeth, but not gum early. Now I had brushed gum and teeth for six months with hard teeth brush. I see my gum is growing back! I am not bleeding in once! Thanks! Angel Dr. Ellie!
Second information I got from video, after brushing teeth, I will not drink water or eating food in one or two hours. I will wait the gum and teeth protection has grew back.
Third, after eating acid food, such as orange, don't brush teeth. Nowadays, I use Xlytol after luch, intead brushing teeth immediately. I use my saliva to let my gum grew! Thanks!
Forth, I really don't like to go to see dentist, every time in teeth cleaning, my gum was bleeding a lot, and my teeth gap was increased. Now I really determined not to go to dentist to clean my teeth. After seeing your video, I am getting confidence! According to your complete mouth cleaning system, I started to use Listerine Teeth and Gum after brushing teeth. Early, I did have a attitude against all chemials.However, if it saves my gum and teeth, why not use it?
I live in Finland, I still have problem to get all the product you suggested in your complete mouth cleaning system. However, I see my gum is grewing back! Thanks indeed!
Comfrey, vitamin C, wood ear mushrooms, no fluoride (I use Boka toothpaste - hydroxyapatite)
chew on cloves throughout the day, and use turmeric mouthrinse (just put powder in)
Is it the gloves that can be purchased in the supermarket or market?
@@angellajarrett-clarke2566 It is. Be sure to get whole cloves, but they are tangy!
uncomfortable using fluoride; if this worked for you I may consider trying it.
@@karmelabun1999 - well I don't necessary want to recommend for others, but if you go this route, which some of us do, you definitely don't want to do sugar, which isn't good for us anyways. Even too much fruit isn't good - I keep it minimal. Collards and lentils, and beans, and sometimes internal hydroxyapatite supplements - but taking mg also to prevent cramping. If you start developing a cavity, it will fill back in as long as you are healthy and get your exercise, nutrients, and sleep, but you have to stop the reason it's starting in the first place. Often, a big part is low calcium - just as big of a part of the cause as sugar intake. People who are regular oatmeal eaters (daily) have issues with calcium and cavities. and ensure to brush regularly, oc, and floss too.
Thank you so much, Dr. Ellie~ I have receding gums and so appreciate all your help....going to your website and starting your program. You are such a gem...again, thank you!
Any update?
As you know, I have started your complete mouthcare system. My gum recession is quite severe. If my gums grow back, I will be *very* happy. My hygienist says that this is impossible, though.
Take photos every week or month. And if you take them close enough that your face doesn't show (so you're anonymous), then you could share them with Dr. Ellie who could (if willing) post them as Before & After photos. I think having such photos would really help persuade more people! Best wishes to you.
@GregoryTheGr... don't listen to fools. Give the system at least 6 months (that's how long it took my gums to see improvment I am 58).
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 I am 56, and I developed periodontal disease from out of the blue 25 years ago. If Dr Ellie's mouthcare system works as advertised, then I needed it back then. I now have much damage. It makes me sick to see my dental X-rays. I do expect to need 6 months to see the results.
I totally believe that almost anything can be reversed & healed in & by the body. It was designed to heal itself. Thank you for explaining it so well.
Can I ask if there's an alternative to Xylitol? It has a very bad reputation in some areas. I wouldn't like to use it at all.
There should be something that has the similar benefit for teeth.
Thank you & blessings on your way ✨
Sounds like good advice! Would be ideal to have some visual illustrations to accompany your explanations as many folks learn visually. I’ll try out this advice.
I am following your program, and my teeth and gums are improving. I stopped flossing as well. Your program is amazing.
I don't know if this is related, but I don't seem to getting sick anymore and I do a lot of global travel.
Thank you Dr Ellis, you saved my teeth. And my speech has improved 😮 I used to spit 😢when speaking this was so embarrassing😔but that is a thing of the past my speech is nice and crisp😀
Very thankful for this video, my dentist has told me that gums don’t come back from receding. I’ll be getting a new dentist.
I think Ellie saying makes sense,
Been on this system for about 3 months now along with xylitol after meals and drinks. I Would definitely say sensitivity issues have gone away with cold and sometimes hot beverages/food. I was getting sore gums in my rear teeth mostly on top and that has gone away completely. I didn’t take photos, but there is some progression to gum recession reversal! I was constantly annoyed by the dentist telling me that I brushed too hard and telling me I had receding gums. Wish I found out about this earlier! Highly recommend and will definetely chime in here on this channel on how things are going down the road!
Which system please?

I started the CMCS last year and some of my gums are growing back. In addition, adding vitamin K-2, which transports calcium from the blood into the teeth, is vital. It is available on the web. Mk-4. Aspirin stimulates the dentin stem cells.
Ce inseamna CMCS ? Multumesc pentru raspuns .
@@liberingandire590 CMCS = Complete Mouth Care System
This is Dr. Ellie’s Complete Mouth Care System. Look for it here on UA-cam
How did you figure out that aspirin stimulates dentin stem cells? How do you do this process? We are trying to improve/save my sons teeth from under the gum line and bone decay from a root canal to the outer sections with gum recession, gumline and elsewhere cavities. It's been a very slow process. Have slowed it at least following Dr. Ellie's program for last 5 months. Do you think what you do would help save my son's teeth? I'd love to hear about your process. Thanks!
Would be great to see before and after pics.
Thanks Dr. Ellie. I've waited years to go back to the dentist for a lack of trust. I will gladly give you 3 months and your plan a try before I go to the new one!
you confirmed my theory that after decades of professional extensive orthodontia work, my night grinding was a subconscious activity where my teeth were attempting to go back into alignment.
I have found xylitol floss! My teeth are overcrowded and misaligned. Love her program ! Had my daughter try it ONCE and she went right out and bought the products!
My teeth pain was gone from the very first use.
I am using your system for two weeks now and I feel such a difference on the surface of my teeth. I think it’s working! Two questions:
1. I wear a retainer at night to prevent damage from grinding my teeth at night. I’ve been waiting 15 minutes after doing your system before putting it in for the night. I want to regrow my gums, improve my recession. Do you recommend I not wear my retainer? Or, should I keep doing what I’m doing.
2. I’m 69 years old. Can I really regrow my gums by consistently following your system? If you say yes, I will be sooo excited.
What say you? Your system makes so much sense. 👍
@leslieclaouson why don't you try for 6 months and see for yourself 🙂
Your videos about dental problems is very informative and practical. Thanks for guiding people. Please add pictures to show what you are talking about. Thanks once again.
I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks
i followed your method and it's only been 2 weeks but i've already seen improvements in my gum!
What is the method can you help me
@@teresat6876have you subscribed to Dr Ellie's UA-cam channel? If you have, you can search through her video (s) for her complete mouth care system video. It has been a game changer for me. It's reduced my pockets drastically from 5s, 4s and 3s to only one 3 the last checkup about a month ago. I've only been using her system since February 2024.
Dr Ellie - wow! My gum recession started to resolve after two weeks! Amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!
I am 46 yrs old and unknowingly harmed my teeth by getting braces and using an electric toothbrush (receding gums and inflammation). Trying to undo the damage. I’m religious about using xylitol now after eating/drinking. I don’t sip on drinks in between meals anymore. I use a stimulator to floss instead of traditional floss. I use a childs toothbrush. I see small improvements but i suppose it takes a great deal of time to heal the damage.
So it’s been nearly a week of doing the system and I noticed immediately that my teeth seem cleaner. They are smooth and slick which is new for me. I still have some gum irritation and of course the recession, but I know that will take some time.
Dr. Ellie. What are your thoughts on braces? Can you make a detailed video on straightening the teeth and why so many kids are recommended to get braces. Are they a good option for overbites?
Reading the comment.
Now i know what cause my rececceding gums.
Braces in my early twenties.
I'm in my 20's had braces at 19 and removed at 24, now im 26. I don't know whether I'll be going to have gum recession or not after few years, don't know if it has started already. I got cavity in my wisdom tooth and thinking about following her system, though except for listering other products are not available in India. Trying to find products to match hers. I wanted to know if braces result in cavities and stumbled upon these videos on gum recession and bone loss after braces. And I'm like wth. The first dentist had already extracted 2 upper and 2 lower teeth and after changing dentist I was told it was not required to extract 2 lower ones. Can't believeit, it must be mandatory for docs to be updated. Saw some conventional treatments as well like LANAP laser treatment to regrow bone lost to gum disease around tooth. Red light laser pointer treatment (unconventional). Thank god I found Orthotropics channel very early on it helped me understand the importance of a big jaw and consequences of eating soft food. It did improve the shape of my face and size as well.
I used Chlorhexidine but it did not do much. I then opted for a more natural approach. Starting with the Xylitol.
I have been told by my dentist that I either grind or clench my teeth when I sleep. I believe that I possibly clench them but I’m not sure. I wear a retainer at night because about 15 or 16 years ago, my then dentist finally convinced me to get a night guard at his office. It cost me approximately $350. I should mention that my teeth were beyond beautiful at that time. I only had a couple of areas on my upper teeth where I had mistakenly brushed when I was a teen with a tooth brush that had hard bristles without knowing that this could hurt my gums and had therefore two spots near my canines that had a bit of gum recession. My teeth were perfectly aligned, white and very healthy. Dentists would tell me what pretty teeth I had. Being in the military we moved often so I u fortunately ended up seeing this dentist who convinced me to get a night guard from him. The strange thing is that he made this guard that pushed my bottom jaw out and it forced me to basically sleep with my lower jaw protruding and in order to swallow my tounge would push my upper teeth forward. I hope that you know what I’m talking about because it resembled a torture device. I followed his instructions and wore this thing for 8 months. When I returned for a cleaning 6 months later I began to notice that my teeth were no longer aligning properly. So at the cleaning he filed some of the bottom of my teeth so that they would not hit the tops and bottoms of each other when I closed my mouth or chewed something. This happened a couple of times I went to see him because the teeth kept hitting each other as my tounge kept moving my upper front teeth as I wore this strange retainer that had metal that held the upper and lower teeth in the strange position. So he then told me that he could put braces on me to put my teeth back in place as I was basically developing an open mouth. I thought that he out this apparatus that created an open bite in my mouth by having my tounge push the upper teeth out while I slept and swallowed. Now he wanted to charge me for braces to correct the problem. So I got another dentist after I spoke to an attorney while I considered suing him for what he had done. So I went to the dentist this attorney told me (over the phone) as I never met him in person. He said that this dentist was an ethical dentist. I saw him and he told me that he believed that it would be hard to prove and he recommended that I go to this very expensive orthodontist. I saw the expensive orthodontist and he recommended that I get these “sure smile” I believe they were braces. These were the metal braces that worked with a computer. I asked him why such drastic braces if the damage was done over the 8 months that I wore that strange night guard. I asked if Invisalign wouldn’t be better. He insisted that I go with the Sure smile ones I believed they were called. The difference in price was 7K for the Invisalign and 10K for the metal braces which is why no doubt he insisted that they be the metal ones. He wanted to remove molars and I said No so he didn’t. He just moved my teeth like crazy to correct the problem of the open bite. I wore the braces for about a year and a half as I recall. My teeth felt like rubber teeth when he removed the braces. My teeth prior to this were tight so tight that I had a hard time flossing ny teeth without tearing dental floss before. So since then I have worn the retainers every night for the last 14 years. The dentist that recommended I go to this orthodontist left his practice (retired I think) and a younger dentist took over. I like this new dentist who is extremely professional and I have grown to trust him. Unfortunately over the last 5 years or so that he has been my new dentist my gums have been receding even though I have done everything he has recommended. Since the retainers came off my teeth were brought down so food would get cought at the top of them so I always flossed and I always carried the de tal picks to remove any food particle that would get there. I used to use a water pick, I used baking soda, used the listerine mouthwash with fluoride, applied the Sensodine toothpaste to my gums under the retainer at night to help with the sensitivity that I grow get. I used to use an electric toothbrush but it hurt too much so I would use the very soft Colgate toothbrushes. Recently, maybe two months ago I found an electric toothbrush called Burst that is for people with sensitive gums. I found that I was still accumulating more tartar but with this last new electric toothbrush it had improved. At my two lower molars the dentist noticed substantial receding gums and that I had a pocket. There was some bleeding noticed which really surprised me. I began to notice that my gums had receded everywhere now. I have just discovered you in UA-cam and I am so glad. I got your two books today and I have been slowly educating myself by watching your videos. I got your gum, the xylitol sweeter, different toothpastes, probiotic lozenges and yesterday I ordered the rest of the items you recommended on Amazon. I had ordered different toothpastes the ones that are very expensive (before I knew which ones you recommended) but I was still happy with the amazing way they made my teeth feel really clean and smooth. My dentist scheduled me to see a periodontal specialist in two weeks to evaluate me by him even though he does not think that I need to have the procedure just yet. So far I have taken very good care of my teeth and even though I have gum recession basically everywhere now he thought that it would be wise to see what he recommended for the near future I supposed. To be honest I may just cancel that appointment with him but since it is just an evaluation I may keep it. But for sure I won’t agree to have the skin grafting of my gums now that I have discovered you. My dilemma is in hearing you mention in this video that wearing the retainers may make the program not work. Should I stop wearing my retainers at night? My dentist said that he can see that I clench my teeth at night. He noticed a developing fracture (superficial) in my right last lower molar and recommended that I get a crown to prevent it from fracturing all the way since that would require a root canal or implant. I am already implementing what you recommend. I am hoping that my gums will improve as I follow your plan. Please let me know what I can do regarding the dilemma of wearing the retainer at night. Don’t have malocclusion in other words I have proper teeth alignment. I fear that my teeth might move even though they are not moving they are firm. My gums don’t look inflamed or bleed they are just going down more and more which make me think that they are becoming separated from my teeth more and more. Please let me know what you recommend. This is very depressing. I am now 60 and like you my mother who had 6 kids had all of her teeth removed by her dentist due to ignorance. Back then or at least in my mothers case they were told that a woman would loose a tooth with every pregnancy. My father no doubt encouraged this. But he never lost a tooth. My mother had a beautiful smile. As she aged my father had the rest of her teeth removed which made no sense. He did have all of his kids get proper dental care from early childhood. Please respond to me with your recommendations when you have a chance. We are all blessed to have found you! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us all!
I have all of my teeth.
Thank you Dr Ellie, you have been so helpful! I have been following your system for about 6 months and my teeth feel much better. I was hopeful my gums recession would reverse but after hearing your testimony I realize this won’t happen, it’s been too many years. However I think like you my teeth are okay and the gums are tight around the line they are at. Thank you again!
What is mean system, i wil try because my gums are worst
This is SO timely! Mine are getting bad - I just started your program last week and PRAY these steps will actually work. I wasn't using flouride much and no mouth rinses due to being told they wipe out good bacteria. Plus for 4 months basically quit all sugar & carbs (leakygut) & looks like candida is happening too. Thank you!
Please send an update. Remember that details - and the right toothbrushes are essential. You may like to visit my Oral health Video Bootcamp for details about how to do the gum massage etc. DrEllie.com.
If you're suggesting that you might be suffering from IBS from the leaky gut, then be very careful and maybe even omit the xylitol. I have IBS and it went into overdrive from the xylitol gum/mints/rinses/toothpaste. Xylitol has a laxative effect.
I started her program about 3 months ago and have had gum recession in the front lower part of my mouth. I will say that my mouth has felt extremely clean. I have noticed that plaque just doesn't build up, especially where i have a permanent retainer on the bottom,that will usually get plaque at some point after my cleanings, and it has had nothing since starting Dr Ellie's program.
I have used her routine for about 2 months along with xylitol swished for 5 minutes then spit out. I have a tooth that the filling fell out of and it has almost completely remineralized. It was not just a small whole where the filling had been.
@@dr.elliephillips Yes thank you, I will check out the massage, I do think circulation is important. I will definitely return with updates on my recession and other issues. I always tend to push on my brush too hard & also used electric toothbrush for years till I saw a video of you suggesting manual.
Will stick with this!
17:20 the goal of orthodontic treatment is to get teeth aligned in the proper arch form. If you’re experiencing “recession from Invisalign” it’s possible either you’re doing online braces and not getting monitored properly by an orthodontist, or the specialist isn’t great. But this doesn’t mean “don’t get your teeth straightened”
I’ve worked with patients with severe crowding and gum disease because they couldn’t properly clean the crowded teeth, and yes after straightening the teeth they developed recession in certain areas, but not because of Invisalign; rather because the Invisalign exposed hidden problems that we were then able to address. Please take everything you hear with a grain of salt.
Do you know that if people complain to invisalign about recession or mobility issues - they often settle out of court and get their money back, but with an agreement they will not share their negative experiences?
This means we do not hear about the bad cases.
As an RDH have you noticed recession associated with retainers personally?
I had no idea until last year when I began to ask more questions about recession and discovered this was more prevalent than could be random.
@@dr.elliephillips I don't know, Dr. Ellie, I personally have been wearing retainers for years now and I haven't noticed any recession. Any recession I see on patients is clearly associated with either poor alignment (haven't had braces), bad oral hygiene (plaque building up at sites of recession, clenching and grinding, or things like attached frenum and/or thin tissue type, as well as fenestration of canines. What is it about retainers that you think would logically cause recession? the plastic material? In that case, there are microplastics in a lot of toothpastes, so we could blame toothpaste..
You are telling people to stop brushing teeth (brush gums instead), stop flossing, stop getting cleanings, but I feel it's misleading; even if your system works, a lot of people have a very bad oral health situation to begin with and need to get on track with a good dental cleaning first. You mention in passing that "if you have some serious problems, maybe get a dental cleaning, but then avoid cleanings in the future and use my complete system instead" I think at least that needs to be made very clear that people can't just jump in to your recommended routine...
I don't have dental issues but I will probably try your system to have my own proof, but so far I feel like your recommendations are misleading at best. The problem also with a lot of the positive testimonies is the general public doesn't always understand what a "healthy mouth" looks like. periodontal disease, as you know, is a silent process, and if people see "cleaner teeth" on the surface or their tooth pain has subsided using your system, that is not necessarily an indication of optimal oral health. I'd love to see a thorough case study video following one patient's journey with your system, or even some photos and x-rays of your own teeth.
I don't mean to be rude, I'm all for helping people avoid dental costs and oral health problems, but all your teaching is seriously going against everything I know to be true, so please understand my skepticism. Millions of people are watching your information and I want to make sure it's not harmful. Thanks for replying.

@@dr.elliephillips I understand that a lot of people have dental issues, but also, a lot of people don’t take care of their teeth properly. Most don’t brush correctly and even more don’t even bother to floss. Diet and lifestyle are also a mess. I personally don’t have any dental issues, not following your system. I’ve had bad teeth in the past, so it’s not like I’m genetically lucky, I just take good care of my teeth using traditional methods (brushing and flossing properly, consistently) and maintain good diet and lifestyle choices. I’m willing to try your system and see if I could truly avoid flossing and brushing my actual teeth and see it benefit oral health, but until then, I can’t recommend your teaching. Do you have any third party dentists/hygienists seeing benefits of your system on their patients or even their own teeth?
@@dr.elliephillips I’ve had a lot of work done on my teeth for many years. I have been told I have gum recession and bone loss. I went to a well established Orthodontic clinic also specialised in Invisalign, to have my teeth straightened for which I was quoted over $8000 because that is the only way the clinic would receive the max amount my insurance would pay them. You mentioned the settlement at court and it reminded me that the clinic required me to sign agreement to not hold the clinic in any way responsible for the results of the treatment with braces. My circumstances changed and I wasn’t able to start the treatment after all. Perhaps I got lucky?
My mouth changed so much and I don’t need to go to the dentist like I was to do every 3 months. My gum is much healthier and is growing back and I taking pictures for my progress. Thank you so much for what you are doing ❤️❤️🦷🦷🪥🪥
Can you share pictures
I started her program and have had excellent results. All but the two worst are completely healed. The other two are much better and improving.
I tried this dentist's formular in 3 months the hygienist noticed an improvement in my pockets.
Dr. Ellis, your videos and information are very helpful to so many. We may need to watch several videos and read comments for specific answers to questions but it's nice that the answers can be found on your channel. Please keep sharing your knowledge ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the encouragement - sometimes it is hard to know if all this work and teaching is reaching people.
I appreciate your comment very much. Thanks again. Ellie
@@dr.elliephillips Yes it's reaching us! I have gotten 5 of my friends on the program. But I have one stubborn friend who can't get past the mainstream products - the animal testing, the dubious ingredients, etc. She'll only buy very expensive products from the health food store. Which aren't working for her very bad receding gums and crumbling teeth. I even bought her her own kit with everything she needs, just to TRY it. No go. I myself, am ecstatic with the results.
I soo needed this video at the right time
My gums got to the stage where they were pouring with blood, like a nose bleed when brushing my teeth. They also receded quite a bit.
Two months ago I decided to change from my electric toothbrush, to a Extra Soft Criss Cross Bristle toothbrush...and wow, the bleeding is virtually non existent, when I use mouth wash after brushing there's no particles....the need for flossing has decreased. My gums are now regrowing, which I found strange, because I read they couldn't regrow.
So I brush 2 or 3 times a day, and Mouthwash morning and night.
I also rinse my mouth with plain clear water after certain food and drinks.
Seems to have worked for me 🤷♀️
....but I'll definitely give these systems a go too.
Thank you so much! You are giving me answers where none of my dentists could.
Pleasantly surprised xylitol is safe while pregnant! So excited to try your method. Thank you Dr Ellie!
Many, many of the studies in the 1970s were with pregnant women.
Yes, xylitol is a pre-biotic and helps improve the microbiome of the mouth and gut.
Studies in 2022 in Malawi showed that xylitol consumed during pregnancy could lower risk for preterm birth.
Thank you! I really appreciate your videos and sharing your knowledge.
"ask" your dentist if you can try something else? The dentist works for me. He/she better better be asking my permission if I want his/her treatment. If the dentist ever even hints like he/she thinks they're in charge, they are effing fired.
Good for you! So many people just accept whatever any doctor or dentist as gospel, taking any treatment or drug they prescribe mindlessly. We are trained to do that.
I'm glad you brought it up. I'm sending my dentist a note to let them know exactly what I want next visit...and it's not a 'standard' cleaning.

No offense but this is crazy logic considering YOU are going to THEM for HELP. They aren't knocking on your door asking you to come in.....
Agree. This person will never find a dentist with this attitude
No..in some contries are working either- standards (minimizing risks)
- as much as possible work on any single tooth.
Depending what is their financial goal
Finally I understand I will never grt rid of sensitivity.
I thought I was doing something terrible wrong and I was about to schedule a dentist appointment
In my country I don't find Crest nor Act but I'm using the other products and xylitol
Still my sensitivity maintains although some weeks are worse than others - the week prior to having my period is horrible, I can barely brush my teeth due to the amount of pain.
If you are using Listerine without using Crest (or an equivalent sodium flouride toothpaste) and Act (or an equivalent sodium flouride rinse) the Listerine will worsen your sensitivity. If you brush after Listerine you will erode your teeth. You can buy the products online and import them to your country.
Oh tell us!!!!
I have been using Xylitol chewing gums for about 3 months now. My bleeding gums have stopped bleeding and are looking healthier. My plaques are also degenerating into bits and am getting rid of them.
I recently tried this, but I think I purchased an inferior brand of Xylitol. Some people said you can use Xylitol as a sweetener, so I used it in my oatmeal and tea one day. That night I had severe diarrhea. This is the xylitol that made me ill: microingredients Xylitol Granules From Natural Birch. I am not usually sensitive to different foods. I don't have allergies. So, I was surprised when I got ill from what seemed like a natural food. I wasn't sure if it was the Xylitol that made me ill, so I waited a few days before trying a little again in my tea. That night I had some diarrhea again. When I try a different brand of Xylitol, I will first try just using it as a mouth rinse. I see the very good experiences from the comments below.
I have been using your system for a about 6 months and I an definitely tell it works. If I have no calculus to clean off at my next cleaning I am going to stop going and having that done. I do have some gum recession and it has stopped but it doewsn;t grow upwards and repair that I can tell. Is wearing a night-guard the reason? I need to wear one at night for grinding. Thank you Dr Ellie!
You may find now that your enamel is stronger that you can phase out the night guard and see if that helps your gums.
