I’ve used Pur gum and mints for about a month, my deep pockets are almost gone. I was supposed to go to a specialist to get a super deep cleaning and avoided their calls. Boy am I glad I came across this woman.
@@nkelmorgan40PUR gum and mints contain the xylitol which Dr. Ellie recommends-to be taken after meals and throughout the day. *Extremely* beneficial to our oral health and the prevention and reversal of cavities, gums and deep pockets, etc! 😊
@@Noname-oo9gn how do you use the diatomaceous earth clay and comfrey root powder? Taken internally, like with water? Or as a topical paste? Do you brush with them??
How many people realize that this woman's advice is helping many poor and impoverished Americans who otherwise have limited to no access to dental healthcare and/or lack sufficient health insurance to address some of their most basic dental needs (exacerbated by the general factors of poverty) in the face of the current "for profit" oral healthcare system in one of the richest countries in the world? Good work madam! Good on her! 🙂
@@evileyelash8094 Everyone should be able to enjoy perfect teeth. If we started with pregnant Moms - we could eradicate this disease. Cost $12 - if we use granular xylitol.
I really wish I had found you sooner. Even though I was brushing and flossing daily, I had receding gums and cavities at every dental cleaning. I estimate that the number of cavities I've received over the years is in the dozens and I am only 33. The dentist wanted to have me come in for "deep cleanings" $400 a time, 4x a year. I also need 2-3 crowns. Of course none of this is covered by my insurance. I frankly could not afford this extra work. I discovered the Complete Mouth Care System back in January and decided to give it a try - Holy smokes, my mouth has never been healthier; My gums have healed and are now healthy pink. They almost look fake! I used to feel a low-grade burning beneath the surface and that is now gone! My teeth are whiter/brighter and no longer sensitive. Thank you so much for empowering people to take their dental health out of the hands of greedy dentists!
@@dr.elliephillips I definitely had real peridontal gum disease when I realized from reading your videos the 6, 7s and 8s they were yelling out at cleanings, 2 years ago I got a real good deep cleaning with local anesthia , a year half later I got the worse almost infection like sensitivity on one of my back molars where I could not bite hard on that molar without feeling pain or feeling like it may be lose if I did and bit my usual cold hard dark Dove chocolates on other side of mouth so I knew something was up with that molar and gum recession as I could tell it was receding myself, well I finally went to the dentist and they took X rays and gave me a regular not deep clean and referred me to a preidontist , and said well you have badly receding upper gum back molars from the X rays , I cancelled my peridontal appt as I knew it was one of those corporate for profit chains that would obviously say deep clean , then laser treatment on gums to heal faster after a deep clean first etc ( just a money maker for them only iMHO and not necessary ) and even worst gum sugery recommendation was my expectation they would make up to again make more money off you for unnecessary work IMHO of course I decided no - thats when I bumped into your videos, so I am now on Xylitol mints, Cioysis , Act , Original Listerine , gum massage vs just brushing, and had used perio care 1.7% hydorgen peroxide with self molded gum trays to work those molars, never had a cavity in my life but never brushing right , not flossing and water flossing and not knowing about PH gave me these deep pockets and not having dental care until I was essentially 25 years old and the first dental cleaning I went to the dentist looked horrified and took several cleaning to me on track. but not knowing how to brush massage gums and PH for the next 40 year left me with these deep pockets , I can bite and eat cold dark dove chocolates again , and my gums are all pale pink and when I water floss there is no sensitivity anymore , I only plan on seeing my dentist once a year since my HMO Medicare dental coverage is bad , so I now after reading your article I want to add the probiotics - ie is Garden of Life, RAW Probiotics, Colon Care, 30 Vegetarian Capsules -is that the probiotics you were referring to ( what ingredients in the probiotics is the key vs just the brand or is Garden of Life just one of the many as long as its a digestive colon Probiotics ?) ???? for added PH oral fight to make sure my deep pockets keep getting better so I can avoid both deep cleaning and the peridontists specialist that will I am sure recommended un-neeeded services for their for profit corporate practice of medicine money greed offices that will force their staff to do un-necessary services as they always will do IMHO OK I just figured out the right probiotic to take ie Lactobacillus Reuteri Probiotic Supplements - to target specifically the gum issues only vs all other digestive issues since the Garden of LIfe covers a whole range of digestive and colon issues that I dont need or want to spend extra for
God Bless this woman and her knowledge. I recently had a dentist check up and I had gum/bone loss. My teeth are still intact and fine but if I don't change anything I could risk losing my teeth in the later years. I've had gum recession for years. I just came across this page and I just ordered my xylitol mints and mouthcare system! Thank you so much Dr. Ellie. I look forward to giving a testimony sometime in the later months.
After having massive dental plague and cavities all my life i'm totally free of plague now since i started eating fermented food daily. Especially homegrown Kefir.
I grew up in the Appalachian mountains. I had never heard of a toothbrush, toothpaste,or mouthwash. Until I got to Middle School 6th gradei was 11 years old .the first time I stayed the night away from the farm with a friend from school.. before we went to bed his mom came in the bedroom and asked her son if he had brushed his teeth he told her no. She asked me if I brought my toothbrush with me I replied why would you use a brush on your teeth... At the time my life experience I had only seen a brush used to comb hair, and to brush down are work horses after we would work them in the fields to get rid of ticks fleas and fly larvae. Mom and dad had perfect white teeth just like me dad chewed Redman tobacco a pouch a day mom smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.. they never had any issues with any of their teeth. I truly believed the reason for that. We did not have running water or electricity. We got our water from a mountain spring. We raise or hunted the meat that we ate and we grew the vegetables that we consumed. We bartered or sold pork and beef, corn, beans, potatoes, apples, and cherries, once a month dad would travel an hour and a half to go into the town in either barter or buy the basic needs that you cannot provide off the land toilet paper, sugar, salt, pepper, coffee, tea bags but once I started going to the public schools drinking City water eating school lunches I started getting cavities... And when I left home and moved to the big city to go to college... My teeth got worse from all the sugar and all the toxic chemicals that they put in are drink's in are tap water and the food either from fast food restaurants or your local grocery store..
Sorry to Say but! That IS a pretty judgmental statement. SO You are Saying that besides where you grew up , all City food & water is Toxic & bad for you ? Seriously! You are a Extremely Close minded person
In my personal opinion Dr Phillips is best dentist !! I've encountered before in my entire life time of 60 years old!!! I trust this woman....Goodluck be too all!! 👍🙂💙🙏🏼
PS Too all commenters who read this statement.Do you notice..Lady has regal air about her!! And gives hope and advice too some with possible financial problems!!!! This is indeed beautifully righteous!!!!
I have been using Dr. Ellie 's program for 5 months and I am noticing my teeth and gums are more healthy, less pain to no pain at all. Thank you Dr.Ellie!
Dr Ellie, just wanted to shoot you a thank you. I'm 42 and have not taken the best care of my teeth over the years. I started your program last December, and was definitely not 100% adherent but did my best to do the full system and regularly use xylitol mints (I've done the full thing most days, and consistently used dental mints perhaps 60% of that time). Even with the imperfect use, my teeth have far less plaque, it accumulates far more slowly and possibly not at all when regularly using the xylitol mints, and several gum pockets have improved. Including one in my lower gums in the front that I thought was potentially deep enough to require a periodontist. I simply looked at it in early summer and noticed that it had recovered from recessed below the tooth line to almost its original position. To listen to many dentists I would have thought that level of regrowth and recovery wasn't possible, but here I am. To anyone considering her program: I can't say for sure it will work for you but it's worth a shot for a few months.
Just a really stupid thing to say, you are probably projecting your own Schottman ethics onto a perfectly honest person. Dentists are overwhelmed with money paying patients, they don't need to lie to a dumb kid.
@@mahnoorkhalil2462 Crest regular tooth paste cavity protection only. Listerine cool mint mouthwash only...no other brand or flavor. Act anticavity only. Use act just before bed. Brush after meals, especially if you've eaten sweets. Xylitol dry mouth lozenges anytime you can't brush. This combo sets your mouth to an optimal pH and heals receding gums. Works for me I hope it works for you too
I met a doctor who suggested I put a used tea bag in my mouth on the inflamed gum to eliminate the swelling, and it worked! I kept swishing my mouth with a tonic of goldenseal liguid and spring water and went on a raw food diet to deter bacterial infection and improve my gut health.
Raw food is a good way to make yourself sicker with bacteria and difficulty extracting the nutrients due to weak digestion. Sick people need cooked food.
@@vanessac1965 But with eating raw foods (plant based, not raw meat!), you actually heal your digestive system and get able to actually digest foods. Nothing is stopping you from taking supplements in the meantime.
Thank you so much for all your dental "know-how" and your Mouth-Care system. I implemented it last December and what a game changer for my mouth!! Back to the dentist this past May and NO DEEP CLEANING this time - woot! woot! Your system takes a bit of time and effort but it is so, so worth it!!!!
I've spent hundreds of hours over ten years being worked on at Tufts U School of Dental Medicine, listening to the best professors as they train their med students in dozens of various procedures. Dr Phillips is one of the better communicators I have heard on dental issues and is as good as the best teachers in the field. Very complete, very clear, very precise. That said I would question that once you have been diagnosed with plaque bearing pockets, that any self-cure could substitute for physical removal of those plaque or calculus structures.
@@TerrenLiberteyes she did...the Eucalyptol and Thymol etc. Destroy the outer shell of the freshly formed plaque and the older plaque aka tartar/ calculus has a softer shell which will dissolve it. It happen to me in the first week after 3-5 days my tartar at my lower inner front teeth were dissolved and I brushed it away.
I walked out of the dentist office this morning. I just had a deep cleaning four months ago! They wanted to do another deep cleaning today! They gave me a referral to a periodontal specialist.
Get on my system of care and look after your own teeth....then you won't need one! DrEllie.com for info, how to do gum massage and how to improve your gums.
So I currently have a healing sore on my gum as you posted on this video. It looks just like that sore in the featured pic for this video. My last dentist appt was August 8th 2024 and that’s when I was told I had pockets measured at #12 on my lower left. I received a deep cleaning on my upper right side only that same day. I then scheduled another appointment for my lower bottom deep cleaning. I never went for the bottom deep cleaning. It seems after they poked around my gums, it inflamed my pocket more and irritated my guns, which was not happening before. I started getting a massive pain on my lower left and a sore developed. I was about to schedule an appointment just to address that issue. Then I saw your complete care video. I bought everything. It’s literally been one week since I started your complete mouth care system. Brushing with the tooth brush you recommended in circles massaging was painful on the sore in the beginning. But I kept doing it and rinsing with the three mouth wash you recommended. You won’t believe how the pain is gone, the little bump was full of puss, it’s been coming out slowly since I started. The sore/bump has shrunk almost completely now. My gums are healing at a good rate. I can literally feel the difference within one week. I can just imagine how much the healing process will have advanced within the next 3 months. I am so excited for the results I have experienced so far. Such a substantial change is going on with me right now. I will follow up with you after my next dental appointment. Thank you from my ❤. It’s a blessing to have you giving this information to us. Thanks 🙏🏽
My husband is a 30 year patient of a dentist who's done pocket cleaning, root canals, implants on him. He's a lifelong patient it seems, with never-ending issues. Wish we'd seen your videos sooner. Oral health issues affect ones greater health issues. It's worrying.
Thoughts on chewing mastic gum? I added this to Dr. Ellie's mouth care (which was working great), but this kicked it up a notch and my digestive issues disappeared.
You and your videos have really been miraculous in my life. I've been following your method now for awhile and my gums are healing and my pockets are much smaller. I was being way too aggressive with flossing and cleaning before. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you! I replaced sugar with Xylitol a while ago but have just started brushing my teeth with it, mixed with toothpaste, twice a day. I'm not sure if that's the most effective approach but it's a start.
Dr. Ellie Phillips Can you please do a video on Xylitol in regards to Heart health and strokes.... I've started your Xylitol, but i have recently seen so many videos online about the possibility of Xylitol causing heart attacks and strokes.... Please provide me with some information debunking these claims from other people
@johnnylawrence7232 that study was based on consuming 30g of Xylitol daily. I bought xylitol crystals and take a small amount and swish it around after meals and spit it out afterwards, ie don't swallow it. The mints and xylitol gum should be safe so long as you didn't eat too many in a day. But it's something to be mindful of and I admit it's made me careful not to ingest too much.
@@johnnylawrence7232 check out the Truth about xylitol page at Zellie’s.com. This was a very odd study- paid by private equity- observational - no controls and on 10 really sick people. Look at Zellies.com site for my reply.
@@joshswartley906 I feel that "media science" reporting is leading many people down a challenged pathway. We need scientists like Layne Norton - he does a really good job of dissecting studies and explaining them in detail.

I have had my share of dental work done during my lifetime. Braces as a kid, oral surgery to have 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted on 1 visit, cleanings, some fillings, and 4 crowns (but no root canals) for teeth that broke. I have repeatedly been told I have good oral hygiene and "beautiful teeth," yet I was both surprised and dismayed to recently learn I have some deep pockets (including some bone loss) around the back molars. 😲 How I got to this point is confusing to me. Oddly enough, I've never had pre-periodontitis symptoms like gingivitis, no bleeding or receding gums. Occasionally I have had some mild sensitivity to cold in the front teeth (where the gums are "normal") but it has never been chronic. Before discovering Dr. Ellie and her Complete Mouth Care System, I had a deep cleaning (upper and lower) on the right side in early July to address these deep pockets. Again, I am no wimp when it comes to pain or dental work but let me just say the deep cleaning was BRUTAL. Not only was the actual procedure awful to the point I had a death grip on the arms of the dental chair for 1 1/2 hours, that side of my mouth has NOT been happy (or normal feeling) since. My cheek and gums were sore for days after the hygienist stabbed me 4 or 5 times with a needle to make the area numb before the cleaning. (She definitely needs to improve her injection skills!) About a week after the deep cleaning, I developed an abscess so the periodontist put me on an antibiotic for a week. I have constantly felt like I have food stuck between my teeth (even when I don't), but the weirdest thing is my bite often feels "off" on that side. During that week I was on the antibiotic for the abscess, I stumbled upon Dr. Ellie's YT channel, binge-watched the majority of her videos, and started her protocol immediately. I've been on it 5 1/2 weeks now, religiously using it 2 x day in conjunction with xylitol and, finally, the side of my mouth that had the deep cleaning is starting to feel more normal. The periodontist, the hygienist and even the front office receptionist were all pushing HARD for me to have the deep cleaning done on the other side of my mouth ASAP, like it was some kind of major emergency, but I cancelled the appointment and I am undecided if I will ever reschedule it. I want to try a solid 3 to 6 months on Dr. Ellie's system before I make a final decision but I'm leaning toward kissing the periodontist and his hygienist goodbye forever! Also, prior to the deep cleaning, I occasionally had a sharp pain in one back tooth when I chewed. One dentist said I had a crack down into the root and the tooth needed to be pulled and a bridge made ($5,000.00). Three other dentists I subsequently consulted for their opinions did NOT see a crack but essentially shrugged their shoulders and said they had no explanation for the pain. I scheduled an appointment with a highly regarded endodontist in an adjacent city to see if the tooth needed a root canal but I decided to give Dr. Ellie's system some time so I cancelled the appointment. Since starting Dr. Ellie's Complete Mouth Care System and regular xylitol, the tooth seems much improved and although I haven't been brave enough to try chewing anything hard on that side yet, I can chew soft things so I'm optimistic the problem (whatever it is) is resolving on Dr. Ellie's system.
@@Tyla473 Thanks for asking! I waited to answer your question because I had an upcoming appointment with the periodontist's office to finish the deep cleaning I started back in July. If I returned for the deep cleaning on the opposite side at all, I would have preferred to wait until I had been using Dr. Ellie’s Complete Mouth Care System least six months. However, I still had dental benefits left for 2024 that would pay for the cleaning now but if I waited, my dental benefits for 2025 are being drastically reduced. So, it was a case of either finish the cleaning now ... or probably never. As a reminder, I had the deep cleaning on the upper and lower right side July 9 (2024). My appointment for the upper and lower left side was yesterday, Dec. 2, which was just about 4 1/2 months after starting the CMCS on July 24 (2024). While I felt like my teeth and gums are in better shape since starting the Complete Mouth Care System, I was curious if a dental professional could see actual evidence of that. It should be noted I did not tell the hygienist I have been using xylitol the CMCS since right after my visit in July because I did not want her to be swayed one way or another. She indicated the (right) side she did the deep cleaning on in July looked really good. Probably the most significant thing she said was there was little to no bleeding of the gums while she was cleaning this time. This cleaning on the left side took slightly less time and it seemed she did not get as aggressive as she had in July when she cleaned the right side. While it wasn’t what I would describe as “fun,” it certainly was not nearly as bad as the July visit. Twenty-four hours post cleaning the left side, my gums feel perfectly normal (not even a little bit sore or swollen) whereas in July, my gums on the right side felt tender for days afterwards and my bite felt “off” for many weeks. I am also not having the sensation I have food constantly stuck between my teeth this time. I don't know if there has been any improvement in the depths of the gum pockets because they were not measured at yesterday's visit. I may schedule an appointment with my regular dentist sometime in 2025 just to have him check the pockets. Or, maybe not. 😉 In summary, I am a believer in Dr. Ellie’s Complete Mouth Care System. I do think religiously using all the products she recommends 2 x per day (Closys, Crest, Listerine, ACT, Dr. Plotka’s toothbrushes) have improved my mouth health. This seems to be substantiated by the comments the hygienist made and the way my mouth feels. I will say that I do not always get the recommended 6 to 10 grams of xylitol every day because I have drastically limited my snacking and sipping liquids throughout the day (and in the process I have lost 5 pounds, which is another added benefit!). I also use xylitol every day but some days I might only get in 3 or 4 grams so I want to make an effort to be more diligent in using it more often, even if I have not had anything to eat or drink. I am committed to using Dr. Ellie’s Complete Mouth Care System (and xylitol) for the rest of my life. How is your Complete Mouth Care System journey going?
I just restocked my Xlear supply today. Expensive here in the UK but I today received my order of 6 bottles from Iherb, about 25% cheaper than UK price. With my hayfever and dust mite allergy, a good natural relief for my nasal passages is a God-send.
Take d3 with k2-mk7 to remove the calcium plaque along with the xylitol gum or xylitol rinse, that will kill the bacteria. Use this for a much faster fix.
Wow this is very interesting news to hear You give out interesting invite and how too take care of our mouth and gums so they can keep out tooth and gums healthy thank you for this important information about our health
I have been using her system, and I have noticed my gums are pinker… new dentist says i need deep cleaning before taking care of my cracked tooth… it rubbed me the wrong way. Unless I am missing something. But, I do see a difference.
Dentist and hygienists are so sure they know best that you'd almost have to go elsewhere to get away from their ingrained beliefs. Add to that a hygienist with OCD that cannot stop digging and scraping no matter what system you have been using to heal your mouth and well . . .I'm already having an anxiety attack just thinking about my upcoming appointment.
Same here! I complained for over a year about sensitivity and they sold me expensive toothpaste that never worked. They insisted it worked. Never once mentioned Xylitol…?.. Since using it regularly with Dr Ellie’s system I have zero sensitivity. I’m due for a cleaning and missed my last one and I’m so dreading it!
@@helenjackson9232 It is a natural sugar, that the human body does produce in very small amounts (I’ll let the good doctor explain that one), And it’s also derived from hardwood trees like birch trees as well as corn stocks and, I think other sources but the one thing I’ve heard most about our corn stocks and birch trees and hardwood trees
@@helenjackson9232it is a naturally occurring chemical in some foods. It is available as a product, too. So you can get xylitol chewing gum, mint, and probably more, to use during the day between brushing. You want to have xylitol after each time you eat something. It helps to bring about a different saliva to help you neutralize your mouth after you’ve been chewing foods.
Put Xylitol crystals on your Crest toothpaste/toothbrush, and brush up to 3 minutes or so on the gums, front, back and tops of your teeth. I have seen a white infection pocket on my gum. In less than 3 days, probably sooner, the white pocket infection was completely gone. Avoid deep cleanings like the plague. Use Xylitol gum up to 5 times a day also with brushing in the morning and possibly evening with Listerine instead of water for 30 second rinsing.
Take d3 with k2-mk7. it will remove the calcium plaque and put the calcium back into the bones where it belongs. You can also use the xylitol gum to kill off the bad bacteria. This will heal the gums very quickly.
Air flow cleaning that last 60 minutes costs 120 euros in Austria 😮 it's not covered by the general social security. But the amount you give is absolutely abusive...
Thank you for the video Dr. Phillips! I recently went to the dentist and periodontist and had pockets of 1-3 which they said were good however I know from your videos that no pockets are good. They did say I need extensive grafting due to thin gum tissue. My question to you is if I can build my gums back up and also close the black triangles I have?
Yep, can't afford to import it. Even the Xlear nasal spray someone mentioned here you won't get here in Thailand. would have to pay an arm and a leg for it. As for Xylitol, I will try the xylitol grains. Available here and much cheaper. Also use dried cloves and chew on them and will buy neem leaves for gum care.
@@sharfalor4244 Online it states that the recommendation for Americans is 45 - 65% of the diet. It's also stated that the body requires carbs to stay healthy and work properly. And that the secret is to choose complex carbs more so than simple carbs.
Thank you for explaining these periodontal pockets. My mother's dentist says she has them and pushes for a very expensive procedures and even takes about bone grafting those this might be something else mixed in for that. This gives both information and hope for her situation. I recently read a study that compared common mouthwash and care products and included some unusual and natural alternatives. One of the things they found in the study was swishing kefir (I assume milk) out performed everything else and was doing better than the mouthwashes. I know kefir milk has hundreds of good bacteria and yeasts and is beneficial to the gut. Apparently the bacteria and yeasts take over and crows the opportunistic bacteria out but don't attack the teeth and gums. Have you heard anything about this? What is your take on this and would it be worth combining with your current healthcare approach. If so, when would you use the kefir before or after xyitol? They didn't mention if you swallow it or spit it out like mouthwash either. Also is oil pulling method a hoax? I did notice a reduction of inflammation when I tried it for a week but I'm not sure if it was doing anything for the teeth. Also you mentioned when using the xyitol approach that you don't even drink water but how does it affect those suffering from dry mouth syndrome. Would small sips of water be beneficial in this case since dry method would limit saliva during this period. I may have missed this but do you also explain and have a remedy for soft teeth? My family all have soft teeth According to a number of dentists and this Apparently make us more prone to develop dental problems Apparently the enamel is easier to penetrative. Is the anything that we should be considering to compensate for this? Myself, I have a separate condition called gastroparesis and unfortunately almost all the enamel on my teeth are gone from the frequent vomiting and I am struggling to retain what teeth I have left for as long as possible. Is there something else I can do in this situation as well as the you care routine I have been attempting to implement? You are doing great service sharing all this information and educating your viewers in an easy to understand way. Great job and your work is much appreciated.
I had a root canal done over two years ago. Immediately after the procedure, I told the doctor that the tooth felt tender and slightly painful. He told me the pain was coming from the adjacent tooth. I felt annoyed but still paid the total amount, which was AUD 3,000. Now, the pain comes and goes, even after more than two years. Yesterday, I visited a different dentist, and she said that according to the X-ray, there was no infection, but X-rays don't capture everything. She also mentioned that some of my old fillings have come off and that new fillings are required for other teeth. Altogether, ten teeth need fillings. I don't know what to do. 😢 I have been scammed by the root canal doctor and I want my money back! 🤬
I received two root canals because I ignored broken fillings. You could get temporary fillings at least. I ended up with irreversible pulpitis and really bad trigeminal pain. I am not qualified enough to comment on your root canal if it was successful, but I have gotten two myself and I don't feel anything from those teeth.
One of my root canals gets sensitive and pain sometimes, I've had several X-rays and CT scans and no infection ever shows on them but something isn't quite right. I don't want to have the tooth extracted as it's a front tooth. My other root canal has never caused any problems, both were done same time.
@fionareid4557 Exactly, but I feel like something is happening with my root canal tooth. Maybe not all the nerves were removed, which is why I still feel some pain. If there's an undetected infection, the bacteria could travel into my bloodstream and all the way to my brain. 😲
As a starting spot I'd recommend trying to integrate more probiotic and fibrous foods into your diet - ideally a little at each meal. Dr. William Li has a lot of videos - and you could search for UA-cam videos by him. I personally begin my day with a few ounces of pomegranate juice and BioGaia immune health probiotic supplements. Then I give this cold drink an hour before launching into breakfast or coffee. Here is a link to the BioGaia that I like as a first start: a.co/d/bJi5WsX
I use the zellies, have switched to a carnivore diet, take many supplements including minerals boron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iodine; vitC and methylated B12+folate has been instrumental in stopping the major inflammation in my gums. Thankful for your videos and sharing information about dental care.
@@anonnymous4684 sorry to tell you that my mom had all her deep cleanings with a periodontist and did not work. Lots of suffering, her stomach destroyed because of antibiotics. And each deep cleaning = less gum. Besides periodontists do not give any guarantee that is going to stop periodontitis. Very very sad.
I dont really measure the amount of either. I use enough castor oil for the typical amount to oil pull or swish with. I add frankincense oil from a dropper. Maybe a half dropper. Then oil pull for just a few minutes to 5 min. From what I have read its not necessary to go for as long as coconut oil because the castor oil works more quickly. The frankencense works to kill oral bacteria.
Dr. Ellie I have been using your system and my gums are looking uniformly better. I have some pocketing and what I have noticed is my gums as they look healthier have shrunk up a bit as they have healed creating spaces between teeth. Is the normal part of healing gum tissue ? Do you think the gums will fill in over time ? Thank you so much I have sent your mouth care system to friends and family ! Also can we chew xylitol gum after AM cleaning ? 😊
Yes, as the gums healed, they shrunk up, receded more, because they were no more puffy...I am at 4 months and the Black triangles filled up mostly and gums are growing. The gums growth I first started noticing between the gums, I have still major receded gums at my upper front left three teeths with Black triangles and lower front teeth inside and two front teeth outside, which are going from a u-shape much more to a V-shaped, so here again gum is growing from between the teeth to the teeth..
Take 100mg of Vitamin B100 complex from Nature’s Valley or one of the others found at Walmart. A family member suffered from them for years until adding vitamin B complex to his supplements each day!
I bought your mints. I have little floss picks at work because food gets caught in my veneers. I have been eating them between meals and drinks. My gums already don’t bleed. I hope they don’t give me high blood pressure. I finally got rid of it
We love you , Dr. Ellie she is a blessing to humanity she is so beautiful inner and outer beauties . Thank you Dr. Ellie’s your appearances are gorgeous minimal make up you are a natural beauty and more beautiful indeed, than Miss Universe 🥰🙏😇😀🥰
They do not present the RISKS of deep cleaning to patients - THAT is what I find troubling. Below is a link to a study where they found increased risk for stroke three months after people with gum disease had a deep cleaning: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11047014/
Oil pulling works the best - the dental hygienist said she had nothing to do. Would put dentists out of business so most ignore it if they have something to sell.
Xylitol straight( was hoping for a bigger kick at once ) makes me go almost straight to the bathroom, if the gum or mints do better would be nice but I can’t seem to get in the habit of taking them several times a day with ,my job as a stylist. I’ve started this back up! I wanted to find a way to do them all
Unfortunately, my dentist in the UK automatically suggests a deep clean regardless, as though its a normal routine thing....obviously its all about more money for them rather than whats best for the patient... Ive been doing the mouth care system for almost a year now, and very happy with the results...no more bleeding or aches and teeth feel stronger. Just very dissapointed when going to dentist as they never say how much healthier my teeth and gums are and like i said they still recommend a deep clean!!!..... ffs!.....(i always refuse by the way, and they look confused and cant understand why i dont want it done)
Instead of an antibiotic, I would highly recommend considering Nano Spray by Silver Fern Brand. “Nano Spray contains frequency activated nano Ag4O4 (purified silver). This ingredient helps to break down the bad actors in the microbiome that may cause problems.” It specifically targets disease-causing microbes and leaves the good ones alone. For that reason, it is also probiotic-friendly. And just like their Nano Scrub product for oral and gut health, it “has a super charged oxide coating that provides ongoing strike actions. These ongoing strike actions provide rapid disassembling of harmful invaders and makes Nano Scrub much more effective at a much smaller dose. The reduced dosage of highly activated silver is incredibly effective while removing concerns of toxicity.”
I have problems every year at this time (damp autumnal weather here in Scotland) and I usually end up with sinus infections and/or tooth pain. I was interested to hear the connection between the two and it explained a lot. I hate having to take antibiotics but sometimes the infections take so long to go and I’m in such pain that I am forced to take them. I’ll have a go with Xylotol when I next experience gum inflammation and nasal blockages.
I'm glad I ran into this video. I have been diagnosed for sometime with Periodontal. I have been back and forth to one and been to a few different dentists. I am 52. I have always brushed and been particular with my hygiene. Maybe I wasn't brushing well or too hard possibly. I have no teeth that are DEAD. The dentist is trying to extract my lower back teeth and my upper right. I chew just fine. No pain. I do have gum recessions though. I don't want to extract my few teeth just to do it. They claim I have bone loss, shows in XRays. They say it will take six months to heal from an extracted tooth and then I can get a permanent implant. Please input and advise.
Xylitol upsets my stomach and gives me ulcers and acid😱I found a private dentist as I was told I needed to lose three of my teeth due to peridentitis I ve had three deep cleans with the latest technology and my pocket which was an eight has reduced to a six and the gums are regrowing 😀
Hello! I appreciate all the amazing information. I was wondering if we could be more informed on the topic of using Listerine mouth wash. Does it throw off your gut health because it kills the ecosystem of good and bad bacteria in your mouth. I know your mouth wash system is good for your teeth, but does it come with a risk. I'm curious if it were to be a life long habit. Thank you so much!
@@X-6AS The best goal is to support healthy nasal and mouth bacteria with xylitol. You can get a xylitol nasal spray. Steam can help clear the passages- I’ll do a video on how to steam safely.
Hi Doctor Ellie, my dentist has told me I have gum pockets and I’m at high risk of losing my teeth and need deep cleaning. I’m absolutely terrified of losing my teeth!! I have another dentist appointment on Wednesday. I’ve been taking extra care of my teeth since the last appointment, including chewing xylitol gum after every meal. My teeth are not loose right now, but I’m worried that will happen and I’ll lose all my teeth. What should I do?
Continue with the treatment she recommends and don’t worry. Stress is not good as it will raise the cortisol in your body , also when you become stressed your mouth dries up , have you noticed this. ?!.
A deep cleaning is not an emergency so don't let the dentist's scare tactics make you think all your teeth are going to fall out next week if you don't do this immediately. Get ALL the specific products Dr. Ellie recommends for the Complete Mouth Care System (Closys, Crest, Listerine, ACT, and Dr. Plokta's toothbrushes--1 for AM/1 for PM) and use them 2 x day, every day, without fail. Use the recommended 6 to 10 grams of xylitol gum or mints daily after eating or drinking anything, even water. Knowledge is power so watch as many of Dr. Ellie's videos as possible to educate yourself on how you can improve your oral health and help turn this situation around. She says follow her COMPLETE system DILIGENTLY for at least 4 to 6 months and then have your dentist re-evaluate your gum pockets. Chances are, your oral health will be improved but even if you still need the deep cleaning, do it and then commit to continue to use the Complete Mouth Care System for life. It works.
Same here......I started making sure I'm cleaning my strategically also. I'm seeing so many ppl saying negative things about it. Ugggh, idk either. Please keep me updated also.
I’ve used Pur gum and mints for about a month, my deep pockets are almost gone. I was supposed to go to a specialist to get a super deep cleaning and avoided their calls. Boy am I glad I came across this woman.
Please explain?
@@nkelmorgan40PUR gum and mints contain the xylitol which Dr. Ellie recommends-to be taken after meals and throughout the day. *Extremely* beneficial to our oral health and the prevention and reversal of cavities, gums and deep pockets, etc! 😊

@@Noname-oo9gn How?
@@Noname-oo9gn how do you use the diatomaceous earth clay and comfrey root powder? Taken internally, like with water? Or as a topical paste? Do you brush with them??
How many people realize that this woman's advice is helping many poor and impoverished Americans who otherwise have limited to no access to dental healthcare and/or lack sufficient health insurance to address some of their most basic dental needs (exacerbated by the general factors of poverty) in the face of the current "for profit" oral healthcare system in one of the richest countries in the world?
Good work madam! Good on her! 🙂
@@evileyelash8094 Everyone should be able to enjoy perfect teeth. If we started with pregnant Moms - we could eradicate this disease. Cost $12 - if we use granular xylitol.
I really wish I had found you sooner. Even though I was brushing and flossing daily, I had receding gums and cavities at every dental cleaning. I estimate that the number of cavities I've received over the years is in the dozens and I am only 33. The dentist wanted to have me come in for "deep cleanings" $400 a time, 4x a year. I also need 2-3 crowns. Of course none of this is covered by my insurance. I frankly could not afford this extra work. I discovered the Complete Mouth Care System back in January and decided to give it a try - Holy smokes, my mouth has never been healthier; My gums have healed and are now healthy pink. They almost look fake! I used to feel a low-grade burning beneath the surface and that is now gone! My teeth are whiter/brighter and no longer sensitive. Thank you so much for empowering people to take their dental health out of the hands of greedy dentists!
That what I have been just offered. 😮
@@eroberts1204 DrEllie.com for my system of care. I do recommend my video bootcamp for learning the EXACT technique - how to brush, good habits etc.
@@dr.elliephillips I definitely had real peridontal gum disease when I realized from reading your videos the 6, 7s and 8s they were yelling out at cleanings, 2 years ago I got a real good deep cleaning with local anesthia , a year half later I got the worse almost infection like sensitivity on one of my back molars where I could not bite hard on that molar without feeling pain or feeling like it may be lose if I did and bit my usual cold hard dark Dove chocolates on other side of mouth so I knew something was up with that molar and gum recession as I could tell it was receding myself, well I finally went to the dentist and they took X rays and gave me a regular not deep clean and referred me to a preidontist , and said well you have badly receding upper gum back molars from the X rays , I cancelled my peridontal appt as I knew it was one of those corporate for profit chains that would obviously say deep clean , then laser treatment on gums to heal faster after a deep clean first etc ( just a money maker for them only iMHO and not necessary ) and even worst gum sugery recommendation was my expectation they would make up to again make more money off you for unnecessary work IMHO of course I decided no - thats when I bumped into your videos, so I am now on Xylitol mints, Cioysis , Act , Original Listerine , gum massage vs just brushing, and had used perio care 1.7% hydorgen peroxide with self molded gum trays to work those molars, never had a cavity in my life but never brushing right , not flossing and water flossing and not knowing about PH gave me these deep pockets and not having dental care until I was essentially 25 years old and the first dental cleaning I went to the dentist looked horrified and took several cleaning to me on track. but not knowing how to brush massage gums and PH for the next 40 year left me with these deep pockets , I can bite and eat cold dark dove chocolates again , and my gums are all pale pink and when I water floss there is no sensitivity anymore , I only plan on seeing my dentist once a year since my HMO Medicare dental coverage is bad , so I now after reading your article I want to add the probiotics - ie is Garden of Life, RAW Probiotics, Colon Care, 30 Vegetarian Capsules -is that the probiotics you were referring to ( what ingredients in the probiotics is the key vs just the brand or is Garden of Life just one of the many as long as its a digestive colon Probiotics ?) ???? for added PH oral fight to make sure my deep pockets keep getting better so I can avoid both deep cleaning and the peridontists specialist that will I am sure recommended un-neeeded services for their for profit corporate practice of medicine money greed offices that will force their staff to do un-necessary services as they always will do IMHO

How is it going? Any improvement?
I grew up in the Appalachian mountains. I had never heard of a toothbrush, toothpaste,or mouthwash. Until I got to Middle School 6th gradei was 11 years old .the first time I stayed the night away from the farm with a friend from school.. before we went to bed his mom came in the bedroom and asked her son if he had brushed his teeth he told her no. She asked me if I brought my toothbrush with me I replied why would you use a brush on your teeth... At the time my life experience I had only seen a brush used to comb hair, and to brush down are work horses after we would work them in the fields to get rid of ticks fleas and fly larvae. Mom and dad had perfect white teeth just like me dad chewed Redman tobacco a pouch a day mom smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.. they never had any issues with any of their teeth. I truly believed the reason for that. We did not have running water or electricity. We got our water from a mountain spring. We raise or hunted the meat that we ate and we grew the vegetables that we consumed. We bartered or sold pork and beef, corn, beans, potatoes, apples, and cherries, once a month dad would travel an hour and a half to go into the town in either barter or buy the basic needs that you cannot provide off the land toilet paper, sugar, salt, pepper, coffee, tea bags but once I started going to the public schools drinking City water eating school lunches I started getting cavities... And when I left home and moved to the big city to go to college... My teeth got worse from all the sugar and all the toxic chemicals that they put in are drink's in are tap water and the food either from fast food restaurants or your local grocery store..
Wow, that’s such an interesting perspective, experience. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
Sorry to Say but! That IS a pretty judgmental statement.
SO You are Saying that besides where you grew up , all City food & water is Toxic & bad for you ?
Seriously! You are a Extremely Close minded person

I have been using Dr. Ellie 's program for 5 months and I am noticing my teeth and gums are more healthy, less pain to no pain at all. Thank you Dr.Ellie!
Dr Ellie, just wanted to shoot you a thank you. I'm 42 and have not taken the best care of my teeth over the years. I started your program last December, and was definitely not 100% adherent but did my best to do the full system and regularly use xylitol mints (I've done the full thing most days, and consistently used dental mints perhaps 60% of that time). Even with the imperfect use, my teeth have far less plaque, it accumulates far more slowly and possibly not at all when regularly using the xylitol mints, and several gum pockets have improved. Including one in my lower gums in the front that I thought was potentially deep enough to require a periodontist. I simply looked at it in early summer and noticed that it had recovered from recessed below the tooth line to almost its original position. To listen to many dentists I would have thought that level of regrowth and recovery wasn't possible, but here I am.
To anyone considering her program: I can't say for sure it will work for you but it's worth a shot for a few months.
My dentist only finds deep pockets when he needs to pay for his beach house lol
😅
they usually showed me their findings on my x rays they would take
Just a really stupid thing to say, you are probably projecting your own Schottman ethics onto a perfectly honest person. Dentists are overwhelmed with money paying patients, they don't need to lie to a dumb kid.
We will see if you are correct when these teeth get loose
😅
My teeth have never been so healthy. 64 years old and finally learned how easy it is to care for my teeth.
Can you plz tell what to do?
I have put turmeric powder on my teeth, cloves and gargled with rosemary when I had a wisdom toothache.
@@mahnoorkhalil2462 Crest regular tooth paste cavity protection only. Listerine cool mint mouthwash only...no other brand or flavor. Act anticavity only.
Use act just before bed. Brush after meals, especially if you've eaten sweets. Xylitol dry mouth lozenges anytime you can't brush. This combo sets your mouth to an optimal pH and heals receding gums. Works for me I hope it works for you too
I met a doctor who suggested I put a used tea bag in my mouth on the inflamed gum to eliminate the swelling, and it worked! I kept swishing my mouth with a tonic of goldenseal liguid and spring water and went on a raw food diet to deter bacterial infection and improve my gut health.
TP(tea polyphenol) works.
that's what they suggest after extracting a wisdom tooth. It can stain teeth too.
Raw food is a good way to make yourself sicker with bacteria and difficulty extracting the nutrients due to weak digestion. Sick people need cooked food.
Raw food. With lots of fresh, sweet fruit? Sugar is a good way to feed bad bacteria in your gut and make things much worse.
@@vanessac1965 But with eating raw foods (plant based, not raw meat!), you actually heal your digestive system and get able to actually digest foods. Nothing is stopping you from taking supplements in the meantime.
You're a God send Dr. Ellie! Thank you!
Thank you so much for all your dental "know-how" and your Mouth-Care system. I implemented it last December and what a game changer for my mouth!! Back to the dentist this past May and NO DEEP CLEANING this time - woot! woot! Your system takes a bit of time and effort but it is so, so worth it!!!!
I've spent hundreds of hours over ten years being worked on at Tufts U School of Dental Medicine, listening to the best professors as they train their med students in dozens of various procedures. Dr Phillips is one of the better communicators I have heard on dental issues and is as good as the best teachers in the field. Very complete, very clear, very precise.
That said I would question that once you have been diagnosed with plaque bearing pockets, that any self-cure could substitute for physical removal of those plaque or calculus structures.
Didn't she say original Listerine removes plaque?
@john... She did'nt say that !
@@TerrenLiberteyes she did...the Eucalyptol and Thymol etc. Destroy the outer shell of the freshly formed plaque and the older plaque aka tartar/ calculus has a softer shell which will dissolve it. It happen to me in the first week after 3-5 days my tartar at my lower inner front teeth were dissolved and I brushed it away.
@@chrislastnam6822yes, she did and also the closys are targeting the anaerobic bacteria under the gum in you pockets.
@@Kristina-yr6xg. No, she said that is possible that we wouldn't need any mechanical system.
You are saving lives.

So I currently have a healing sore on my gum as you posted on this video. It looks just like that sore in the featured pic for this video. My last dentist appt was August 8th 2024 and that’s when I was told I had pockets measured at #12 on my lower left. I received a deep cleaning on my upper right side only that same day. I then scheduled another appointment for my lower bottom deep cleaning. I never went for the bottom deep cleaning. It seems after they poked around my gums, it inflamed my pocket more and irritated my guns, which was not happening before. I started getting a massive pain on my lower left and a sore developed. I was about to schedule an appointment just to address that issue. Then I saw your complete care video. I bought everything. It’s literally been one week since I started your complete mouth care system. Brushing with the tooth brush you recommended in circles massaging was painful on the sore in the beginning. But I kept doing it and rinsing with the three mouth wash you recommended. You won’t believe how the pain is gone, the little bump was full of puss, it’s been coming out slowly since I started. The sore/bump has shrunk almost completely now. My gums are healing at a good rate. I can literally feel the difference within one week. I can just imagine how much the healing process will have advanced within the next 3 months. I am so excited for the results I have experienced so far. Such a substantial change is going on with me right now. I will follow up with you after my next dental appointment. Thank you from my ❤. It’s a blessing to have you giving this information to us. Thanks 🙏🏽

Please provide me with some information debunking these claims from other people
@johnnylawrence7232 that study was based on consuming 30g of Xylitol daily. I bought xylitol crystals and take a small amount and swish it around after meals and spit it out afterwards, ie don't swallow it. The mints and xylitol gum should be safe so long as you didn't eat too many in a day. But it's something to be mindful of and I admit it's made me careful not to ingest too much.

I have had my share of dental work done during my lifetime. Braces as a kid, oral surgery to have 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted on 1 visit, cleanings, some fillings, and 4 crowns (but no root canals) for teeth that broke. I have repeatedly been told I have good oral hygiene and "beautiful teeth," yet I was both surprised and dismayed to recently learn I have some deep pockets (including some bone loss) around the back molars. 😲 How I got to this point is confusing to me. Oddly enough, I've never had pre-periodontitis symptoms like gingivitis, no bleeding or receding gums. Occasionally I have had some mild sensitivity to cold in the front teeth (where the gums are "normal") but it has never been chronic.
Before discovering Dr. Ellie and her Complete Mouth Care System, I had a deep cleaning (upper and lower) on the right side in early July to address these deep pockets. Again, I am no wimp when it comes to pain or dental work but let me just say the deep cleaning was BRUTAL. Not only was the actual procedure awful to the point I had a death grip on the arms of the dental chair for 1 1/2 hours, that side of my mouth has NOT been happy (or normal feeling) since. My cheek and gums were sore for days after the hygienist stabbed me 4 or 5 times with a needle to make the area numb before the cleaning. (She definitely needs to improve her injection skills!) About a week after the deep cleaning, I developed an abscess so the periodontist put me on an antibiotic for a week. I have constantly felt like I have food stuck between my teeth (even when I don't), but the weirdest thing is my bite often feels "off" on that side.
During that week I was on the antibiotic for the abscess, I stumbled upon Dr. Ellie's YT channel, binge-watched the majority of her videos, and started her protocol immediately. I've been on it 5 1/2 weeks now, religiously using it 2 x day in conjunction with xylitol and, finally, the side of my mouth that had the deep cleaning is starting to feel more normal. The periodontist, the hygienist and even the front office receptionist were all pushing HARD for me to have the deep cleaning done on the other side of my mouth ASAP, like it was some kind of major emergency, but I cancelled the appointment and I am undecided if I will ever reschedule it. I want to try a solid 3 to 6 months on Dr. Ellie's system before I make a final decision but I'm leaning toward kissing the periodontist and his hygienist goodbye forever!
Also, prior to the deep cleaning, I occasionally had a sharp pain in one back tooth when I chewed. One dentist said I had a crack down into the root and the tooth needed to be pulled and a bridge made ($5,000.00). Three other dentists I subsequently consulted for their opinions did NOT see a crack but essentially shrugged their shoulders and said they had no explanation for the pain. I scheduled an appointment with a highly regarded endodontist in an adjacent city to see if the tooth needed a root canal but I decided to give Dr. Ellie's system some time so I cancelled the appointment. Since starting Dr. Ellie's Complete Mouth Care System and regular xylitol, the tooth seems much improved and although I haven't been brave enough to try chewing anything hard on that side yet, I can chew soft things so I'm optimistic the problem (whatever it is) is resolving on Dr. Ellie's system.
Keep using the system. You should see progress.
Hi, any update for far? Ive used her method for a little over a month now.. just wondering what your longer term experience has been like
@@Tyla473 Thanks for asking! I waited to answer your question because I had an upcoming appointment with the periodontist's office to finish the deep cleaning I started back in July. If I returned for the deep cleaning on the opposite side at all, I would have preferred to wait until I had been using Dr. Ellie’s Complete Mouth Care System least six months. However, I still had dental benefits left for 2024 that would pay for the cleaning now but if I waited, my dental benefits for 2025 are being drastically reduced. So, it was a case of either finish the cleaning now ... or probably never.
As a reminder, I had the deep cleaning on the upper and lower right side July 9 (2024). My appointment for the upper and lower left side was yesterday, Dec. 2, which was just about 4 1/2 months after starting the CMCS on July 24 (2024).
While I felt like my teeth and gums are in better shape since starting the Complete Mouth Care System, I was curious if a dental professional could see actual evidence of that. It should be noted I did not tell the hygienist I have been using xylitol the CMCS since right after my visit in July because I did not want her to be swayed one way or another. She indicated the (right) side she did the deep cleaning on in July looked really good. Probably the most significant thing she said was there was little to no bleeding of the gums while she was cleaning this time. This cleaning on the left side took slightly less time and it seemed she did not get as aggressive as she had in July when she cleaned the right side. While it wasn’t what I would describe as “fun,” it certainly was not nearly as bad as the July visit. Twenty-four hours post cleaning the left side, my gums feel perfectly normal (not even a little bit sore or swollen) whereas in July, my gums on the right side felt tender for days afterwards and my bite felt “off” for many weeks. I am also not having the sensation I have food constantly stuck between my teeth this time. I don't know if there has been any improvement in the depths of the gum pockets because they were not measured at yesterday's visit. I may schedule an appointment with my regular dentist sometime in 2025 just to have him check the pockets. Or, maybe not. 😉
In summary, I am a believer in Dr. Ellie’s Complete Mouth Care System. I do think religiously using all the products she recommends 2 x per day (Closys, Crest, Listerine, ACT, Dr. Plotka’s toothbrushes) have improved my mouth health. This seems to be substantiated by the comments the hygienist made and the way my mouth feels. I will say that I do not always get the recommended 6 to 10 grams of xylitol every day because I have drastically limited my snacking and sipping liquids throughout the day (and in the process I have lost 5 pounds, which is another added benefit!). I also use xylitol every day but some days I might only get in 3 or 4 grams so I want to make an effort to be more diligent in using it more often, even if I have not had anything to eat or drink. I am committed to using Dr. Ellie’s Complete Mouth Care System (and xylitol) for the rest of my life.
How is your Complete Mouth Care System journey going?
Thank U so much, Doc
Instead of antibiotics for sinuses, try Xclear nasal spray. Xylitol for the sinuses. Start it from the beginning.
It's saline solution. Their whole line of products is junk, you might as well stand on one foot chewing grape seeds while staring at the Sun.

Dentist and hygienists are so sure they know best that you'd almost have to go elsewhere to get away from their ingrained beliefs. Add to that a hygienist with OCD that cannot stop digging and scraping no matter what system you have been using to heal your mouth and well . . .I'm already having an anxiety attack just thinking about my upcoming appointment.
Same here! I complained for over a year about sensitivity and they sold me expensive toothpaste that never worked. They insisted it worked. Never once mentioned Xylitol…?.. Since using it regularly with Dr Ellie’s system I have zero sensitivity. I’m due for a cleaning and missed my last one and I’m so dreading it!
Antibiotics are palliative at best, using xylitol , is one of the best things, I’ve ever discovered to fight bacteria and the formation of pockets
What is xylitol
@@helenjackson9232a sugar derived from fruits and birch trees. I use candies that contain it and i got a lb from the health food store.
@@helenjackson9232 It is a natural sugar, that the human body does produce in very small amounts (I’ll let the good doctor explain that one), And it’s also derived from hardwood trees like birch trees as well as corn stocks and, I think other sources but the one thing I’ve heard most about our corn stocks and birch trees and hardwood trees
@@helenjackson9232it is a naturally occurring chemical in some foods. It is available as a product, too. So you can get xylitol chewing gum, mint, and probably more, to use during the day between brushing. You want to have xylitol after each time you eat something. It helps to bring about a different saliva to help you neutralize your mouth after you’ve been chewing foods.
@@helenjackson9232 This channel is all about xylitol..
Thank u. Quite useful.
Put Xylitol crystals on your Crest toothpaste/toothbrush, and brush up to 3 minutes or so on the gums, front, back and tops of your teeth. I have seen a white infection pocket on my gum. In less than 3 days, probably sooner, the white pocket infection was completely gone. Avoid deep cleanings like the plague. Use Xylitol gum up to 5 times a day also with brushing in the morning and possibly evening with Listerine instead of water for 30 second rinsing.
I cant get the gum is using the granuels swished around for minutes just as effective ? Thanks
share the link to the xylitol crystals. thanks
Take d3 with k2-mk7. it will remove the calcium plaque and put the calcium back into the bones where it belongs. You can also use the xylitol gum to kill off the bad bacteria. This will heal the gums very quickly.
Stay away from fluoride; say No to Crest toothpaste and those types of brands
@@beabchill - good luck with that
I just spent $1000.00 on a deep cleaning that was the biggest waste of money. They didn’t even clean my teeth. I will try this.
Me too.. $1400! I’m pissed! No insurance
@@elainebb5937 same, except 2000. ERRRRRRR
Air flow cleaning that last 60 minutes costs 120 euros in Austria 😮 it's not covered by the general social security. But the amount you give is absolutely abusive...
Then u wonder why people fly out of the country due to $$$
Thank you for the video Dr. Phillips! I recently went to the dentist and periodontist and had pockets of 1-3 which they said were good however I know from your videos that no pockets are good. They did say I need extensive grafting due to thin gum tissue. My question to you is if I can build my gums back up and also close the black triangles I have?
Hi you are the best dentist I’m really happy i met you and I believe in you thank you Dr. Philips. I enjoy your videos .
Helo Dr Ellie! Which probiotics do you recommend against sinus problems ? Could you please advise? Thanks. Bernadette
get Xylitol nasal spray
What do you recommend to remove food stuck in between teeth and close to the gum line?
Thank you
Floss!
🎉❤ So thankful that I found you recently!
I placed an order for the zylitol gum. I'm hoping it will work along with maintaining a good oral hygiene routine
Thank you!
Does rinsing with colloidal silver help?
This is mostly focused on US, there is no crest toothpaste or zellies in Europe. How can we follow you plan in Europe, please?
Crest is Oral-B in Nederland. Xylitol kun je gemakkelijk online bestellen. Ook kun je dit kopen in een natuurwinkel
Yep, can't afford to import it. Even the Xlear nasal spray someone mentioned here you won't get here in Thailand. would have to pay an arm and a leg for it. As for Xylitol, I will try the xylitol grains. Available here and much cheaper. Also use dried cloves and chew on them and will buy neem leaves for gum care.
I got rid of my dental disease with cutting out all carbs
Carbs are essential to good health. Good luck with that.
@@Veteran007 Carbs in the form of sugars/ desserts, not good on teeth.
Use xylitol after meals , carbs or not.
@@Veteran007lmao, the required amount of carbohydrate is ZERO! 😂
@@sharfalor4244 Online it states that the recommendation for Americans is 45 - 65% of the diet. It's also stated that the body requires carbs to stay healthy and work properly. And that the secret is to choose complex carbs more so than simple carbs.
@@Veteran007 Hogwash lol
Question --how do you permanently treat tonsil stones.
Thank you. 🌸🌻
Thank you for explaining these periodontal pockets. My mother's dentist says she has them and pushes for a very expensive procedures and even takes about bone grafting those this might be something else mixed in for that. This gives both information and hope for her situation.
I recently read a study that compared common mouthwash and care products and included some unusual and natural alternatives. One of the things they found in the study was swishing kefir (I assume milk) out performed everything else and was doing better than the mouthwashes. I know kefir milk has hundreds of good bacteria and yeasts and is beneficial to the gut. Apparently the bacteria and yeasts take over and crows the opportunistic bacteria out but don't attack the teeth and gums.
Have you heard anything about this? What is your take on this and would it be worth combining with your current healthcare approach. If so, when would you use the kefir before or after xyitol? They didn't mention if you swallow it or spit it out like mouthwash either. Also is oil pulling method a hoax? I did notice a reduction of inflammation when I tried it for a week but I'm not sure if it was doing anything for the teeth.
Also you mentioned when using the xyitol approach that you don't even drink water but how does it affect those suffering from dry mouth syndrome. Would small sips of water be beneficial in this case since dry method would limit saliva during this period.
I may have missed this but do you also explain and have a remedy for soft teeth? My family all have soft teeth According to a number of dentists and this Apparently make us more prone to develop dental problems Apparently the enamel is easier to penetrative. Is the anything that we should be considering to compensate for this?
Myself, I have a separate condition called gastroparesis and unfortunately almost all the enamel on my teeth are gone from the frequent vomiting and I am struggling to retain what teeth I have left for as long as possible. Is there something else I can do in this situation as well as the you care routine I have been attempting to implement?
You are doing great service sharing all this information and educating your viewers in an easy to understand way. Great job and your work is much appreciated.
I had a root canal done over two years ago. Immediately after the procedure, I told the doctor that the tooth felt tender and slightly painful. He told me the pain was coming from the adjacent tooth. I felt annoyed but still paid the total amount, which was AUD 3,000.
Now, the pain comes and goes, even after more than two years. Yesterday, I visited a different dentist, and she said that according to the X-ray, there was no infection, but X-rays don't capture everything. She also mentioned that some of my old fillings have come off and that new fillings are required for other teeth. Altogether, ten teeth need fillings. I don't know what to do. 😢
I have been scammed by the root canal doctor and I want my money back! 🤬
Watch her complete mouth care system here on youtube. It can reverse some cavities.
I received two root canals because I ignored broken fillings. You could get temporary fillings at least. I ended up with irreversible pulpitis and really bad trigeminal pain. I am not qualified enough to comment on your root canal if it was successful, but I have gotten two myself and I don't feel anything from those teeth.
Try oil pulling. At least you have nothing to lose....
One of my root canals gets sensitive and pain sometimes, I've had several X-rays and CT scans and no infection ever shows on them but something isn't quite right. I don't want to have the tooth extracted as it's a front tooth. My other root canal has never caused any problems, both were done same time.
@fionareid4557
Exactly, but I feel like something is happening with my root canal tooth. Maybe not all the nerves were removed, which is why I still feel some pain. If there's an undetected infection, the bacteria could travel into my bloodstream and all the way to my brain. 😲
She’s a Saint 😇
Dr Ellie can please recommend something for digestive health supplements 🙏
As a starting spot I'd recommend trying to integrate more probiotic and fibrous foods into your diet - ideally a little at each meal.
Dr. William Li has a lot of videos - and you could search for UA-cam videos by him.
I personally begin my day with a few ounces of pomegranate juice and BioGaia immune health probiotic supplements.
Then I give this cold drink an hour before launching into breakfast or coffee.
Here is a link to the BioGaia that I like as a first start: a.co/d/bJi5WsX
@ Thank you 🙏 so very much for your response & support really appreciated 🙏
I use the zellies, have switched to a carnivore diet, take many supplements including minerals boron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iodine; vitC and methylated B12+folate has been instrumental in stopping the major inflammation in my gums. Thankful for your videos and sharing information about dental care.
I had deep cleaning yesterday, but my insurance payed for it . But I would like to avoid having another one in the future
How was it? How do you feel now
If you already have periodontal disease, it's not a good idea to skip deep cleanings, as the bacteria thrive in the pockets.
@@anonnymous4684 sorry to tell you that my mom had all her deep cleanings with a periodontist and did not work. Lots of suffering, her stomach destroyed because of antibiotics. And each deep cleaning = less gum. Besides periodontists do not give any guarantee that is going to stop periodontitis. Very very sad.
Dr Phillips, how do you feel about antibiotics before a cleaning?? is there any other solutions??
I do oil pulling with castor oil and frankinscence. My gums are regrowing.
That's awesome! If you have time could you let us know how much of each do you use and for what length of time do you pull? Thanks :)
I dont really measure the amount of either. I use enough castor oil for the typical amount to oil pull or swish with. I add frankincense oil from a dropper. Maybe a half dropper. Then oil pull for just a few minutes to 5 min. From what I have read its not necessary to go for as long as coconut oil because the castor oil works more quickly. The frankencense works to kill oral bacteria.
@@Lisa_marie1212 Thank you for your reply! I will definitely give it a try :)
@@gerty9250 15-20 minutes
Dr. Ellie I have been using your system and my gums are looking uniformly better. I have some pocketing and what I have noticed is my gums as they look healthier have shrunk up a bit as they have healed creating spaces between teeth. Is the normal part of healing gum tissue ? Do you think the gums will fill in over time ? Thank you so much I have sent your mouth care system to friends and family ! Also can we chew xylitol gum after AM cleaning ? 😊
Yes, as the gums healed, they shrunk up, receded more, because they were no more puffy...I am at 4 months and the Black triangles filled up mostly and gums are growing. The gums growth I first started noticing between the gums, I have still major receded gums at my upper front left three teeths with Black triangles and lower front teeth inside and two front teeth outside, which are going from a u-shape much more to a V-shaped, so here again gum is growing from between the teeth to the teeth..
Thank you Dr. Ellie Phillips, could you share a link to take the saliva test? Thank you
Any advice for canker sores? Prevention or treatment? Thank you!
Take 100mg of Vitamin B100 complex from Nature’s Valley or one of the others found at Walmart. A family member suffered from them for years until adding vitamin B complex to his supplements each day!
Hello, Dr. Ellie Phillips After brushing your teeth in the evening or in the morning do you recommend the use of xylitol?
Dr.ellie, what do you say about Hydroxyapatite?
I bought your mints. I have little floss picks at work because food gets caught in my veneers. I have been eating them between meals and drinks. My gums already don’t bleed. I hope they don’t give me high blood pressure. I finally got rid of it
We love you , Dr. Ellie she is a blessing to humanity she is so beautiful inner and outer beauties . Thank you Dr. Ellie’s your appearances are gorgeous minimal make up you are a natural beauty and more beautiful indeed, than Miss Universe 🥰🙏😇😀🥰
🙏😁
This is going to sound bad, but I've been brushing mostly once a day for more than ten years and my mouth is healthy as ever.
oh I never knew that is why they deep clean. I find that hard to believe the dentist did not tell my elderly patient he had an infection. WOW!!
They do not present the RISKS of deep cleaning to patients - THAT is what I find troubling.
Below is a link to a study where they found increased risk for stroke three months after people with gum disease had a deep cleaning:
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11047014/
Oil pulling works the best - the dental hygienist said she had nothing to do. Would put dentists out of business so most ignore it if they have something to sell.
Xylitol straight( was hoping for a bigger kick at once ) makes me go almost straight to the bathroom, if the gum or mints do better would be nice but I can’t seem to get in the habit of taking them several times a day with ,my job as a stylist. I’ve started this back up! I wanted to find a way to do them all
Unfortunately, my dentist in the UK automatically suggests a deep clean regardless, as though its a normal routine thing....obviously its all about more money for them rather than whats best for the patient...
Ive been doing the mouth care system for almost a year now, and very happy with the results...no more bleeding or aches and teeth feel stronger.
Just very dissapointed when going to dentist as they never say how much healthier my teeth and gums are and like i said they still recommend a deep clean!!!..... ffs!.....(i always refuse by the way, and they look confused and cant understand why i dont want it done)
So why don't you have a conversation with them and ask them why they recommend it and debate why you think you don't?
Dr Ellie, does Ozone therapy work as well? thanks
Instead of an antibiotic, I would highly recommend considering Nano Spray by Silver Fern Brand. “Nano Spray contains frequency activated nano Ag4O4 (purified silver). This ingredient helps to break down the bad actors in the microbiome that may cause problems.” It specifically targets disease-causing microbes and leaves the good ones alone. For that reason, it is also probiotic-friendly. And just like their Nano Scrub product for oral and gut health, it “has a super charged oxide coating that provides ongoing strike actions. These ongoing strike actions provide rapid disassembling of harmful invaders and makes Nano Scrub much more effective at a much smaller dose. The reduced dosage of highly activated silver is incredibly effective while removing concerns of toxicity.”
I have problems every year at this time (damp autumnal weather here in Scotland) and I usually end up with sinus infections and/or tooth pain. I was interested to hear the connection between the two and it explained a lot. I hate having to take antibiotics but sometimes the infections take so long to go and I’m in such pain that I am forced to take them. I’ll have a go with Xylotol when I next experience gum inflammation and nasal blockages.
Yep coconut oil and 5 essentials.
thanks a lot from indonesia
I'm glad I ran into this video. I have been diagnosed for sometime with Periodontal. I have been back and forth to one and been to a few different dentists. I am 52. I have always brushed and been particular with my hygiene. Maybe I wasn't brushing well or too hard possibly. I have no teeth that are DEAD. The dentist is trying to extract my lower back teeth and my upper right. I chew just fine. No pain. I do have gum recessions though. I don't want to extract my few teeth just to do it. They claim I have bone loss, shows in XRays. They say it will take six months to heal from an extracted tooth and then I can get a permanent implant. Please input and advise.
try this system for 6 months first
What kit does one start with from her store? Please
Just wondering which Probiotics feom Garden of Life? There are so many.

Thank you for the info, I missed.
Does wearing a mouth guard make it worse. Seems mine started after i started wearing a mouth guard.
Same here
A mouth guard for sports or to stop grinding?
Xylitol upsets my stomach and gives me ulcers and acid😱I found a private dentist as I was told I needed to lose three of my teeth due to peridentitis I ve had three deep cleans with the latest technology and my pocket which was an eight has reduced to a six and the gums are regrowing 😀
which ones are the latests technologies your periodontist use?
Hello! I appreciate all the amazing information. I was wondering if we could be more informed on the topic of using Listerine mouth wash. Does it throw off your gut health because it kills the ecosystem of good and bad bacteria in your mouth. I know your mouth wash system is good for your teeth, but does it come with a risk. I'm curious if it were to be a life long habit. Thank you so much!
How do I use the system after oral surgery? Do I just skip the Listerine step until it heals? Dentist told me not to use alcohol rinse until healed.
Yes - that would work.
Hi Dr. Ellie, is it possible to get bacteria out of your nose without antibiotics? If so, how? Thank you❤
@@X-6AS The best goal is to support healthy nasal and mouth bacteria with xylitol. You can get a xylitol nasal spray. Steam can help clear the passages- I’ll do a video on how to steam safely.
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you ❤
Hi Doctor Ellie, my dentist has told me I have gum pockets and I’m at high risk of losing my teeth and need deep cleaning. I’m absolutely terrified of losing my teeth!! I have another dentist appointment on Wednesday. I’ve been taking extra care of my teeth since the last appointment, including chewing xylitol gum after every meal. My teeth are not loose right now, but I’m worried that will happen and I’ll lose all my teeth. What should I do?
Continue with the treatment she recommends and don’t worry. Stress is not good as it will raise the cortisol in your body , also when you become stressed your mouth dries up , have you noticed this. ?!.
A deep cleaning is not an emergency so don't let the dentist's scare tactics make you think all your teeth are going to fall out next week if you don't do this immediately. Get ALL the specific products Dr. Ellie recommends for the Complete Mouth Care System (Closys, Crest, Listerine, ACT, and Dr. Plokta's toothbrushes--1 for AM/1 for PM) and use them 2 x day, every day, without fail. Use the recommended 6 to 10 grams of xylitol gum or mints daily after eating or drinking anything, even water. Knowledge is power so watch as many of Dr. Ellie's videos as possible to educate yourself on how you can improve your oral health and help turn this situation around. She says follow her COMPLETE system DILIGENTLY for at least 4 to 6 months and then have your dentist re-evaluate your gum pockets. Chances are, your oral health will be improved but even if you still need the deep cleaning, do it and then commit to continue to use the Complete Mouth Care System for life. It works.
Same here......I started making sure I'm cleaning my strategically also. I'm seeing so many ppl saying negative things about it. Ugggh, idk either. Please keep me updated also.
Do we have to buy your products?
