I have had sdf applied to soft spots at the gum line or really at the recession line below where the gum should be. I have started your system, though I dont like the food dyes, but wonder if I should have the sdf removed. Also, It would be great to find dye free alternatives to listerine and act and crest and include in your system
Hi Dr. Ellie. Thank you very much for your video. I have severe and long term chemical sensitivities and could not use the products you recommend. I am even sensitive to xylitol. I am ok with stevia, sea salt, and bicarb. I would love to do still do the best l can for my teeth. I have decay in a tooth and an appt for a filling in October. It would be so wonderful to know what to try with the options l have. Can you direct me to any specific resources? Thanks🙏
@@caitlin7325 I am afraid I do not know of any other way to reverse the damage done by infection in your mouth, outside of the use of the specific products in my complete mouth care system.
I have been a holistic supporter and follower of organic healthy, eating all my life since I was a teenager. I believe that plastic fillings are very toxic, and that without adequate support fillings, do not last well in the mouth and constantly need replacement - with the result that these filled teeth often require a root canal eventually.
The damage to health by the plastic, and the root canals is my concern for you.
This is why I encourage you to reconsider using Xylitol, especially my products Zellies in the correct way.
Xylitol is naturally occurring in our bodies and the people who struggle with Xylitol are often those with digestive imbalances. It’s ironic because Xylitol is actually a prebiotic that helps stabilize gut health.
Begin by taking one mint at the end of a meal. My suggestion would be a cherry berry mint , which is a soft and recommended flavor for children. Simply begin with one mint at the end of meals, and ensure you do not eat or drink afterwards for 1 to 2 hours - nothing not even a sip of water. The Xylitol will feed the good bacteria in your mouth and develop change.
When you have done this for a few months, perhaps try again with the Closys and the toothpaste that I recommend, and potentially with the entire complete mouth care system.
Consider that my rinses take only two minutes a day and you do not consume them. If they can save you from the need for a plastic filling that will be in your mouth for the rest of your life - this seems like a very simple option to avoid a filling I wish you the best.
@@sagedilts2594 SDF would not be my choice for adult teeth - because of the staining - but it is not a problem.
My system will help you develop a healthy biofilm to protect these areas, and with correct use of my system, an adequate toothbrush and gum massage etc - I expect you to find resolution in these receded areas.
You may like to explore some of the specific details on my website at my oral health bootcamp.
I explain why I suggest these specific products and that I know of no other system that has the power to create these healthy changes in your mouth.
Since Closys is clear, you will only be rinsing with "colored" products for a total of 2-4 minutes per day.
If you allow your saliva time to bathe your mouth for the other 23 hours and 56 minutes, I think this puts things in perspective and it will help you get dramatic improvements.
I encourage you to learn the best ways to maximize the effects of xylitol - and do not eat or drink after the Zellies mints - for 1-2 hours - not even water - so you do not dilute your saliva.
All this information is in my oral health bootcamp - and it is easier to communicate and answer questions with students on that platform.
I wish you great success and I would love to hear about your results :)
@@dr.elliephillips thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I will try again with xylitol. Yes, l have long term digestive issues and me/cfs, both very resistant to healing, using both conventional medicine and natural alternatives. Thanks again for your kind words.💗
To reverse a cavity:
1. Inactivated bacteria
- Mouth rinse
- Take xylitol after every meal and don't eat or drink 30-60 min afterwards. Xylitol
Inactivate bacteria and prevent acids and plaque formation. This takes 6 months for this to occur.
2. Protect the good bacteria by not using any products with baking soda, petoxide, chlorhexidine.
3. Remineralization by your own saliva. Give it time especially in the afternoon hours. This can take longer.
I brush with baking soda and peroxide every day and have no cavities for 15 yrs
Do u to mouth rinse with water?
@@kathleen9456do you mix them together and are your teeth pearly white?
Yes. There is a bunch of natural agent/remedies that have been well researched and have shown to help treat cavities naturally through remineralization there is a good video called “ How to Treat Cavities Naturally Through Remineralization?” That goes through the research.
I started using peridex at the advice of my dental hygienist because they want to see if the starting of some decay from an impacted tooth will remjneralize. I now feel sensitivity in another tooth so maybe that’s why. My mouth felt super clean but clearly something happened, I feel it when I drink cold water
Dr Rhonda Patrick had a great interview on Joe Rogan (video is on YT) where she talked about having 2 cavities that needed filling but she was pregnant and wanted to wait until after the child was born. In the meantime, she started chewing xylitol gum every day and when she went back to the dentist a year later, both cavities were gone.
It's bs just
I saw that too. But there is a bunch of natural agent/remedies not just xylitol that have been well researched and have shown to help treat cavities naturally through remineralization there is a good video called “ How to Treat Cavities Naturally Through Remineralization?” That goes through the research.
Yes bc we listen to racist and male chauvinistic Joe Rogan. 🙄

I have been doing oil pulling for years, and I haven't had a cavity since I started. My teeth are healthy, strong and I don't have any plaque anymore.
How often do you pull oil? Will the vegetable oil suit?
Can you share the oil pulling ingradients pls?
Most likely coconut oil
Can it help sensitivity?
Castor oil as well

Good Morning Dr. Phillips. Your video is fascinating! Can't wait to try all your tips! Instant sub!
💯 thanks 🙏🏾 this gives me hopes
Thank you for this content 🙏
Well I didnt wake up this morning expecting to be binge watching your videos about dental care! They're really interesting!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
I have a video oral health bootcamp at DrEllie.com if you are hungry for more! 😁👍🦷
I’m going to try this method.
I noticed the other day that the the back edge of my right canine tooth felt odd and sharp on my tongue after eating..and when I finally looked at it in a mirror I was horrified that it is indeed a cavity..not a big one but it’s there!
Thank you for this valuable information Dr. Phillips…I’m also going to watch your other videos on your overall teeth and gum health methods. New Sub! 👌🏼
How goes it so far?
Update?
Thank you!
I've suffered tooth decay and toothache for quite a while without understanding what was happening. I never got a proper diagnosis from the Dentist just a large bill.
I then discovered how to counteract a mouthful of infected teeth with Hydrogen Peroxide and that took the pain away from eating and I realised what the effects and process of gum disease was.
I am now interested in the possibility of recovering a tooth which I've never heard of before but am slightly put off if that means 'giving up' HP but didn't understand the good bacteria concept.
I'm a bit reluctant to let go but want to try this method ...
For anyone reading this, the book, Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye is a life altering book by Dr. Ellie Phillips. If you do what she says in it, starting at chapter 13, you will revolutionize your oral care.

Remineralisation with ormus?
My dentist suggested using salt water with turmeric powder mixed in it to rinse the mouth clean from bacteria. What is your view on this?
That would have the same effect as rinsing with baking soda water. Disrupts the bad bacteria, but also the good. Salt and baking soda are both alkaline sodium compounds.
A mineral rich salt will add minerals and the tumeric, is an anti inflammatory
I've reversed at least 4 cavities in my lifetime, when I feel that super cold painful feeling, I concentrate brushing better in that area and chew my food avoiding the area for several days and it goes away very quickly, about 2 to 3 weeks.
Can we reverse cavity and remineralize the tooth even after the cavity has caused a hole in the tooth?
@@LITTLE-ROCK With Dr. Ellie's complete mouth care system protocol, yes, you can, unless the hole is too large. If it's too large, then you will likely still have to get the cavity filled, but you can still use the same products to strengthen the teeth for a few months before having the cavity filled, and that will make for a better filling job and the filling will last longer if you keep up with using the products.
hi in my case it is very initial stage. I don't even consume sugar at all . will fluoride toothpaste work? and chewing sugar free gum
@@mishtibansal246No, it will not work by itself; you need to do the complete mouth care system (all 5 products). The sugar-free chewing gum is likely inappropriate and may very well set your progress back.
@@SunrayStar in my case my primary teeth premolar had a crack from side after little bit movement and it has bended completely on right side it is loose also but my permanent teeth is fully grown in its place. Should I get it removed after it gets fully loose ?
I actually reversed a cavity. When much later i went for the root canal, the dentist stopped the procedure and said he had only seen that happen one other time in his career. So xylitol makes perfect sense as it's cheaper than the colloidal silver I swished with.
So you a dentist told you you needed a root canal because of a cavity and when you went in the cavity was reversed? How long did that take/
@@goodfellabeatsunicorn
@goodfellabeats I can't type the whole procedure, but after working on it, he was fascinated and said it wouldn't be proper to keep drilling into what looked to be newly formed enamel. He sent me home (with his personal phone number) for two weeks with pain pills in case it started hurting again. After two weeks, he put the cap back on. That was 7 years ago.
@@calvinmitchell6381
What all things you did to reverse a cavity? Was your cavity having a hole?
Hey there! That’s awesome, congrats! I too would like to know. Been working on my own with supplements.
Thank you. Can decay be reversed if down ro gum?
Amazing, thank you so much for this info. Do you have any recommendations for teeth grinding? I know this is affects my oral health
Dr. Ellie just advises simply going on her Complete Mouth Care System to strengthen the teeth and improve your overall oral health. She said that healthy teeth are as strong as steel and will not be able to be damaged by teeth grinding!
Hello, thank you for this video. What is the list of products needed? And can it be used on children?
Children need to be able to rinse and spit before starting this program completely. Zellies are good from 2 years old (cherry berry mints are delicious)- so usually kids will be around 6/7 years to embark on the full program.
I’d suggest you try everything first and then introduce your family to it once you understand what is going on and how everything feels.
There is a free downloadable booklet at my website DrEllie.com and there is also an educational video oral health Bootcamp that you may like to watch with your family - to understand what is happening in your mouth.
Thanks a lot. I am using Chlorhexidine for stopping cavities. It works best. Now need reversal. Trying to follow you.
Chlorhexidine innrecent study known to be associated with type 2diabetes as far as I remember
@@Vk-co2owok. hmm....but it may not be harmful 2 week-long uses daily 2/3 times and then after 1 days in a week before sleeping at night or day time.
Pretty sure the long term effects aren’t good. That’s why they say don’t use it longer than a few weeks
Dr. Ellie advises to avoid all products with chlorhexidine because it kills off ALL the bacteria in the mouth, both good and bad bacteria. But you need the good bacteria to protect your teeth and gums.
Since my initial filling about a year and a half ago, I haven't had any additional dental work done. My dentist advised me to eat on the opposite side of my mouth to prevent food from getting stuck in the exposed upper right tooth. I've been following that advice.The dentist also wanted to wait and check if a root canal was required, but I haven't visited since then. I'm considering trying to reverse the cavity at home instead of going to the dentist. However, I'm concerned about how to treat the open tooth after I remove plaque and tartar, as I don't want to get filling done because I've heard that fillings can be harmful.
Dr. Ellie, I leave in Northern Ireland,I am trying to get your products for dental care, I tried to get from your Web page without success, and neither thorough Amazon's. The answer is usually not in stock
Great Great info here! I would like call out for everyone concerned with oral health that maintainung your GUM health is equally important if not even more so because your gums hold your teeth. Without good gum health you will fallen victim to periodontal disease. Take good care of your gums too!!!
Dr. Phillips I just want to clarify that you are talking about remineralization of cavitated lesions meaning tooth structured is already has been lost right? I am aware of remineralization of initial incipient lesions but to gain new tooth structure after lost of structure must be something new. Can you please provide some studies about that. Thanks.
Wheatgrass helps a lot as well
I’ve just started on this after watching a woman say it’s better than coconut oil
Hi Ellie, great video. I have a couple of small metal fillings which I will be having removed. From your video I understand that cavities identified before fillings, where the tooth still has most if its structure, can be remineralised. Do you have any experience where someone has already had fillings removed, and so there is a chunk of the tooth missing, where they have been able to remineralise/rebuild the structure of that tooth? I am considering experimenting with not replacing the small metal fillings with white fillings.
The follow up question to that then is how deep can fillings go until there is no return? I unfortunately also have a couple of big fillings and conscious that if replaced with white ones (where I believe they'll have to dig the tooth out even deeper to stick the white filling on) the tooth may not survive long term. It would be great if I could remove them and, if no pain, let them remineralise.
I would not recommend you doing anything until you reverse those new small cavities. Cavities are caused by a bacterial disease in your mouth. To protect the new work done you need first to stop this infection.
I do not recommend getting silver metal fillings replaced - certainly not until your mouth is SO healthy you can get your dentist to agree that you no longer need a dental cleaning.
That healthy and clean!!🦷
Once a tooth has been drilled it can NOT rebuild itself back - at least not at this time. Wait a bit for technology to advance and who knows? Possibility. Don’t rush into dental treatments.
DrEllie.com for details of how to do this. You may enjoy my oral health video bootcamp on this website.
@@dr.elliephillips many thanks for the detailed response.
@@richymorganrp my pleasure. Hope this info is helpful. Be aware white fillings have drawbacks that make them less desirable than many realize.
@@dr.elliephillipsare white fillings better than the old mercury fillings?
@@dr.elliephillipsWhat type of filling do you recommend?
Best prevention I found is to thoroughly rinse my mouth with water every time i finish eating and it does the job. There is no acid build-up created by oral bacteria feeding on food.
dr.can you plz tell about Gumm recessions treatment if there is exist
thanks
This is awesome
I just got some xylitol gum
Ok, where do I get this product?
Can you do the same for children?
Vitamin D3 and K2 from eggs helps the body repair the damage to teeth. They’re needed for the absorption of calcium and other minerals by the body. And avoid fluoride, it binds to calcium and other minerals which prevents the body from absorbing it properly.
That's right
Yes! I’m severely deficient in vitamin d because of stomach issues so my teeth been breaking for years. Anyway, doc prescribed 50k units of vitamin d butif course it was d2. So I didn’t fill the script. I had already did my research that you need d3 + k2 to send the calcium to the right places.
she recommends fluoride!
@sreamingonline6160 my exact story a couple of months ago. I even schooled a nurse there about K2 for directing D3 and he was adamant it had to be with Magnesium. He researched it and told me even his wife knew what I knew. Good thing is, he admitted he was wrong and open to learning.
Can i use anything else instead of xylitol?
❤😮❤ do you have a complete kit available for sale
What is the mouth rinse made out of?
Why does using xylitol after meals matter?
How does the timing change the process?
I had tooth decay and I stared brushing with salt water This method stop and all cleared.👍
salt water? what is your mixture exactly
Salt and water i assume@@katybrooke0724
What about to salt water mouth rinse? Just as effective or no?
Hey Jennifer, can you answer the questions? Pls and thanks
You are FOS
How long is the remineralization process? How does it differ from the initial process? You defined this second process as leaving your mouth void of food in the afternoon to allow saliva to remineralize the teeth. But isn’t that essentially what the first process entails?
ua-cam.com/video/qKaC7rBRrYw/v-deo.htmlsi=ZVGhYOeBNST3UEa7
The remineralization process is ongoing, like forever. Your teeth are constantly breaking down in everyday life, but then remineralization will occur to repair the damage as long as conditions in your mouth are right for remineralization to happen. If conditions are not right, then there will just be damage with no remineralization, and off to the dentist's you go.
I think start by controlling ur diet as much as possible esp sugar intake and eat more neutral/alkaline food and minimize as much sugar and candies or chocolates etc or even sugary drinks then followed my putting beef lard on tat particular site and give time to “heal” and after ure done eating use a mouthwash/mouth rinse consisting of colloidal silver,coconut oil and DMSO.. I hope u get good results and stick with it and no matter what u diet is extremely important
What about using: colloidal silver, probiotics, fish liver oil
sea or pink Himalayan salt, black seed oil or cloves
echinacea & goldenseal? ❤
Did you mean for general health of the body, or specifically to use those things in the mouth for dental health? Dr. Ellie says that using clove oil in the mouth should never be done because clove oil kills teeth.
How do I perform myself a root canal??
I wish i saw this sooner! I had two fillings last year and wish i never did it. Do composite fillings need to be redone overtime if we follow your protocol would this prevent it ?
Dr. Ellie says that using her system strengthens teeth so that fillings will last way, way longer than they usually do, and that it is possible for fillings to even last a lifetime. She herself still has original fillings in her mouth from when she was in her 20's, and now she is in her 70's. (She has been using her own system for all these years.)
@SunrayStar thank you. I didn't know she had fillings.
Question, do i need to use the mints/gum if i eat breakfast or dinner then immediately do the teeth brushing system you discuss? Wouldn't I just use the mints if I'm not going to be brushing/mouthwash?
Yes, mints or gum right after meal. And no eating or drinking 1 hr after that.
I believe the last commenter did not understand exactly what you were asking. NO, you do not need to use mints/gum after eating if you are immediately going to do the 4-step at-the-sink protocol. That is correct - you would just use the mints if you're not going to be doing the mouthwash/brushing protocol. AND IN FACT - this is very important: Dr. Ellie says that you should never use xylitol right before using the Step 1 Closys rinse because XYLITOL INACTIVATES CLOSYS. It is completely fine to use xylitol about 30 minutes after doing the very last step of the ACT rinse, but do not ever use xylitol right before the 4-step system (and this means do not use xylitol within about 45 minutes before Closys).
@@SunrayStar thanks! That makes sense.
What do say about regrowing tooth with stemcells.is it possible
How often do you use the gum ?
Thanks a lot.
Thank You!
US NAVY. Addendum...allso

A little filling just fell off last night. not even 6 months in... It was NOT for a cavity, but because neamer erosion caused extreme sensitivity where the dentin is exposed, right at gum line and root is exposed. I started using your oral care system about 10 days ago now and I don't feel extreme pain where the filling came off, just sensitivity... I have another filling at the tooth beside it, for same reason and feel like its going to fall off soon... The dentist who did those little fillings drilled a tiny bit in the tooth (the edge along the gum line on the root) without any anesthetic as I can't have them. Was told I need root canal (because dentist could not find the reason of the pain on xrays and I saw 5 different dentists... I refuse to do a root canal and there is nothing showing any signs of tooth disease on xrays anyways). My question is, do you think my enamel could regrow wher ethe dentist srilled a little bit (he said it was sand blast. not sure whats the difference) and the "filling was an extrely thin layer of resin... it cost me $600 for him to do that on 2 teeth, but just 3mm high and 1mm or less deep and it took him 15 mins to do that. I feel I was ripped off and it was not even what I had requested... I feel that getting them refilled would #1 not even last and have to be redone over and over and the dentist would drill more I could not bare it without anesthetics + would eventually get to the nerve and cause me to need it extracted. I am not a dentist, so I am asking you as I do not trust the regular dentists anymore.... a dentist mistake has now caused me to have Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity, so I can't have any local enesthetics done anymore as I would not survive that alone... Is it possible to keep on going with just your oral care system and have the enamel regrow enough to not have dentin exposed and the little bit of tooth that was grinded could regtrow to save my teeth? If so, anything else I should do/not do and how long would it take to regorw enough to be safe?
I know a comment from another vid mentioning about himself who used a mouth wash consisting of Celtic salt,colloidal silver and DMSO as mouth wash and rinse it everyday (most likely after he eat) and he applied beef lard to tat particular tooth and sticking to strict diet mostly consisting of meat and mainly sardines. And giving tat site time to heal and grow and remineralize tat tooth over time and within a month he saw a shiny black tooth and slowly with time again tat particular tooth grow anddropping off his filling. Anyways but to u to try but so far he never mentioned what toothpaste he is using but most definitely get rid or minimise ur sugar intake as much as possible
Is swishing with salt water considered good or bad for the mouth microbiome?
Dr. Ellie said in an old blog of hers: "a professor of mine told me years ago - the remedy for almost every dental emergency is to bathe your mouth for fifteen minutes, several times each day, using warm salty water. I think he is correct and this will help most dental problems for a
limited period of time."
However, she meant this as used on a temporary basis, not permanently. She recommends just simply going on her Complete Mouth Care System for improving your oral health and supporting your oral microbiome.
I love your yellow sweater.
I recently started following your four step process. I do have a question though. I understand our mouth has billions of good bacteria and its impact on our health is just beginning to be understood. My question is, will all of the rinsing with the two mouthwashes twice daily get rid of all the good bacteria in my mouth?
Watch Dr. Ellie's 1 1/2 hour full mouth care video. She says it only kills bad bacteria.
She says no. She says oil pulling gets rid of both good and bad bacteria.
I've been doing oil pulling with coconut oil because I was told it helps stop the bad bacteria. Maybe do that to stop the degeneration in the beginning and kill bad bacteria and then start rebuilding the teeth?@@ab78001
Dr. Ellie chooses products that DO NOT get rid of your good bacteria. She purposely avoids products that kill the beneficial bacteria, because she knows that we need that good bacteria in the mouth to protect our teeth and gums.
One of my front teeth is eroding away at the bottom. I thought it was just becoming smoother / wearing down a bit, but it is happening too rapidly. Is this the same as what you are describing? And if so is there a more in depth guide I can follow to stop this process? Thank you
Do u know od biomimetic dentistry? Wats yr view on it ?
Also if like most dentists explain, the infection is at root of d tooth (in xrays d dark grey areas) can wat u say, work? Thanks in advance 🙏
I have a large cavity that is close to the nerve on one of my teeth. My dentist told me that I need a root canal or an extraction, neither of which I can afford. I've had a root canal years ago, and ended up having a lot of issues with abscesses in that spot. Also, I'm afraid that if I were to have an extraction, my teeth would shift and cause more problems long-term. Is it too late to try to rebuild enamel and stop the infection if it's already so close to the nerve?
It sounds as if it is too late. Extractions are not the end of the world. That may be an option - but then get on my system and prevent any more problems or tooth loss in the future. DrEllie.com.
@rlb36 I found a great Dentist who did an extraction w/local anesthesia (tiny injections around the tooth; they didn't hurt) for about $350. An Endodontist will put you to sleep and cost is anywhere from $1500-$1800 in my area.. I had to call alot of Dentists to find one who'd do the extraction w/out sending me to an Endodontist. Ask if you can split payments, or use a credit card if you have one. Waiting can only cause more trouble.
I have been told three times on three different extractions that i would need to fill the space afterwards because the teeth on each side would "shift". The extractions were out of site so did nothing. The first one was 30 years ago and no teeth have ever did the so called "shift".
@@calvinmitchell6381 Teeth with healthy gums that bite into opposiing teeth ( in other words teeth that are in occlusion) do not more. They can't.
do you mean to rinse with Closys after each meal?
No, Closys is used only twice a day, but it is not used all by itself. It is Step 1 of the 4-step at-the-sink protocol you do twice a day.
OraMD, I've been using this stuff to re-mineralize teeth since 2006. I've been cavity-free since then.
How long should I not eat in the afternoon?
Can stanous fluoride help remineralize a cavity that's down to the dentin?
Dr Ellie only recommends sodium fluoride. See her Complete Dental System video.
There is no certain amount of time you should go without eating or drinking in the afternoon; it's just whatever amount of time you can do. The longer the better, so that your saliva will have the longest possible time to interact with your teeth alone, with no food or drink involved. The early afternoon hours are the most important time. After you eat and then use xylitol, you should go a minimum of 1-2 hours or longer with no food or drink.
I read that our saliva production drops significantly when we sleep. Also thats during the time the bacteria is most active and thats how we get cavities. If we always produce salviva at the same high rate then we wouldnt have cavities. Is this true ?
Any replacement for xylitol
Please do demo
Have you considered using garlic for the "neutralizing the cariogenic bacteria" step? Allicin is a potent biological antimicrobial agent.
They say that lacto bacillus salivarius is good?
What's the gum without glycerin mentioned? I looked and it was hard not to find without glycerin.
Her Zellie gums
Can a cavity that's been filled still heal over time with this protocol? I have a filling that's been bothering me and I don't feel great about getting it refilled and I definitely don't feel good about getting a crown (which is what my dentist suggested I do). Oil pulling has helped the discomfort, but I see your protocol says it can disrupt the microbiome of the mouth so it's not necessarily great for the actual healing process.
I’d do whatever helps you until the pain goes away. Maybe then is the time to try out my system of care and see what you think.
Is oil of oregano good or bad for your oral health? I don’t use it for anything related to oral health, but I was wondering if it would be a net gain or a net loss?
Sometimes Oil of Oregano causes a reaction resulting mouth ulcers - be careful!

Guys! Listen to this lady! She knows good info
Don't you think fluoride also interferes with good bacteria?
It is the good fluoride that she recommends, take a look at some of her other videos….
Not all fluoride is the same kind; there are a number of different kinds. Many are harmful. The kind she recommends is sodium fluoride in a very diluted solution and this is the kind in the specific products she recommends.
When it comes to removing tooth bacteria with cloSYS, can you use that in micro cavities in the enamel or is it for bigger ones?
My system works for all sizes and kinds of cavities.
@@dr.elliephillips but does it reverse all cavities
@@jaconnelinley7469 Correct use of xylitol/ Zellies mints will get rid of the underlying mouth infection that caused the cavity/cavities to form. (step one)
The other strategies I teach, these help stop a cavity from progressing.
Then, the more you allow your mouth to naturally heal itself - the more the cavities will reverse. ( This involves giving saliva adequate time to heal your teeth - and you do this by stopping all eating and drinking for an hour after you have had some Zellies/ xylitol mints). If you have 10 hours of healing per day, along with the use of my Complete Mouth Care System - you will get substantial reversal.
The question is, how long have you had this cavity? How big is it? Has it every been filled. If you have had this cavity for 10 years, then it may be too far gone ...but still worth a try. If it has broken down the entire tooth structure, it can still harden up and this will make it easier for the dentist to repair it when you go, but it cannot miraculously fill in all the missing parts of the tooth that have broken away. If it has already been filled or sealed or cut with a dental drill - then this may not work.

How can I heal my broken tooth cavity???
Considering that Apple Cider Vinegar also has a ton of health benefits, how would you continue to take it and not have an acidic reaction in one's mouth?
Use a straw.
Pills, straw will still burn ur throat over time
@@Dom-iz7zz Pills are not ACV. The acid aspect is overexaggerated, little stays on the teeth, it's washed off by saliva. Use a little common sense, and actual science.
@@haraldtheyounger5504 ur the 1 that mentioned straw for teeth. I’m talking about throat. U getting defensive cuz I gave op a second option😂 if that’s how u feel, u should’ve told him that instead of recommending straw. Common sense and science: acv highly acidic and acid bad for teeth🤦♂️
@@haraldtheyounger5504 Dr. Ellie says that straws do not help anything, and that using a straw just ensures that your rear molars will be damaged. There is no way to completely bypass the teeth.
Thanks for your informative video. Can I reverse my molar tooth's cavity and remineralizing/regenerating the tooth even though the cavity is around the root area? That molar has a fiiling done a few years ago but now whenever I eat sugar related food, I feel something on that tooth and sometimes I feel very slight pain. I feel a tiny separation in between the edge of filling and molar when I touch it with my tongue. The center of molar(where the filling is) is a bit hollow due to wearing out over the years. My dentist suggested to get a crown on that tooth now or it will cost more later with root canal.
I'm not sure if the dentist is telling the truth and I'm a little hesitant because it costs too much to get a crown and I'm not sure if I can heal the cavity and regenerate my molar tooth to the normal state.
Would you give some advice?
This is a very clinical question that I cannot give advice about specifically. If you were standing in my office with these symptoms of sensitivity and slight transitional pain, I would suggest you use my Complete Mouth Care System for a few months before we go searching for a solution to that area of your tooth long-term.
If you really work hard to try and reverse the damage, you will at very least halt any progressive disease and likely harden up any previously damaged enamel.
This is useful for the dentist if/ when you finally decide that it is best for you to have a new crown made on this tooth.
No dentist likes to work in a mouth with progressive disease. The enamel is soft and cannot support the design he/she wants to use to place a crown. That's when the nerves get damaged by accident.
Also, if you have plaque, your gums are more likely to bleed and make it difficult to work in this area because it becomes wet from the bleeding.
So, I think you have nothing to loose and everything to gain - even if you end up needing a crown on this tooth as a long-term solution. Then this crown should last you for the rest of your life. Yeah!!!
@@dr.elliephillips Thanks for your reply. I wish I live near you so you can be my dentist and give better advice :). You're right. I'm going to try your method anyway to see if my cavity can heal and regenerate the tooth. At least the method will prevent from getting it worse hopefully. And then I will decide next time I visit my dentist. I don't have gum bleeding or swollen.

Just wondering why you promote Crest and Listerine? Those are not good for you teeth. Crest usually as all kinds of stuff like Flouride and Listerine is very drying for the mouth.
I wonder why you feel baking soda and coconut oil prevent remineralisation 🧐
Marc
@@marcmortiboys6378 Dr. Ellie says that baking soda and coconut oil kill ALL the bacteria in your mouth, both good and bad, but you need the good bacteria in there to protect your teeth and gums.
There are several important uses for both of those products, but neither one should be used all by themselves; they are only supposed to be used as part of the 4-step at-the-sink protocol, in the exact order as Dr. Ellie instructs. Crest strengthens teeth (that is its #1 purpose), and the type of fluoride it contains is a very diluted sodium fluoride, which is not the same kind of fluoride that is in other products that damage teeth. One purpose of Listerine is to rinse the Crest off the teeth (you do not rinse with water in between any of the steps), and also Listerine serves as "liquid flossing" because you do not use string floss or water piks on this program. Also, Listerine contains a few essential oils that work beneficially in the mouth. Listerine is to be immediately followed by the ACT rinse, as Listerine is too acidic to be left on the teeth.
Doesn’t Listerine have alcohol? Very drying and I imagine kills everything, good and bad.
@@SlowmotionSomatics It is only in the mouth for 30-60 seconds and then rinsed off with the ACT that follows it, so drying really wouldn't be an issue. Also, it only kills bad bacteria. It does not kill the beneficial bacteria.
Hello. I had done my 2 fillings. My dentist told me that I have 12 little cavities. It’s need to be done in 6 months. I was overwhelmed. I don’t like this drill I process either. Can you suggest me which product I have to use for reminralization of teeth.
Thank you
DrEllie.com for a free downloadable booklet and information about the products you need to use.
There is also an oral health vido bootcamp where you can learn more about ways to enhance the healing of these cavities.
I encourage you to reverse these cavities and avoid these unnecessary fillings.
You can do it!!!
drEllie.com
I’m pretty anxious as my dentist has told me I need a filling but she can’t confirm if it might become a root canal until after she starts to drill the tooth. I don’t have any toothaches or signs or a cavity visibly on my canine. Can I repair my tooth if it hasn’t reach the pulp but it has reached the dentin?
I can't tell you that from a computer - but I can tell you that if you commit and use my system of care you will stop the disease process.
This is a benefit.
You will also have an impact on stimulating healing - if you keep all drinks and food to mealtimes and use Zellies at the end of all these eating sessions - and then do not eat or drink anything afterward for 1-2 hours.
You also need to use the Complete Mouth Care System last thing at night - and then do not eat or drink anything afterward....so the healing in your mouth can continue while you are sleeping.
DrEllie.com for more information and how to get the necessary products.
You have nothing to loose and everything to gain.
I would not let a dentist mess with a tooth that has no pain or signs of cavity. I'd religiously use this system and get it checked out by a different dentist later.
The dentist I came from usually aren’t so good I remember having to visit diff dentist every Week to a find a good one
How to get the products on the list when we don’t live in the USA ? Don’t you have an alternative list for the UE people ? Please
Ultradex is a product equivalent to Closys and it is available in many parts of the world. Closys is available in Australia and New Zealand so I wonder if it is worth contacting the manufacturing company directly to ask them. A basic sodium fluoride toothpaste may be available - preferably without glycerin. Listerine is usually available. ACT is a 0.05% sodium fluoride rinse - and some countries have access to a rinse called Fluoriguard. ( unfortunately with glycerin in it - but it does work.) It may be difficult to access xylitol but I'm working to try and find a solution for that problem. Another recommendation for you - because it is so difficult to access these specific products. is the use of a Miswak stick. This stick contains natural silica, fluoride and certain plant phytonutrients - and studies show it can promote oral health. I have no long term personal experience with these but the World Health Organization has researched the Miswak and results seem very positive. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04561960
@dr.elliephillips How do you explain stating that enamel remineralizes first and then dentin? Once enamel is theoretically mineralized, occupied with minerals in all areas it lacked, how do other minerals manage to enter dentin afterward?
@galexandra6301 I do believe that the inner part of the tooth has a blood supply.
@@curious1366 she said that saliva does the remineralization.
My dads 67 with full teeth zero cavities. Drinks pop coffee etc, brushes with baking soda, mouth washes once a month or more with peroxide...
Al rest family laughed but hes only one with good teeth. I started now and no more bad teeth
What concentration of hidrogen peroxide did you use for mouthwash? Is it really safe?
Dr Ellie, A new dentist I recently consulted told me I have several cavities. He showed me the bite-wing x-rays and pointed to several dark areas. In your opinion, is it possible to reverse cavities that show up as dark areas on x-rays by diligently following your complete mouthcare system (which I'm doing for the past almost two months)? Thank you!
Yes. These interproximal type of cavities can heal - usually allow 6 months at least. If you can see healing on the next set of x-rays then I beg you not to give up but maybe give your teeth another 6 months to heal completely.
Do you use xylitol after meals and avoid eating and drinking afterward? Very important.
DrEllie.com for more information and my oral health video bootcamp if you need to connect in the future.
@@dr.elliephillips thank you! That is such a relief to hear. Yes I take a xylitol mint immediately after every meal or drink, totalling roughly 6-7gm of xylitol every day. And I avoid eating and drinking for 2-3 hours afterwards, or if I do eat sooner, I immediately take another xylitol mint.
@@ab78001 most of the time cavities are filled to quickly.
If you are not experiencing any sensitivity from these cavities, you have no fear of them progressing.
If you ever begin to feel sensitivity that lasts for longer than two minutes ( for example when you eat sweet things, or cold things ) - then this is when we should talk, or you return to your dentist for a consultation.
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you Dr Ellie. If there IS this kind of sensitivity that you speak of, is it because the bacteria have entered the pulp chamber? I have one molar that has an old composite filling from 25 years ago and this new dentist said it is cracked and there is decay underneath. Sometimes (but not always) I do get sensitivity and mild pain from sweets on that particular molar. Does this mean the filling should be immediately replaced? I've been on your system for almost two months.
@@ab78001 My system does miracles - haha! - but it cannot bring a dead tooth back to life....so, this may be what is happening with your tooth.
If you feel persistent pain it may be worth an X-ray or a trip to see an endodontist and get an assessment of the tooth's vitality ( or lack of it!)
On the other hand, you could just wait and see - now that your mouth is altogether healthier - I think you will soon know what is happening there with that one tooth.
Please keep in touch if you have other questions. Ellie
I reversed a cavity using a flouride free, natural mineralizing toothpaste and rubbing cbd oil on my gums around and on the tooth.
Fluoride is actually toxic! So is bleach.
What brand cbd oil?
Hi! :) what kind or brand of toothpaste did you use? Thanks in advance.
Sounds like some good cocaine you rubbed on your gums
Yes, there is no proof that flouride does anything for the teeth, and it is bad for you health.
This content is very interesting, I just didn't understand the xylitol part, here in Brazil we have xylitol which is like "sugar" is that the same type? thanks
Yes
Hi please tell me tinny black hole cavities cure with only coconut oil and fluriode toothpaste
Dr. Ellie does not recommend using coconut oil in the mouth because it kills ALL the bacteria in your mouth, both good and bad, but you need the good bacteria in there to protect your teeth and gums.
@1:00 - "no glycerin to interfere with the process"... yet the very first ingredient in the Xylitol toothpaste is Vegetable Glycerin.
Sorry, but you are looking at a wrong product that is not recommended. The only toothpaste Dr. Ellie recommends in her system is Crest regular anticavity toothpaste, and it has no glycerin in it. It is also not a xylitol toothpaste.
Ground up eggshell and epsom salt healed mine ! 👍🤩
That is outside of my realm - I have never recommended ground up eggshells but I'm glad it helped you.
What kind of cavities did you have

@@jaconnelinley7469 it was a large cavity in between my back lower molars had been painful one night so I went to the dentist they did x ray showed me cavity and said I needed either an extraction or a root canal. Well I wanted neither and was contemplating what to do when Spirit told me to use eggshell powder it took only two days! For pain to go away and no more sensitivity to hot or cold 👍👍👍🤩
Dr., could you tell me how to identify real Xilitol? I am in Brazil and you can't trust the products here. The Xilitol I am buying here is sold in bulk and when I put it in my mouth it immediately dissolves while the ones I used to get at Whole Foods when I lived in the USA took a little while to dissolve. Thanks and I am your new number 1 fan.
The real thing takes much longer to dissolve than sugar!
@@haraldtheyounger5504 Thank you🌹
When I use plain 100% xylitol granules/crystals, right after I put it in my mouth it begins to dissolve immediately and is totally liquified within the first 10 seconds (I have not timed it; that's just a guess). Now, if you are talking about mints, not plain granules/crystals, then the mint would be held together in a shape and would take much longer to completely dissolve. It just depends on what form of xylitol you are using. Regarding your first question, I would go by a brand name you could trust if you are not sure if you could be getting counterfeit product.

There are some people that actually can't get cavities, (their mouths are not colonized with cariogenic bacteria during their pediatric years, under 6 years old), and since sugar alone does not cause cavities, it's the combination of sugar and cariogenic bacteria that creates the acidic environment that causes tooth decay, they never have to worry about that. (Must be nice.)
Makes you wonder if colonized parents should never kiss their baby on or near their mouth or share utensils, straws, cups, etc, to avoid mixing their saliva with their child's before the age of six. (I suppose this precautionary measure would need to be taken by all relatives, babysitters and close friends as well).
Anyway, most people are introduced to cariogenic bacteria as children, but still some people are more susceptible to tooth decay even if they have the exact same diet and dental hygiene routine as someone who has never had a cavity, so no one should be ashamed, or embarassed if they seem to get cavities no matter what they do.
The best basic advice for everyone is to NEVER use fluoride of any kind, stick to natural tooth cleaning products, use quality dental floss, (string or the equivalent), brush very gently, (all you're doing is disrupting any potential biofilms that are being built on the enamel, like little spider webs, so no force required), and finally, rinse with alkaline water to neutralize your mouth. A ph test is all it takes to deternine the acidity level of your water, (or mouthwash if using). Fiji and evian are both alkaline water, but tap, filtered or distilled water is acidic, so after doing all that work to cleanse the mouth, it makes sense to neutralize the oral environment before going to sleep, (especially for those highly susceptible to dental decay or those trying to stop active decay from progressing).
Think of the dentist as cost benefit, and if possible only go to a natural/biological dentist, (conventional dentists couldn't care less about your wellbeing, health and longevity).
I don't know if it's possible to reverse tooth decay, but it's certainly worth a shot.
