I have been using your system since June of 2024. I had my bottom front tooth and the gum covering it turning gray. Today it is white and gum is pink. The tooth next to it had a chip and it is now gone. I will never stop using your system. I can’t thank you enough!

Thank you Dr Ellie for helping us take better care of our teeth. I’ve been on your program now for about 2 months. I actually enjoy your routine that you suggested. My gums used to bleed a lot and that has stopped. I do have a lot of plaque and looking forward to seeing what the difference my teeth are going to look like in the months to come.

Hi Ellie, just came across your channel and i love that you care about people's health. I've been trying to fix my teeth for a while and the enamel has been cracking badly recently and chipping. I've started using xylitol and nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste and eating xylitol gum. But what can I do about the cracks?
Many older people suffer from misalligned bite. They didnt have the knowledge 20 years ago but thats the #1 thing they look for now and it can be corrected.
i started doing it back in october 2024, i had this massive tooth ache, after reading her book and watching her video i followed her steps prececisly as she says, the results are amazing, the pain is gone, i ditched the sensitive toothpaste that i used for mor ethan 15 years, and i told my gf to do it , and her gum reccesion is gone. it's very effective, almost like witchcraft
My oral health was awful: new cavity or filling replacement at every checkup. I've been using Dr. Ellie's system since June 2023. No treatment required at checkup in October 2024. Young children in my family are using only xylitol everyday: healthy mouths 😊
I would love Dr. Ellie to have funding to run experiments and give us reports like podcast style. I would also love her Dr. Ellie to give us reports on dentistry studies (old and new) I saw the Xylitol one but just in general too, we can discuss them - what is good about them, not so good, what can we take away from what they found or society/the industry for example. That would be awesome - I would just like to understand our bodies more, the intricate chemistry of it etc etc! Very intrigued! 23 years old from East London woop woop! Thanks for opening up my mind when my mind was and is just BUZZING to know, like a cap on a fizzy drink that's been shaked 😂😂! Thanks! Also doing the system, we shall see how this goes 🫶🏾💃🏾😌 Also everyone please share. For others' benefit but also for people to check out this content because who knows, someone might fund some stuff! And we might get that experiment youtube series or whatever it may look like (if Dr. Ellie wants to do it of course)! ❤
Thank you so much for your input - and I am currently talking with a scientist about starting to do some podcasts / YT videos that are more in depth and examine the studies in the way you suggest. I'd love to do this - and although it usually isn't widely popular - I think it would be valuable to thinkers like yourself. Thanks again for the support. You may be interested to know the second -new- edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye will be in bookstores on January 28th 2025 and it can be preordered at Barnes and Noble or Amazon. It is good to show bookstores that this is a valuable resource - and not what the title may suggest :)
@dr.elliephillips awesome!! I look forward to it. I will definitely tune in and share - you'll see, the popularity will increase, I think we are at a time especially as young people and people in general regardless of age, where we just want to understand. School taught us the basics and some of that is fine but alot of it may be wrong or outdated or women weren't included in studies or it is culturally relative. The Internet has been a powerful tool in making us think...ahh no there's more to this and I'm annoyed that I don't know as I feel as though I should😂 also, great, I'll check the book out! 🫶🏾 thank you!!!
DR. Ellie, my gum has been recended due to a crossbite. I never had a problem until I had to put a crown in a molar( first bottom right) i guess it was too high. I corrected the issued but the dentist said. Its not the crown. Is the crossbite. So, im willing to fix my teeth with braces but hoping my gum doesnt recend more😢 please wish me luck and thank you for all your videos!
As a hygienist, I have to get continuing education in order to retain my license. Most of the courses are just courses to sell dental products. It would be great to have courses that we could trust to pass along to our patients. Do you offer any ce courses for Dental Hygienist?
Currently I do not have any courses and I don't try to teach dentists. On the other hand Howard Farran of DentalTown/Hygienetown has recently asked me to contribute and I am also in conversation with a group of minimally invasive dentists who are battling the "system" and trying to bring improved / more preventive dentistry to the world. I'd love to include you on these conversations - as we try to gather as a force for change. The best way to reach me is either through LinkedIn or through the oral health bootcamp at DrEllie.com. You may like the new edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye which will be in bookstores on January 28th. This is completely revised content from the first edition that I wrote over 25 years ago - at I time when I just began to wonder at the goals of American dentistry...LOL!
I studied your system thoroughly in June/July 2024. It is now January 2025. I have followed it to the T- bought Zellies, take them as you suggest, use the EXACT products you recommend, twice a day as you prescribe, brush as you tell us to, even taking your recommended oral probiotic at night with zellies, as you recommend. My teeth are now more stained than before. Suggestions?
It happened to me too! it is the old/pathologic dead biofilm - there is a video where she explains how to brush teeth with xylitol and the recommended toothpaste to remove it. You will be surprised on how white your teeth look!
Dear Mam, If mineral dripping alkaline saliva is the healer here then why can't we use a pinch of Salt instead of Xylitol Granules after meals as it does the same thing by bringing dense flow of saliva into the mouth and raises PH also. (Just asking out of curiosity, no disrespect towards your experience and intellect 🙏) Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
You can try that.of course. I only teach what I know works, and I have only used salt as a mouth rinse used after extractions. I worked under the professor who did a lot of research with xylitol - so I know that this works. I don't think there is research with salt used in this way, at this time.
On this point, I wonder what you have to say about taking some action to keep our mouths closed while we sleep. I've been using a square of tape about double the size of a postage stamp to keep my lips together while sleeping as I happen to have an open mouth otherwise, it really helps my comfort too. Any ideas for keeping the mouth closed overnight?
I have sleep apnea and after a particularly bad night of sleep, with lots of mouth breathing and snorting, I find my morning breath is much worse. My mouth tastes bad.
@@zlorrrrrf - Taping the lips is so common that there are specialty brands with tape shaped like lips. I just use a rectangle of common perforated medical tape that come in small rolls at the supermarket or RiteAid. Cheap, easy, and it works. It does take a bit to get used to, but overall it's great. Do it, a dry mouth is not healthy.
Please do not mouth tape with sleep apnea! It is dangerous! The tape will not stop the obstruction of your airway, it will only make it harder to get oxygen!
@dr.elliephillips my son and I have been doing your mouth care system for months now, but both he and I have developed what looks like brown tartar between our front top teeth. My son even has this same brown tartar between some of his bottom teeth too. We’ve never experienced this until we started your mouth care system. But why?
She has made a video about this, look up the one about staining. It’s basically the bad bacteria dying in the plaque film, it’s a good thing. Yo remove add some xylitol crystals to the toothpaste when you brush and that will help, or you can get a dental cleaning. Just keep using the program you are on the right track.
Hello Dr Ellie! Could you please tell me if your program will work on the teeths that had one or 2 fillings done ? I mean if it will help to protect and prevent the parts of the teeth that were not touched, especially the part of the tooth that is near the filling.
I'm not sure exactly what you want to protect - but my system will help you - yes....I'm sure it will. The only problem for teeth is that my system cannot stop a tooth from dying. Often a nerve is upset by a filling - and then the nerve dies. I am sorry but my filling cannot prevent this from happening at this late stage in the disease process. The sooner we start preventing tooth damage - and the quicker you decide to reverse cavities - the better :)
I just started your system a cpl months ago and Zellies a cpl weeks. I also use Closys to neutralize (mouth ph low) several times a day as well ..Zellies mints are much better than Spry I used while waiting on yours. Much more saliva production and taste better. Xylitol ingredients .5 ea. in both. I wish I’d known about your system years ago!! 😢 I still have to have all removed but is keeping infection down in gums and helps pain. Should I still do this system with implants or modification of? If so how long after extractions, same type toothbrush, Zellies etc? Thank you in advance Dr Ellie 🙏 Unfortunately most dentist will never share this info with us. 😔
I’d begin with the same system - you are so smart to be doing it in advance. Congratulations! You may like the new edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye - in bookstores and online January 28th 2025 as it will help you feel even more empowered. 🙏😁🦷
@@dr.elliephillipsThank you for replying 🙏 I was on waitlist and now reading ‘Mouth Care Comes Clean’ this weekend but will certainly follow up with that next ❤️Just Fyi.. I’ve gone crazy with the ph strips. Not only confirmed my saliva highly acidic. My Pur filtered water I drink all the time 5.8 and bottled ‘alkaline’ was also acidic. No wonder teeth get bad. I asked at UNC Dental School for saliva test over a year ago and was told there wasn’t one🥹
But if you are having chewing gum after you eat then isn’t your saliva produced already in a stage of releasing digestive enzymes? How could it know to switch off digestive enzymes to produce mineral enhancing enzymes then 10 minutes later want to switch back over to digestive enzymes? It doesn’t make sense. I would think chewing that piece of gum for an hour (or whatever) would assist saliva flow & also help remove any bits of left over food caught in the gums? This was my experience.
Stimulated saliva from glands in the roof of your mouth- stimulated by the pull of xylitol - is different from the saliva stimulated by chewing. This is squeezed out of the parotid glands in your cheeks.
Dr. Ellie have YOU heard of the Purple MINERAL Substance that a UA-cam Advertiser is CLAIMING. REGROWS TEETH and HEASL RECEEDING GUMS. Is this a SCAM or a Product YOU would suggest Buying? Please Advise. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! Warmly, Kelly❤
There is a similar product they sell in the UK. I forgot what it’s called. She mentions it in a few of her videos. It may be mentioned on her website, too. I imagine that product would be a lot cheaper for you to get in Italy. EDIT: Oh yeah, it’s called UltraDEX.
Hi. The news lately has discussed the association of even mild alcohol ingestion with cancers. Would you recommend a shorter rinse with the Listerine in your oral health program or maybe an alternate day use, if at all? Should I be using it if I don't have bad breath (the kind that could make the chrome fall off a towel rack)?
I suffer from chronic acidity due to anxiety....and am recently having two cavities for first time in my 33yrs life...Would Xylitol still help with the cavities considering the fact that I have chronic stomach acidity...?? 😥
@@brutaltruth3125 yes.. I have same. Zellies are excellent for.. I just started them cpl weeks ago and they’re helping to neutralize my stomach acidity. 🙏
I'm considering buying Ellie's complete mouth care system kit, but I don't know how long the products last. Can anyone tell me, will it last a week, a month, two months or what? Thanks
If you have a dead or almost dead tooth. It is the nerve in the center of the tooth that gives a tooth "life" and this nerve is surrounded by blood vessels and liquids. If the nerve dies, and this central area gets infected - this sets up a bad situation. Cleaning out this area is what a root canal treatment does - but always see an endodontic specialist for this work.
Hi Dr Ellie , Thank you so much for the advice you gave me early last year but now in the Uk Listerine cool mint is not there the one that is available is not written ‘antiseptic’ , same applies to the original , are there other alternatives ?
My 20 year old daughter started on your mouth care system about 3 months ago. Her dentist recently noticed she has developed leukoplakia on the bottom edges of her tongue. We are wondering if something in the products is causing this. Do you have any advice on how to get rid of it?
Please help me. I have two cracked front teeth: one has a horizontal crack, and the other was described by my dentist as superficial. However, it sometimes gives me throbbing pain that is not constant but still hurts to some extent. It’s not unbearable, but it’s definitely painful, and I am scared because I care a lot about my teeth. Can your system help me prevent nerve inflammation? Also, I have a front tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment. Is there a way to prevent it from discoloring?
Have been following the Total Mouth Care system for 3 months. I have always had gum issues since I was a young kid and have gum pockets around my implants. Just came back from my periodontist for a dental cleaning yesterday and he stated the gum pocket got larger 5 mm to 7 mm. He prescribed me antibiotics to use in my WaterPik at the lowest setting. Do you think this is good?
Hello honourable I'm on my first week of your cmcs and i notice that daily my teeth look more yellowish idk why Have xylitol granule Crest plus toothpaste with 0.05 sodium fluoride Listerine cool mint ACT with 0.05 fluoride I brush twice a day and do not rinse with water between steps and even after step too Is there anything you can tell me why I'm experiencing this i have never had yellow stain on my tooth it looks like inspite of strengthen the enamel it weekens my enamel.... I have used xylitol and toothpaste that works good but when I added mouthwash then the problem started mainly on front tooth of upoer and lower Do your system takes time to show result or it just creating problem Hope you answer ❤ Hope you answer
Hello, I was hoping I could be direct and save some time. I really would like to be able to have a 30 minute paid phone consult with you for an informal, non-medical discussion.. I like your videos and books, but with my situation I would benefit much more from a more individual discussion. There’s no need to cover any basics-I’m already familiar with your work and so we could focus directly on my main points of discussion. I hope to hear from you.
All i did was start doing listerine and my mouth is getting better every day! Plaque that i couldn't pick off is coming off easily now with pink gums. Thx!😁
Please do not just do Listerine only! Dr Ellie says it is acidic, so you need to follow it with Act mouthwash to get rid of the acidity or in time it will damage teeth. The whole program works together. ❤
@@Divya_gondShe does not recommend that, nor rinsing with water at any point of the mouth care system. Water will dilute and counteract the beneficial effects.
Is the closys healthy teeth ok to use? I am not sure if that woukd be the same as the healthy gums one. Can I use the X-pur opti-rinse plus 0.05 the blue one instead of ACT?
X-pur is a good product, my hygienist recommended it. But I find a toothpaste Cario (with xylitol) from the same brand does the best job. The products recommended by Dr. Ellie unfortunately provoked the strong sensitivity for my teeth. Cario and mouth resting do work much better.
Hlo doctor can you provide a quick suggestion my mom had root canal for 16 teeth 4 each from top, bottom, left and right at once back of the mouth and 2 of her teeth are removed at back from start too she is having severe pain and met multiple doctors no change and also had her caps removed from right side both top and bottom and replaced them due to severe pain and now she is constantly in pain and visited multiple doctors no change all checked and had taken multiple scans and the doctors told that the root canal is good. So cope with pain and gave tablets and they are not working at all she is constantly in pain cant even drink or eat properly and feels as if her jaw is lowering and her tongue is black all of a sudden and becomes normal. Tell any suggestion to atleast reduce pain.
Listerine has been really burning the tip of my tongue. It doesn't seem like it will get better. No where else is sensitive,. Now tip of tongue is sensitive and numb all day. Should i keep using Listerine? I tried just a few seconds but the tip burns
I would ensure you have ALL the correct products. How long are you mouth resting after the xylitol. What flavor xylitol do you use - and are you chewing gum or mints? The gum should only be chewed for 2-10 minutes. if you are using cinnamon - and using it for the first time - that can be the issue. i doubt it is the Listerine.
@dr.elliephillips I am using the exact products you recommend for your kit. None of the off brands, everything exactly as you say. I'm not using gum, I'm using the zellie mints, spearmint flavor. About 8-10 times daily. I only rest rest the times a day and eat 2 mints after I eat. Then once it twice later one.
@@timothy1008 Not if you want results - better to shorten and figure out what is going on - I do not think it is the Listerine. Do you have cinnamon xylitol perhaps? Do you chew the gum or mints? How long are you using the Listerine. You should have toothpaste residue on your teeth as you start - and then just rinse for a couple of seconds. The length of time you use the ACT should match the Listerine....so shorten this too.
@@reem_1668 My system will ARREST the disease process - (which is the caries). Then my system will harden up the dentin and enamel. The amount of healing - and complete repair - depends on the shape of the cavity and also on the angle of the cavity to the tooth surface.
@@dr.elliephillips does hardening up the enamel and dentin cause whitening around the cavity? Another thing I want to add is ; would you please share with us a scenario or multiple scenarios in which you describe the tooth that would heal and repair completely compared to the the tooth that has less chances?

Many older people suffer from misalligned bite. They didnt have the knowledge 20 years ago but thats the #1 thing they look for now and it can be corrected.
A bad diet will cause that. Also vaccines could.
I would do either Weston A Price diet, Raw primal diet, or something similar.
Dr.Ellie one humble and genuine request pls start selling your products in India pls🙏🏻
At this time, products can't be shipped internationally. Hopefully in the future!
Please share your experiences with Ellie Phillips system. Thank you!
i started doing it back in october 2024, i had this massive tooth ache, after reading her book and watching her video i followed her steps prececisly as she says, the results are amazing, the pain is gone, i ditched the sensitive toothpaste that i used for mor ethan 15 years, and i told my gf to do it , and her gum reccesion is gone. it's very effective, almost like witchcraft
My oral health was awful: new cavity or filling replacement at every checkup. I've been using Dr. Ellie's system since June 2023. No treatment required at checkup in October 2024.
Young children in my family are using only xylitol everyday: healthy mouths 😊
Thanks for the great hints of mouth care system, unfortunately I can't find the product in my country. I live in Indonesia.
Thank you! 💖
I would love Dr. Ellie to have funding to run experiments and give us reports like podcast style. I would also love her Dr. Ellie to give us reports on dentistry studies (old and new) I saw the Xylitol one but just in general too, we can discuss them - what is good about them, not so good, what can we take away from what they found or society/the industry for example. That would be awesome - I would just like to understand our bodies more, the intricate chemistry of it etc etc! Very intrigued!
23 years old from East London woop woop! Thanks for opening up my mind when my mind was and is just BUZZING to know, like a cap on a fizzy drink that's been shaked 😂😂! Thanks! Also doing the system, we shall see how this goes 🫶🏾💃🏾😌
Also everyone please share. For others' benefit but also for people to check out this content because who knows, someone might fund some stuff! And we might get that experiment youtube series or whatever it may look like (if Dr. Ellie wants to do it of course)! ❤
Thank you so much for your input - and I am currently talking with a scientist about starting to do some podcasts / YT videos that are more in depth and examine the studies in the way you suggest. I'd love to do this - and although it usually isn't widely popular - I think it would be valuable to thinkers like yourself. Thanks again for the support.
You may be interested to know the second -new- edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye will be in bookstores on January 28th 2025 and it can be preordered at Barnes and Noble or Amazon. It is good to show bookstores that this is a valuable resource - and not what the title may suggest :)
@dr.elliephillips awesome!! I look forward to it. I will definitely tune in and share - you'll see, the popularity will increase, I think we are at a time especially as young people and people in general regardless of age, where we just want to understand. School taught us the basics and some of that is fine but alot of it may be wrong or outdated or women weren't included in studies or it is culturally relative. The Internet has been a powerful tool in making us think...ahh no there's more to this and I'm annoyed that I don't know as I feel as though I should😂 also, great, I'll check the book out! 🫶🏾 thank you!!!
DR. Ellie, my gum has been recended due to a crossbite. I never had a problem until I had to put a crown in a molar( first bottom right) i guess it was too high. I corrected the issued but the dentist said. Its not the crown. Is the crossbite. So, im willing to fix my teeth with braces but hoping my gum doesnt recend more😢 please wish me luck and thank you for all your videos!
l wish you could make a video about intrinsic stains on teeth and how to make them go away. Please
As a hygienist, I have to get continuing education in order to retain my license. Most of the courses are just courses to sell dental products. It would be great to have courses that we could trust to pass along to our patients. Do you offer any ce courses for Dental Hygienist?
Currently I do not have any courses and I don't try to teach dentists.
On the other hand Howard Farran of DentalTown/Hygienetown has recently asked me to contribute and I am also in conversation with a group of minimally invasive dentists who are battling the "system" and trying to bring improved / more preventive dentistry to the world.
I'd love to include you on these conversations - as we try to gather as a force for change.
The best way to reach me is either through LinkedIn or through the oral health bootcamp at DrEllie.com.

This is completely revised content from the first edition that I wrote over 25 years ago - at I time when I just began to wonder at the goals of American dentistry...LOL!
I studied your system thoroughly in June/July 2024. It is now January 2025. I have followed it to the T- bought Zellies, take them as you suggest, use the EXACT products you recommend, twice a day as you prescribe, brush as you tell us to, even taking your recommended oral probiotic at night with zellies, as you recommend. My teeth are now more stained than before. Suggestions?
It happened to me too! it is the old/pathologic dead biofilm - there is a video where she explains how to brush teeth with xylitol and the recommended toothpaste to remove it. You will be surprised on how white your teeth look!
How much xylitol granules to take?
A tiny amount at the end of meals.
1/5th of a teaspoon.
If you use mints - each mint is 0.5 grams and i recommend 2 mints after meals = 1 gram
Dear Mam,
If mineral dripping alkaline saliva is the healer here then why can't we use a pinch of Salt instead of Xylitol Granules after meals as it does the same thing by bringing dense flow of saliva into the mouth and raises PH also.
(Just asking out of curiosity, no disrespect towards your experience and intellect 🙏)
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
You can try that.of course.
I only teach what I know works, and I have only used salt as a mouth rinse used after extractions.
I worked under the professor who did a lot of research with xylitol - so I know that this works.
I don't think there is research with salt used in this way, at this time.
@dr.elliephillips Thank you for the reply. I was just asking out of curiosity, rest i am quite happy with xylitol and will stick to it 🤗
Tongue & cheek: doe this mean I am nt allowed to KISS my wife any longer??
On this point, I wonder what you have to say about taking some action to keep our mouths closed while we sleep. I've been using a square of tape about double the size of a postage stamp to keep my lips together while sleeping as I happen to have an open mouth otherwise, it really helps my comfort too. Any ideas for keeping the mouth closed overnight?
I have sleep apnea and after a particularly bad night of sleep, with lots of mouth breathing and snorting, I find my morning breath is much worse. My mouth tastes bad.
@@zlorrrrrf - Taping the lips is so common that there are specialty brands with tape shaped like lips. I just use a rectangle of common perforated medical tape that come in small rolls at the supermarket or RiteAid. Cheap, easy, and it works. It does take a bit to get used to, but overall it's great. Do it, a dry mouth is not healthy.
Please do not mouth tape with sleep apnea! It is dangerous! The tape will not stop the obstruction of your airway, it will only make it harder to get oxygen!
@dr.elliephillips my son and I have been doing your mouth care system for months now, but both he and I have developed what looks like brown tartar between our front top teeth. My son even has this same brown tartar between some of his bottom teeth too. We’ve never experienced this until we started your mouth care system. But why?
May your happiness know no bounds. I hope you and your family are doing well. May your day be filled with happiness and joy... Stay safe
She has made a video about this, look up the one about staining. It’s basically the bad bacteria dying in the plaque film, it’s a good thing. Yo remove add some xylitol crystals to the toothpaste when you brush and that will help, or you can get a dental cleaning. Just keep using the program you are on the right track.
@@MrWambammam Okay, will do. My sons have a tooth cleaning this week. I was going to cancel it, but will keep it now. Thanks
Same here
@@LauraPecina Hi 👋
How do slow or stop saliva couldn’t talk
Now I repaired my voice the throat is being healed with old Chinese herbs
Madrew got your book and mints
I cannot get Act in europ. Can you recommend a substitute?
Hello Dr Ellie! Could you please tell me if your program will work on the teeths that had one or 2 fillings done ? I mean if it will help to protect and prevent the parts of the teeth that were not touched, especially the part of the tooth that is near the filling.
I'm not sure exactly what you want to protect - but my system will help you - yes....I'm sure it will.
The only problem for teeth is that my system cannot stop a tooth from dying.
Often a nerve is upset by a filling - and then the nerve dies.
I am sorry but my filling cannot prevent this from happening at this late stage in the disease process.
The sooner we start preventing tooth damage - and the quicker you decide to reverse cavities - the better :)
@@dr.elliephillips I understand. Thank you for your response!
I was wondering if it was the decay that was causing issues to others?
Is this compatible with terrain theory?
I just started your system a cpl months ago and Zellies a cpl weeks. I also use Closys to neutralize (mouth ph low) several times a day as well ..Zellies mints are much better than Spry I used while waiting on yours. Much more saliva production and taste better. Xylitol ingredients .5 ea. in both. I wish I’d known about your system years ago!! 😢 I still have to have all removed but is keeping infection down in gums and helps pain. Should I still do this system with implants or modification of? If so how long after extractions, same type toothbrush, Zellies etc? Thank you in advance Dr Ellie 🙏 Unfortunately most dentist will never share this info with us. 😔
I’d begin with the same system - you are so smart to be doing it in advance. Congratulations!
You may like the new edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye - in bookstores and online January 28th 2025 as it will help you feel even more empowered. 🙏😁🦷
@@dr.elliephillipsThank you for replying 🙏 I was on waitlist and now reading ‘Mouth Care Comes Clean’ this weekend but will certainly follow up with that next ❤️Just Fyi.. I’ve gone crazy with the ph strips. Not only confirmed my saliva highly acidic. My Pur filtered water I drink all the time 5.8 and bottled ‘alkaline’ was also acidic. No wonder teeth get bad. I asked at UNC Dental School for saliva test over a year ago and was told there wasn’t one🥹
Please help. I just bought it all. How should I use it? Just by packet directions or a particular tooth ritual? 😅
But if you are having chewing gum after you eat then isn’t your saliva produced already in a stage of releasing digestive enzymes?
How could it know to switch off digestive enzymes to produce mineral enhancing enzymes then 10 minutes later want to switch back over to digestive enzymes? It doesn’t make sense.
I would think chewing that piece of gum for an hour (or whatever) would assist saliva flow & also help remove any bits of left over food caught in the gums? This was my experience.
Stimulated saliva from glands in the roof of your mouth- stimulated by the pull of xylitol - is different from the saliva stimulated by chewing. This is squeezed out of the parotid glands in your cheeks.
Dr. Ellie have YOU heard of the Purple MINERAL Substance that
a UA-cam Advertiser is CLAIMING. REGROWS TEETH and HEASL RECEEDING GUMS.
Is this a SCAM or a Product YOU would suggest Buying?
Please Advise.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
Warmly,

Dr how to use xylitol granules im in india here i had no access to xylitol gums kindly share right way to use it
Here in Italy order closys is like order an old good bottle of rum, it s very expensive 😢
There is a similar product they sell in the UK. I forgot what it’s called. She mentions it in a few of her videos. It may be mentioned on her website, too. I imagine that product would be a lot cheaper for you to get in Italy.
EDIT: Oh yeah, it’s called UltraDEX.
@xxpowwowbluexx Bless you 🙏. Thank you very much for this info.
Hi. The news lately has discussed the association of even mild alcohol ingestion with cancers. Would you recommend a shorter rinse with the Listerine in your oral health program or maybe an alternate day use, if at all?
Should I be using it if I don't have bad breath (the kind that could make the chrome fall off a towel rack)?
You don't swallow Listerine, do you?
"Mild ingestion" is not the same as "microscopic absorption"
I suffer from chronic acidity due to anxiety....and am recently having two cavities for first time in my 33yrs life...Would Xylitol still help with the cavities considering the fact that I have chronic stomach acidity...?? 😥
Non sequitur. Stomach acid is about your diet, probably overeating.
@@johnsmith1474 No, this is happening to me becoz I suffer from Anxiety...I am having healthy food in limited portions...😥
@@brutaltruth3125 yes.. I have same. Zellies are excellent for.. I just started them cpl weeks ago and they’re helping to neutralize my stomach acidity. 🙏
@brutaltruth3125 you should use xylitol in some kind of form and get your saliva ph to around 7. It works 😊
I'm considering buying Ellie's complete mouth care system kit, but I don't know how long the products last. Can anyone tell me, will it last a week, a month, two months or what? Thanks
The only Crest toothpaste I can find is Crest Cavity Protection Plus, with Sodium Fluoride 0.243% (0.15% w/v fluoride iron). Same as you recommend?
Yes, that is the exact same as she is requested for people to use.
@ Thank you
yes is the same.
@@monoracional hey how much time it will take to reverse cavity
@@monoracional thank you
In what scenarios does one need root canal...??
If you have a dead or almost dead tooth.
It is the nerve in the center of the tooth that gives a tooth "life" and this nerve is surrounded by blood vessels and liquids.
If the nerve dies, and this central area gets infected - this sets up a bad situation.
Cleaning out this area is what a root canal treatment does - but always see an endodontic specialist for this work.
@@dr.elliephillips Okay....does a half broken molar needs a root canal...??
@@brutaltruth3125 Probably....
@@dr.elliephillips okay...I am going for a treatment so what kind of crown do you suggest...??
@ gold is ideal - but it’s very expensive
Hello Dr 🙏🙏I am Indian but we live in Dallas . Dr said for my 15 years old son root canal we are very stressful what we should .Please reply Dr Ellie
Hi Dr Ellie , Thank you so much for the advice you gave me early last year but now in the Uk Listerine cool mint is not there the one that is available is not written ‘antiseptic’ , same applies to the original , are there other alternatives ?
I don't know - but you could ask the company if this is the same product.
@ Thank you , much appreciated
Why or how, does xylitol stimulate saliva production?
@@tsx3214 it’s HYGROSCOPIC - it pulls “liquids” to itself. Great question! 🦷🥳
My 20 year old daughter started on your mouth care system about 3 months ago. Her dentist recently noticed she has developed leukoplakia on the bottom edges of her tongue. We are wondering if something in the products is causing this. Do you have any advice on how to get rid of it?
Your dentist should, that's what this is, dental science, not magic or religion.
Please help me. I have two cracked front teeth: one has a horizontal crack, and the other was described by my dentist as superficial. However, it sometimes gives me throbbing pain that is not constant but still hurts to some extent. It’s not unbearable, but it’s definitely painful, and I am scared because I care a lot about my teeth. Can your system help me prevent nerve inflammation? Also, I have a front tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment. Is there a way to prevent it from discoloring?
You need to see a dentist to check on your root canal tooth- bit my system will help you. DrEllie.com
Do xylitol made us thinner?
Have been following the Total Mouth Care system for 3 months.
I have always had gum issues since I was a young kid and have gum pockets around my implants.
Just came back from my periodontist for a dental cleaning yesterday and he stated the gum pocket got larger 5 mm to 7 mm. He prescribed me antibiotics to use in my WaterPik at the lowest setting.
Do you think this is good?
Hello honourable
I'm on my first week of your cmcs and i notice that daily my teeth look more yellowish idk why
Have xylitol granule
Crest plus toothpaste with 0.05 sodium fluoride
Listerine cool mint
ACT with 0.05 fluoride
I brush twice a day and do not rinse with water between steps and even after step too
Is there anything you can tell me why I'm experiencing this i have never had yellow stain on my tooth it looks like inspite of strengthen the enamel it weekens my enamel....
I have used xylitol and toothpaste that works good but when I added mouthwash then the problem started mainly on front tooth of upoer and lower
Do your system takes time to show result or it just creating problem
Hope you answer ❤
Hope you answer
Hello, I was hoping I could be direct and save some time. I really would like to be able to have a 30 minute paid phone consult with you for an informal, non-medical discussion.. I like your videos and books, but with my situation I would benefit much more from a more individual discussion. There’s no need to cover any basics-I’m already familiar with your work and so we could focus directly on my main points of discussion. I hope to hear from you.
All i did was start doing listerine and my mouth is getting better every day! Plaque that i couldn't pick off is coming off easily now with pink gums. Thx!😁
Please do not just do Listerine only! Dr Ellie says it is acidic, so you need to follow it with Act mouthwash to get rid of the acidity or in time it will damage teeth. The whole program works together. ❤
@@R-hm4ic You should try at least using correct toothpaste and then rinse Listerine off with ACT. MOUTHWATCHERS brushes are a game changer too.
@@dr.elliephillips can I wash my mouth with water after act
@@Divya_gondShe does not recommend that, nor rinsing with water at any point of the mouth care system. Water will dilute and counteract the beneficial effects.
@@RenSilverstar so not even after ACT and what about after rinsing half a. Hour or should I start eating After ACT like after half an hour
Is the closys healthy teeth ok to use? I am not sure if that woukd be the same as the healthy gums one. Can I use the X-pur opti-rinse plus 0.05 the blue one instead of ACT?
no, she is very specific on the product.
@monoracional oh ok thank you
X-pur is a good product, my hygienist recommended it. But I find a toothpaste Cario (with xylitol) from the same brand does the best job. The products recommended by Dr. Ellie unfortunately provoked the strong sensitivity for my teeth. Cario and mouth resting do work much better.
@@natalyasherstova483 thank you!
From India many times I asked pls let me know which xylitol available in india we should use pls max products are not available here .
How can you help women who taking bio identical hormones and fight bad breath constantly.
Hlo doctor can you provide a quick suggestion my mom had root canal for 16 teeth 4 each from top, bottom, left and right at once back of the mouth and 2 of her teeth are removed at back from start too she is having severe pain and met multiple doctors no change and also had her caps removed from right side both top and bottom and replaced them due to severe pain and now she is constantly in pain and visited multiple doctors no change all checked and had taken multiple scans and the doctors told that the root canal is good. So cope with pain and gave tablets and they are not working at all she is constantly in pain cant even drink or eat properly and feels as if her jaw is lowering and her tongue is black all of a sudden and becomes normal.
Tell any suggestion to atleast reduce pain.
Listerine has been really burning the tip of my tongue. It doesn't seem like it will get better. No where else is sensitive,. Now tip of tongue is sensitive and numb all day. Should i keep using Listerine? I tried just a few seconds but the tip burns
I would ensure you have ALL the correct products.
How long are you mouth resting after the xylitol.
What flavor xylitol do you use - and are you chewing gum or mints?
The gum should only be chewed for 2-10 minutes.
if you are using cinnamon - and using it for the first time - that can be the issue.
i doubt it is the Listerine.
@dr.elliephillips I am using the exact products you recommend for your kit. None of the off brands, everything exactly as you say. I'm not using gum, I'm using the zellie mints, spearmint flavor. About 8-10 times daily.
I only rest rest the times a day and eat 2 mints after I eat. Then once it twice later one.
@@dr.elliephillips Is it possible to skip the listening and still get the benefits? Tip of my tongue seems numb ever since I've started this
@@timothy1008 Not if you want results - better to shorten and figure out what is going on - I do not think it is the Listerine.
Do you have cinnamon xylitol perhaps?
Do you chew the gum or mints?
How long are you using the Listerine. You should have toothpaste residue on your teeth as you start - and then just rinse for a couple of seconds. The length of time you use the ACT should match the Listerine....so shorten this too.
@@timothy1008 Cut down the time...just shorten up the final two rinses - really short for a few days.
Can a broken tooth regrow...???
@@brutaltruth3125 A cut or broken tooth cannot regrow
@@dr.elliephillips can a cavity full of caries regrow and heal ?
@@reem_1668 My system will ARREST the disease process - (which is the caries).
Then my system will harden up the dentin and enamel.
The amount of healing - and complete repair - depends on the shape of the cavity and also on the angle of the cavity to the tooth surface.
@@dr.elliephillips does hardening up the enamel and dentin cause whitening around the cavity?
Another thing I want to add is ; would you please share with us a scenario or multiple scenarios in which you describe the tooth that would heal and repair completely compared to the the tooth that has less chances?
I see the the you mentioned some risk factors I would appreciate it if redirected me for further information/article/blog post about it.
Thank you very much
I noticed after I take a xylitol mint i get pretty darn thirsty. Then I'm not supposed to drink anything. So I try to remember to drink as much as I can before it...
The two are not related, you are probably overreacting to thirst because you have on your mind that you are not supposed to drink for a while.
No kissing geez sounds like the c19 crap
Ridiculous

Sadly your system utilizes toxic ingredients. There are much better products that can do the same thing without the toxic ingredients.
As you simply drop a threat without backing it up, in a lazy and irresponsible manner, you're gonna get ignored.
I would be curious to know which alternative products are available? Is there a better mouth wash than Listerine for this purpose? Genuine question.
@@johnsmith1474awe. Did I trigger you? There is a big difference between na threat and the truth. Research might be a great way to actually learn something
@@zlorrrrrfsure. Heart Tone Botanicals from florida. I love the mouthwash and toothpaste. That’s all I need and getting great checkups. I still lightly floss and clean my tongue
The product you recommend probably don't even contain sodium fluoride which is what's needed to strengthen teeth. "Natural" toothpastes ruined my teeth and gave me tons of cavities.
