I end up trying out Xylitol gum for 30 days!! It works wonders for my oral health and I think I know the reason why Xylitol pulling didn't work in this experiment (Xylitol is efficient in the early bacteria growth stages, not later). Xylitol gum video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6ulqremsN65l6s.html

I’ve learned that oil pulling with cold pressed hexane free castor oil is way more efficient than oil pulling with unrefined coconut oil. Two minutes with castor oil. I couldn’t stand the coconut oil taste in my mouth after a while. I barely oil pull now. I use calcium bentonite clay powder, to brush my teeth. It’s great! My teeth are so much whiter than usual. All the stains from behind my teeth are gone. I drink coffee every day! My teeth feel way cleaner; and aren’t feeling dirty as fast as in the past. I got a two pound container for $20. You can eat this to detox; by adding it to drinking water. Don’t use metal spoons, bowls or cups, with the bentonite. Thanks for your video! Isn’t xylitol a sugar substitute???🤔

I ended up making my own xylitol candies with whatever flavour I like that I can get my hands on - admittedly not sure whether the flavour compounds might be affecting the mouth, though. My candies require only xylitol, liquid flavouring, a cooking pot, a spatula and a silicone candy mold - I prefer the semi-spherical kind people apparently use for making homemade kibble or cookie drops, because they make small enough candies that demould much more easily than fully spherical moulds. Xylitol is an endothermic compound that can dissolve in an incredibly small amount of water as long as you keep providing it with heat. It is also significantly more voluminous when hot in solution than once set back to crystal, a bit akin to candle wax (except the candle wax is molten, not in solution). So to make the candy fill your mould with the granular xylitol, to get the volume of xylitol that will roughly fit in your mould, then empty this over into the pot and add a teaspoon of your flavouring. Heat it on low heat. You will notice it dissolving as it heats despite the tiny amount of liquid and you will need to stir (with the aforementioned spatula, but I guess you can use any stirring device you prefer). You might end up needing to add more flavour to dissolve it all (or just for taste preference), but don't add much more because as the xylitol crystallizes it will expulse the flavour and so if you have too much flavour inside your candies then they will crumble to pieces. Once all the xylitol is dissolved, pour the mixture back into the mould and use the spatula to scrape any of the mixture that hasn't made it into holes into holes. You won't be able to get it all into the holes at first because of the aforementioned higher volume of hot dissolved xylitol. Here I usually leave for 5-10 minutes (or 30, depending on the weather) and then scrape the remainder into the holes, which should still be containing liquid. You will notice that the xylitol starts crystallizing from the bottom, making the top the most stained with the flavour and potentially significantly crumbly. If crumbly: use less flavour next time, or throw it all back in the pot, reheat on low, allow some water to evaporate and then pour it into the mould again. I love the control I have over what flavour candy I can make with this, candies I could never find in store AND they're mouth healthy! I recommend going to a specialty baking store to find the most amazing flavours that most stores wouldn't find profitable enough to spend shelf space on. Some cultural food stores might also carry special flavours more common "back home"

Add xylitol mints after eating or drinking anything. You can buy them in 1 kg bags. The reason the saliva works is because it contains the minerals that remineralize your teeth including underneath the gums .. over time, gum health improves as well. Norway has a long-standing school dental program where children receive xylitol mints after the school lunch. It cut down cavities in school children dramatically. Xylitol comes from birch sap and Norway is known for folklore medicines using birch extracts.

It's awesome to see more people getting into xylitol pulling; I first talked about it over 5 years ago! When you use xylitol, you might notice some build-up because it makes you produce more saliva. This is actually a good sign as it helps balance the bacteria in your mouth. But, when you feel your mouth is super clean after using coconut oil, it might be too much of a good thing, since you're also getting rid of the good bacteria your mouth needs. It's all about finding the right balance. I noticed that with xylitol, even though there's more build-up at first, it usually means your mouth is getting healthier. Your mouth shouldn't feel too clean because having some bacteria is important. Have you thought about comparing what happens in your mouth after using coconut oil for a while versus using xylitol? It could be really interesting to see how each affects the health of your mouth. As a dental hygienist and oral health coach this has been something that I have been working on for years and years :)

I'm finding oil pulling not as pleasant as xylitol pulling. Xylito is making my teeth very smooth feeling. Plus I love that it's convenient to carry around with me and also I can occasionally use it as a sweetner and put in stuff I'm baking I don't use much and I love the fact that I can just spit it out into toilet or sink without having to worry about it clogging up. I suffer from dry mouth. I used to suffer from dry mouth and it really helps out with that and it helps out too with cavities I hear. I think it might be better at building gums since it doesn't destroy all baterial.

I do oil pulling generally every other day and I also use xylitol daily. I don't think I would compare them or necessarily do xylitol pulling. I just swish a little bit mixed with water around in my mouth right after a meal And then weight a half hour to an hour to actually brush your teeth. This changes the PH of your mouth back to a heathy number, and helps your enamel. And I noticed my gums are WAY less sensitive after doing it for about a year, and it's super easy just to swish it out after a meal...

I make a toothpaste with colloidal silver, coconut oil, baking soda, (food grade diatomaceous, zeolite, and bentonite earths), zylitol, and essential oils* such as clove, rosemary, tea tree, and peppermint. I use equal parts(usually one teaspoon of each ingredient) of all the dry ingredients and mix the dry ingredients by putting them in a covered bowl giving them a good shake for about 30 seconds, with a spoon to mix I add the 1tablespoon colloidal silver and and mix well Then I add the coconut oil using enough to to make a paste lastly, I add a few drops of whatever essential oil* I want. I keep mine in a covered bowl and have a small spoon inside(the one i use is a sample spoon like the have in ice cream shops to give a taste). I take out a small amount and put it into the palm of my hand and dip my tooth brush into it. I make small batches and it last 2 people about 2 months. *I like to use essential oils that have antimicrobial properties my personal favorite in tea tree oil.

Hi, i sent you a comment today on a different video of yours suggesting that you check out ellie phillips. Then i saw that you already had done that, and you had a video on her. I thought your video was balanced and represented a sincere desire to be objective. Also basically i agreed with the points that you made. The things i would like to add are that basically she presents her approach as something that people can use who already have problems with cavities, halitosis, and gum recession, not as something that everyone needs to do. Also, regarding the cost of her method , she makes it clear that you can get all the products yourself in a pharmacy or supermarket. Most of them are products that people already use anyhow (crest, listerine, manual toothbrush). And you don’t need to get floss or an electric toothbrush or go to the dentist, so most people would probably be saving money. Actually, she makes it pretty clear that the only thing you really need to do is to take any form of xylitol five times a day at about a gram each time, and you will be 90% likely to completely clean up your mouth, even without brushing, etc. However it would take several years, and during that time you would still be getting cavities, etc., if you don’t brush and rinse. All the necessary information is available on her youtube channel and her website, including a free download. It is not necessary to get her book, which costs $11 on amazon, or get any of the other things which cost money, including the kit or the boot camp.

I like that coconut oil and pearl powder being alkaline and old remedies that counter the acidity of toothpaste and Listerine. I think most of the problems come from a too acidic environment in the mouth from eating not the right foods.

I've tried a number of things over the years to improve the health of gums and teeth. Then, as of late 2023, I discovered Xylotol and how it works. Switched to that. Results have been stunning. I no longer need a root canal the dentist prescribed. Sensitivity is gone. 3-5 minutes, with no food or drink for one hour after, is all you really need. And I don't need a whole teaspoon; 1/4 teaspoon works fine, twice a day, since it takes 12 hours for those bad bacteria to colonize and take hold. It seems this one 3-lb. bag of Xlear Zylo Sweet will also last me for close to nine months, and it was not expensive. I have ditched the oil completely. This works better for me and costs less. It's also more convenient - swish/pull, spit, and portable as well. I think of it as my after-dinner mint now, since it's kind of like having a little dessert in your mouth (if you have a sweet tooth anyway).

Dr. Ellie Phillips protocol with xylitol is very good. Just use the xylitol after meals and the last step in tooth brushing routine. So instead of "pulling", a shorter swish after meals or beverages is what you'd do. Or use her mints or gum. It's a good system that keeps my teeth feeling very clean.

Is the xylitol to be used immediately after the last step?

@@mabbas6479 , yes, sort of. No rinsing in-between. First use closys, then brush with crest, then rinse with Listerine, then finish with Act rinse. Done.

I do this, and I only paid $8 Canadian for 1/2 kilo on Amazon. I use it after meals and snacks and after drinking coffee.(I drink a lot of coffee and tea) It is easy to carry a large pill bottle of it in my purse when I am out and I also use it in my water flosser. I only do it for a couple of minutes to give the Streptococcus mutans something to eat and starve. (They do not become resistant: It is other weaker strains of bacteria in the mouth that do not eat xylitol. ) I also sometimes use a toothbrush I carry in my purse if my mouth feels icky(technical Canadian term) There was a study at the University of Toronto that suggested doing this multiple times a day is most effective, which is why I adopted the habit as I have.

Increased sensitivity is good. It means your nerves are exposed and calcium is not being drawn. It is an opportunity to regrow enamel & dentin. I use L-Lysine, L-Arginine, CaCO3, and a pinch of Glycine & beta Alanine. The latter modulate NMDA receptors in the nerves to release calcium. That’s what the bacteria usually do, but the remineralization isn’t good with SM alone. You need Lysine to build the osseous fiber with help of bacterial breakdown of Lysine to give ammonia. If there is no Lysine, the lysine in your enamel& dentin is used. You end up with charcoal. That’s why cavities are black. All carbon, no nitrogen. Good apatite also needs phosphorus in addition to Lysine & Calcium. Enough of it in lipid bilayer of foods. So you really just need xylitol and a couple amino acids.

If it works for you, just take it in moderation and remember it won’t replace regular visits to a dentist. I also have suffered from dry mouth due to anxiety that is exacerbated by mouth breathing and not drinking enough water. Since increasing my water intake over time, and breathing through my nose with my mouth close when I sleep, using a Micropore postage size tape over my mouth , I have more saliva in my mouth.

Idk if one one has already mentioned this but this dark “shadows” that you mentioned look like what’s known as “black triangles”. They can happen for a couple reasons, one being that when long-standing plaque between teeth gets cleaned, the gaps get revealed where healthy gum tissue used to be. This happened to me when I got a deep cleaning. They’re not very pleasant to look at cosmetically, but it’s better than tartar. I’m not a professional so I can’t say why you got black triangles for sure but I actually think that if Xylitol is the only variable, that it might have been working for you!

The obvious question here is.. At what point can you still get good results in terms of reduced time? I use mouthwash occasionally and I notice that I can do a swirl for around 15 seconds and it does a very good job of attacking the harmful flora. I've tried it with and without brushing and flossing. Especially if I floss aggressively and don't brush or swirl, I get a lot of tenderness in the gums which I believe is likely due to bacteria. This is my control (I don't do this normally). If I floss only and don't brush, but then use mouthwash, I get no tenderness in the gums. Part of this may be due to nerve stimulation, but I believe it is reasonable to draw the conclusion that it it is effective at attacking the bacteria. Similarly, if I don't have access to a toothbrush, a swish with mouthwash will significantly reduce plaque. Therefore, my conclusion that the "minimum effective duration" for mouthwash is functionally around 10 to 15 seconds. I find no particular benefit for longer than that. And when I spit out the mouthwash, it has permeated to all areas of my mouth and remains there for several minutes until the saliva production eventually dilutes it and flushes it down the throat. Probably the most effective way to do this with xylitol is to create a liquid solution and keep it in a small bottle and use it that way. Additional benefit here would be that you could do a short duration swish with your xylitol solution a few times per day and really maximize your results. Just looking at the way the flora operates and the times you have mentioned, I can't think of any reason to use 15 minutes. I could see anything from 15 seconds to a minute. If it's not effective at that duration, there are better choices.

I make my own toothpaste with 4 ingredients. In a small resealable tub I add about 8 Tbs Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, 3 Tbs Birch Bark Xylitol, 2 Tbs Aluminum Free Baking Soda, and Food Grade Spearmint Essential Oil to taste. (many healthy shakes) I blend it all in my Magic Bullet for 1 minute and pour it into the tub. I put it in the refrigerator for about an hour to set quickly to reduce settling and then keep it at room temperature in the bathroom so it is easy to apply to the toothbrush. It must be kept below 77 deg or it will turn to liquid and the baking soda will settle to the bottom. But once it returns to around 75 degrees it can be re-stirred and the baking soda will be properly suspended back into the oil. I also do a Coconut Oil/Xylitol pull before I go to bed. You can make a 50/50 Coconut Oil/Xylitol blend. Mix it in the Bullet and pour it into a resealable tub so you don't have to deal with the crystals. I just scrape out about a half teaspoon full and pull with it for about 10 minutes before bed and then (wait for it)... I swallow it! 😲 Haven't died yet. 🤷‍♂ I don't drink or eat anything after that and I feel my mouth and gut flora benefit from it. My teeth and gums have never been healthier, shinier, whiter, (natural white) and stay cleaner feeling for longer. This is by far the healthiest thing you can do for your mouth.
