Four extractions (wisdom teeth), one root canal, and 22 full crowns which I've had for 45 years. I've brushed, flossed, and used various forms of flouride for most of my life and still had loads of plaque at my 6 month checkups. Until now. Started using the full Dr Ellie system, including the mouth watcher toothbrushes, about 2 weeks before I faced the dreaded "chair" and this time the sonar cleaning didn't hurt and dentist and hygienist were so impressed with my new regimen they asked me what I had changed because there was so little plaque. Other people who've had scant work done or believe her system to be unorthodox may not agree with me, but I think she deserves a Nobel Prize. It's chemistry, not floss, that makes all the difference and I absolutely love xylitol.

Another testimony to add. Periodontal. Lost an upper back tooth due to bone loss. Cleaning every 3 months for about the last 2 years.... Drum roll! I've been using your system for 6 months and this morning, the dentist said that there's such improvement. I don't have to go back for 6 months!!! 😂😂😂 God bless you, Ellie! Thank you so much 💓

I'm 58 years old... why has NOT ONE dentist or hygienist in my entire life ever taught this?? Going to start using Dr. Ellie's system tonight. Mind blown.

I won't use a flouride toothpaste. And I refuse cancer causing x-rays for the teeth. An old dentist told me how to brush my teeth when I was a teenager. And I'm a senior now. To brush each tooth one at a time Start at the bottom of the tooth at the gum and brush to the top of the tooth. Sure it takes me 5 minutes but my teeth are clean. Every time I go I to the dentist and tell them I feel great and have no complaints they try hard to find something wrong to try and make money off of me but I won't let them because I have no complaints. Most dentists are like the medical society. They want you to keep coming back. They don't want you healed. They want you as a customer. I won't do it.

I started your system 2 days ago and I've noticed I don't have stinky morning breath anymore. After each meal I eat Xylitol gum and my breath stays fresh all day. I use the system in the morning and in the night. Thank you so much Dr. Ellie. I love you. ❤

Yeah.... Hi again. They don't have Crest where I am in Russia but they still got regular Colgate, so that's what I'm using now. I noticed I was getting cavities a few years ago (after rarely getting any) after I switched to fluoride free toothpaste, so I switched back to fluoride. Anyway, I had a couple of spots where between the teeth the gum had come away from the tooth. I was told that would never grow back. Well it did! Once I realized what was going on, it collected food debris, I started paying close attention and made sure I got the debris out with a piece of Floss. I learned that if I felt something after a meal it was because there was food stuck between teeth and started cleaning the food out right away after the meal. Well, it must have worked because I noticed no food was collecting there anymore. Upon close inspection I saw that it was because the gum had reattached itself to the tooth and there was nowhere for food to collect. Just thought I'd tell someone that.

We adore you, Dr. Ellie, THANKS FOR HELPING

Dr. Phillips, your channel is a blessing. Keep fighting the good fight ❤

I love what doing this is doing for my teeth and gums. Thank you.

Thank you for the visual on how to massage the gums. Back in the 70s my orthodontist emphasized to massage my gums...he didn't explain it or show me how, and I was at loss. Me with my big teeth, braces, and my finger stuck in my mouth trying to massage my gums the best my young mind thought.

Thank you for your honest, thoughtful, and sincerely helpful guide.

I just come across your channel last night and am so happy that I did. I am applying what I've learned, and am looking forward to the results.

Thank you Dr. Ellie. God bless you 🙏

I started the Complette Mouth System a couple of months ago and am experiencing less sensitivity and uncomfortable gums as a result!! Yay!! I have been an avid flosser, brusher, water pik user for years and years as well as eating a very healthy diet! I am just thrilled to have found Dr. Ellie and her system. My goal is to reverse all the gum recession I've had for years!! Fingers crossed!! And THANK YOU Dr Ellie!!

I am starting my journey with Dr. Ellie’s program tonight and I am so excited to have the knowledge she has provided. I am looking forward to having a healthier mouth. Thank you and God bless you, Dr. Ellie.

Im 54,and all my life have been very fortunate with my teeth,with only one cavity when i was young. Recently i started getting extreme sensitivity,and what feels like a couple of cavitys. Ive had to change my diet drastically as certain things trigger it,and particularly i am now off coffee for the foreseeable future,as i think this is what did the damage,and when i drink it it is very painful,due to the acidity. Ive started your regime and find the Closys very calming,and will get the toothpaste shortly. Im a great believer in the softly softly approach,and think your videos,and regime are excellent. I am not rushing to a dentist yet,and have faith that this approach will help,and heal. Many thanks.

I ordered 2 boxes and now think I need another! I’m excited to get them

Thank you so much for the video! I’m so excited to try this for myself and my kids. I really appreciate all the information especially about fluoride.

I bought your system a week ago and already seeing improvements. I will absolutely start massaging my gums now! Thank you for always explaining the “why”. I appreciate you so much!

You Dr are an absolute gem. Thank you for this wonderful information.

I'm new to your channel (& a new subscriber!), and every single video I've seen so far has taught me something. I can't thank you enough!

Thank you for this video! 🙏🏼

Thank you for educating us! I really appreciate all of the detailed information you give along with the basics. The ‘why’ of things is so important to know, in my opinion. I’m excited to start your regimen!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful knowledge.

thank you for clarifying about fluoride.

Thank You Dr. Ellie you are Awesome!

Such valuable information from someone I’ve learned I can rely upon for truth for oral health is so helpful and welcome. Thank you so very much. God bless you.

Thank you Dr Ellie. Mind blowing common sense. I have noticed receding gums the last couple of years and the Dentist did not educate me 1/3 as much as your wonderful educational videos. I noticed my receding gums getting worse a couple days ago and started research and feel blessed I came across your videos. I went on Amazon and bought a couple of your products and can get 2 others at the store. Thank you for caring/sharing! I will let you know what happens.

I was a dental assistant and I learned how to brush pretty well. I did have so many filling put in in my teens that the dentist said we need to crown these. I did crown a few teeth but just stopped going to any dentist and I brush and floss at home.. I'm super happy I never went back to finish the two pages of repairs they printed out for me.

Thank you for addressing the food dye in products.

I ordered the various products, I really hope it helps because I’ve tried so many things. I have multiple autoimmune conditions and gum recession that isn’t slowing down so I’m looking forward to trying this.

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. I watched another of your videos and have been massaging my gums ever since. I can really see a difference. However, seeing this video gives me a thorough understanding of the whole process. Most dentists don't explain things as well as you have. I really appreciate your sharing your knowledge. I have an dental appointment in a couple of weeks and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll see a difference.

looking forward to the actual video with your kids for a tooth-brushing demo.

I don't always leave comments, but I really want to say: thank you so much Dr Ellie for making a mention of sorbitol and SLS etc in this video. I was confused on whether or not to buy Crest, but you helped me to put the issue in perspective. Hearing you talk, acknowledging it's not the best of ingredients -- it really helped me feel confident that I can trust your choice of toothpaste, as you seem to be recommending it with full knowledge. Thank you, I was massively struggling to decide on a toothpaste. You have no idea how much your video has relieved me, and I'm very excited to use Crest.

I am so grateful… for all that you share and the enthusiasm in which you share it with!! I have been using the xylitol at bed time and plan on upping my regime to your suggested one. 🙏🙏🙏

Wow...probably the most helpful dental advice I have ever heard. I appreciate your addressing the fluoride issue, too. Will be starting your system.

I’m glad I watched more of your video. I was like this all sounds good, but what about my concerns with fluoride and dyes, colors and so on. But you do address that and put it into perspective. Thank you!

Have NEVER been advised by my hygienist how to brush or to use a dry toothbrush (wait 24 hrs). Thank you sincerely for your videos. I have ordered all products on your list.

Just found you so thankful...cant wait to follow your protocol my receding gums need help...Thank you.

I started watching some of your videos and you are totally changing so much of my thinking around dental care! I have one child in particular that has very soft teeth, has had more cavities than anyone else (not even close) and struggles to maintain good habits. I've also been down the natural health route for a very long time and have avoided fluoride so your explanations about that have been helpful and I'm slowly digesting what you are saying. Is there one video that's put the whole routine together? Or do we need to get your book? I'm ready to break from what we've been doing and try your program since she just had 5 fillings. She will go back in 6 months so we can really see how effective it is.

Thank you Dr. Phillips. You're exactly the person I've been searching for!

Thank you for all your advice, I've just started following your advice & feel that I may be making some progress on a positive front. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you for all your advice. ❤

Thank you for the brushing demonstration and I hope you will make another video on it. Since I have been using an electric brush for decades now I have forgotten proper technique. The hygienist recently lectured me to brush from the gum straight towards the teeth this has me confused because I swear as a kid the school nurses taught us to brush in circles. I'm not sure I will get the movement correct with a manual brush especially now that I have arthritis in my hands. Any help is truly appreciated.

I believe this crest has sls also, but i trust what youre saying and I am going to try your system

I am so grateful to have found you. After 40 years of no cavities and pretty good oral health (never really had dental insurance so I wouldn’t go as often) I went to a dentist for a cleaning and had a bunch of fillings! And that’s when pain in my mouth started! Those fillings made my teeth sensitive and ever since then, especially one filling has been very sensitive and hurts. The pain comes and goes. I went after 1.5 years to another dentist thinking I needed a refill, he was so nice and did it for free (kind soul) but 2 months later and I have sensitivity again and pain sometimes (last night I felt a lot of pain, this morning it had gone away). I reeeeeaaaaaallly don’t want to go back to a dentist. I purchased your kit hoping to reverse this. The only thing is I have an oral-b electrical toothbrush that I spent good money on to simply throw away, is there any way I can use it and maybe incorporate the other toothbrush 🪥? Do you think I have a fighting chance at reversing this? THANK YOU SO MUCH for all you do! Bless your kind heart ❤️

Got it. Found the link where you mention using sodium fluoride and NOT stannous fluoride. Thanks.

I love how you explained this! Thank you. What are your thoughts on braces? Removable expanders, fixed metal braces, myobrace etc. Our kids are having some crowding issues and I am not sure how to proceed.

Hi Dr. Phillips, love your clips and the clarity, but for tooth brush, I would wholeheartedly recommend Colgate Flex Clean. This brush is 100% elastic resin, so you can massage hard on the gums and not worry about getting hurt. To me it is the ONLY brush to go to, please try it out.

Thank you Dr!

Excellence !!! thank you

Two brushes is a good idea on the window ledge. I think the UV light through the window will help.

I've learned so much from your videos thank you for the info you share i truly believe its saving my health. I have a wisdom tooth that grew in sideways and broke the two teeth next to it. It got so ugly long story short i dont have the money to see a dentist to have the issue properly dealt with and i knew i had an infection but basically had to wait until it was bad enough that i could go to the ER and get antibiotics. I had an abscess that got outta control and i knew it would probably just come back eventually but they wouldn't pull it and i just don't have the money to see a dentist, It swelled my cheek and throat ;( Maybe only a week after the antibiotics another abcess started forming. It wasn't HUGE but big enough that if you compared it to the other side of my face youd see one side was a little bigger than the other and you could feel the lump. It seemes contained to the tooth and i REALLY didn't want to take more antibiotics knowing I wouldn't have the means to get the tooth pulled after so I decided to take a risk and see if I could deal with it myself. I applied the info I've learned from your channel and I'm so happy I did because it's proved invaluable to me. I learned all the things that I had been doing, the things you grow up hearing over and over and the things all the websites tell you to do, had just been making it worse. I know your practices arent intended as a solution to someone in my situation, but alas I was desperate and felt trapped with no real solution. i truly believe the info ive learned here alongside with information I've learned after expanding my own research on topics I wouldnt have known of had I not watched your channel, I truly belive it's saving me right now because the abcess is gone now and i didn't have to take more antibiotics. Im amazed honestly I thought it was impossible for them to just go away like that especially considering the size, yet that's what happened. It went from a noticeable lump to completely undetecable in a matter of days whereas before I was doing anything it was getting bigger each day which is amazing to me. Im so grateful i was able to stop it from turning into another crisis situation. I know i im not out of the woods yet and need a dentist to deal with it, i would LOVE to have that happen but most places won't see me since i don't have dental insurance and the places that will require me to pay it all upfront since I don't have insurance and there's not one place I've found in my area that's quoted me under $800 which I simply dont have. Its a horrible place to be in knowing you need dental work done and wanting it done so you can prevent further problems but not having the ability to do so since dentistry and healthcare are for some reason viewed as separate entities. A lot of anxiety, feels like you're living with a time bomb in your head that it bound to go off one day and no one will help you deactivate it but least when it goes off I can have my grevious injuries treated if I survive. A little dramatic but thats what it feels like. I feel everything I've learned here has bought me some time until i can afford the dental work I need and given me a much better option than taking course after course of antibiotics without dealing with the tooth which just screams antibiotic resistence to me and is grossly irresponsible on behave of the healthcare sytem and is a threat to human survival, but I digress. Thank you

Very helpful

I’ve just started this week. 👍

For anyone who has had burning or just hates the overwhelming minty intensity alot of toothpastes has like in the Crest pro health this regular Crest is way more mild. I have had my tongue bleed from using too much of of some stronger toothpastes. I have had zero issue with the regular Crest.

You are one of the few DDS who seems to talk about PH levels in your mouth and how to re invigorate and increase your PH from an acidic mouth which is the real reason for most issues, no one tells you this fact.

I went to the Dentist today and got my teeth pulled out. The Dentist informed me, I got bad gum dieases and need to removed all my teeth (like wthell) and get inplant. I've looked at her and said yeah , im good on that. Now i'm here as a journeyman on youtube like everyone else. This video, surely given me lots of confidence back ❤❤❤...

I love your attitude. 🤗💙

Dr Ellie, just wondering, please could you make a video about Periodontol Disease 🙏

I need to floss after having almost every meal cos food always stuck in my teeth and it makes me hurt. Thank you for your advice clips ❤

The absorption of fluoride by way of highly vascular blood tissue such as in the mouth and gums is a concern of mine. Also I've heard about the accumulation of fluoride in the calcified pineal gland over a period of time as a health concern.

Dr.Ellie I just came back from a dental cleaning after using your techniques for only 3 weeks to a month and my gum pockets have improved for the first time probably ever! Thank you so much for this! I still had some plaque on my teeth and I still had quite a bit of sensitivity during the cleaning. I’m hoping these things improve with more time but your system has given me the first glimpse of hope that my mouth can heal itself! ❤

My teeth feel so clean and smooth. I no longer have to scrape plaque off my teeth every morning and I’m brushing less using your program.

This information is gold, thank you so much. I never knew about Crest being a good option. 🌟⭐

Thank you

Thank you for the tip on using two tooth brushes! It makes perfect sense. I have only started to view your content. Thank you for all your work :) The common toothbrush is associated with brushing the teeth. As I understand from your concept, mouth care is not tooth brushing. To shift the view of people and to help everyone to get the right perspective on oral hygiene, it therefore may make sense to come up with a "gum massages brush/tool". I couldn't find any online.

I just realized I have been brushing my teeth, not my gum, since the day I started brushing my own teeth :D :) Hope it's not too late to fix it. Thank you, Dr. Phillips!

This is so interesting and completely unlike anything I've ever herd before. I just bought a Sonic toothbrush having been an electric Oral B user for decades. Now I'm rethinking everting I thought I knew.

I appreciate your hard efforts for your videos.Your oral hygiene is eye opening, first time I learned the bacterial presence and the habit of my daily routine which causes various factors , I don’t know about its thank you very much for your helpful conversation .

Great information. I’m new but impressed. Is there somewhere all the steps (and products) are written in list format? Perhaps another video?

I just bought all the products and am going to start your system tonight, I had a cleaning on Friday. I did have the LANAP surgery 6 monhs ago and my mouth is healing, hoping this will take it to the next level. Been using natural methods for years and no flouride, but i really appreciate that you are aware of the Flouride controvery, because of that I'm trying this.

I've been trying your videos and almost stop flossing. I only floss to get the food out of molar pocket and noticing my gum in that area has filled up and the pocket getting smaller just within two weeks. Similarly I've been using Dr Plotka's toothbrush and loving them ever since. I use Listerine sparingly. For years I've been dedicated to dental cleaning and I think it just made my teeth more susceptible to stains, prone for damaging than sustaining. Honestly I was shocked when I heard of "no flossing" in the past and never believe it until I watch your video with your good explanation and yourself as a living proof I gave it a try and it actually works as you said. Thank you for your wonderful sharing and teaching us how to take care and saving much complication as time goes on🙏❤

Watching this makes me want to take up a new and second career as a dental assistant and health educator. However, even though that tooth paste is cheap, more and more people on a budget are finding healthful food and dental care completely out of reach. * Not yet convinced on the colourful products with fluoride given the controversy surrounding such, but will reconsider them.

I've been doing your program now for nearly 2 months. I purchased the toothbrush you recommend. I love it! I had been using an electric toothbrush (Oral B) for 30 plus years and loved it better than the like brush without the motion. Whenever I did use the standard, I found it uncomfortable. However, this brush is different. I felt immediately comfortable using it and it still looks good. I rinse it with very hot water after each use and make sure it is clean and clear. I don't know how often I should replace it. The norm says every 3 months. Looking at it, it looks still new.

Grew up using Colgate toothpaste and had many cavities as a teen. Over three decades using Crest toothpaste and no cavities. Been brushing my gums and tongue and flossing a couple of years and have better breath.

Thank you again for your time and devotion to educate us. I perceive you as an EXPERT that's why I'd like to ask you about veneers. What's the truth about them; do they protect the surface of the teeth as they're claimed to or actually opposite, they damage them?

54 and zero cavities- my mother had all her teeth at 81 - my father has all his teeth at 82 :)

Just starting my journey with this new exciting system! Glad to throw away the floss! Would love another instructional video on tooth brushing specifically, with more closeups. Just wondering how long to brush for, how much pressure, how hard should the toothbrush be if we’re applying it to our gums? As I have receding gum lines and plaque and cavities along my gum lines.. Do we brush the actual teeth at all or just the gums? Hope you can provide a bit more detail in a video please, would be much appreciated! Thankyou!!

Doctor Phillips,Oh my,my teeth still feel clean after using your complete mouth care system. Oh,my goodness. I don't have the tooth brush yet,but I purchased 2 for my child instead. He used it and he ays his teeth and mouth feel cleaner as well. Wow,I am so happy I tried your system. I will continue using it of course because I have the products. I just got yesterday. Wow,you are in Austin,cool. I just moved from there April 30th. I had to subscribe ❤😊

Dr. Ellie, today I received your Complete Mouth Care System. I am tired of spending thousands of dollars on Ortho visits. I go back for a cleaning end of October so fingers crossed! Thank you for this video.

Thank you for this video dr ellie. For the past few weeks i was losing hope. I was told by 1 dentist i have severe bone loss, needing bone grafting and removing 12 tooth. I went to another dentist but much worse is she needs to remove all my teeth, adviced for a permanent dentures that cost 60,000😭. I went home crying and depress. Im 37 and dont want to lose all my teeth. Now im feeling hopeful, hearing testimonials about the complete mouth care system. Products will be arriving on Monday. And cant wait to start…

Hi Ellie, love your system. Do you endorse the Swiss made Curaprox toothbrush? Here in Canada they are available in some pharmacies and I've been using them for many years and love that they are soft bristles but very dense. They are the only brush I have used that makes me feel like it actually did clean my teeth. Thanks for all the great info.

Thanks for all the information you put out there. Sadly, here in South America it's hard and expensive to get the products you recommend. I find it especially hard to find a toothpaste without glycerin. I am trying to incorporate as much of your advice as I can anyway with the best available options (gum massage, xylitol, not eating/drinking after lunch) etc. I've always had excellent oral health but during my second pregnancy things changed and I had quite a few cavities, gum sensitivity and dry mouth (which I cannot get rid of anymore) which now I'm thinking has mainly to do with the change in saliva...

Dr. Elle, I'm now npo w feeding tube. What should be my dental regent be? Does cleaning need to be as regular as if I ate by mouth or can it be skipPed some, less frequent? I do taste things on occasion, but spit out. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm home bound and its hard to get out for dental visits.

Thank you for this! And thank you for your comments on the ingredients, someday someone will remove these dyes for us LOL how do you use this system for children? I’m going to start for myself this week but would like to get my 10 yr old on something similar (she also has braces in the top)

God bless you...😊

Please can you make a video showing the correct brushing technique as stated in this video. I get the lower gum massage but should we also position the brush along the tooth line and gum to clean. This is what all other dentists recommend but I do wonder if this causes gum recession so would really love to see the correct method.

Dr. Ellie, would an H2O2 soak kill the bacteria? A shotglass of hydrogen peroxide for my toothbrush. I use it as my oral debriding agent with a bit of H2O as well. Amazing to watch the bubbles the first few times.

I started this today and did it twice and I can already feel the difference.

Thank you 💕

Hi Dr. Ellie have you tried Clearly filtered water filters for filtering out flouride from drinking water? They claim they work for flouride. I have been having some dental problems lately and am really excited to try the products you recommend as soon as I recieve them just waiting on a couple orders.

My favorite person on the internet!

i've always felt weird that so many dentists suggesting flossing as one of the main thing and warning ppl that it is detrimental to not do flossing but there are so many ppl i know who have good teeth even in their old age who do not floss flossing is only required if your diet has the worst food items + your oral care is none + some sort of poor genetics but if you cover the first two, one need not have to floss imo it's very refreshing to hear a doctor saying that she would not recommend flossing. big respect

I will start your programe!! Ive broken the side of my 4th back left teeth Its tolerant to hot and cold. A little wobbly but i can bite down I keep it clean I live in England. NHS dentists are no longer !!! Can i leave my tooth alone. I have plaque. I haven't had any dental cleaning for over 5yrs now even when i lived in sweden. I always got. But my teeth were always strong Recently i have discovered i have an autoimmune condition like systematic inflammation My mouth health my be related to IT OR THE OTHER WAY ROUND Thanyou for reading this ❤❤❤

Sodium LS was originally formulated to degrease car engines - my mouth health improved moticeably when I discontinued SLS.

Dear doctor. I thank you for all your videos and advice. They are a great help in and of themselves. Living in Europe, however, your recommended products are REALLY not affordable on a budget. For example : The Closys mouthwash is 33$ on Amazon. The CREST toothpaste is 25$. Maybe one day, you will have the time to make a video about what to look for when shopping for mouthwash or toothpaste. Or better yet, a video about products that you recommend for people living in Europe. Until then, keep up the good work. We are learning a lot, and we are grateful. Blessings from France.

🔥🔥 👏🏼👏🏼 Muchas Gracias Thank you very much for your knowledge drop ☔ You are the bomb

Thank you and Subscribed to your Channel. Greetings😊

Thank you Dr. Ellie. This is very informative. I have a question. In your Complete Mouthcare System pdf guide, you instructed that we are not to rinse our mouths with water after we have completed Step 5 rinse with Act Anti-cavity. Is there a reason we can't rinse our mouth with water after Step 5? I would like to rinse away the artificial coloring and/or taste of the Act product from my mouth. Perhaps, we can rinse our mouths with water 5 to 10 minutes later? Also, after I have completed all 5 step rinses, can I have a Zellie's mints and gums?
