![]() Gives a lot of interesting background about the causes of problems with your teeth and gums, as well as what works to prevent them and what doesn't.Īnd unlike a lot of people with websites touting holistic "cures" for dental issues, she includes plenty of endnotes and references to academic research. Although you can find basic instructions for the program with a link on her website and not bother reading the book, I thought it was worth the effort to read it. I've been using her system for about 7 weeks and I've experienced tangible and exciting (to me) results: my wife, unprompted, told me my teeth looked whiter after just a few weeks, and the sensitivity to cold has pretty much vanished-for the first time I can remember (after decades) I can rinse my mouth with cold water with zero pain or discomfort.įor quite a while I've had problems with receding gums, and I'm hoping that this program gradually helps reverse or at least improve that, though I expect that to require time and patience. I wish I had come across books and the system years ago. We are especially alert to these changes given the recent connection of gum disease with Alzheimers. His 5 mm+ pockets, present for nearly 30 years, were gone at his checkup last month. My husband adopted Dr Ellie's program a month later than I did. Given my history, these are impressive changes. Now I notice nearly no mineral buildup at all! It's been a couple of months since my last cleaning and I've stepped up my routine to twice a day, using the exact Crest toothpaste Dr. I re-checked the products I was using and realized I was using the wrong toothpaste all along (I used the gel instead of the regular Crest Dr. At my last cleaning I had even less mineral buildup. I had mineral buildup and no other pockets. I continued Ellie's once daily, and at my 3 month check the 5 mm pocket was there but not inflamed. My periodontist declared my shiny teeth and roots to be a "good cosmetic result", striking given that the "cosmetic result" he observed was from Dr. exposed since I was 19 years old, were covered with a hard, shiny coating (see photo). However, I noticed something amazing: My tooth roots. ![]() As always I had a lot of mineral buildup. Ellie's system just once (not twice) a day.Īt my appointment my periodontist told me I had one 5 mm pocket that could be accessed without scaling all others were 2 and 3 mm. I decided to get a second opinion from a periodontist and faced a 2 month waiting period. My new dentist said I needed deep scaling/cleaning in all four quadrants of my mouth due to bleeding gum pockets. At the time I had gone 14 months without dental care after my dentist retired. That's when the system described in Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye came to my rescue. It all worked until I was exposed to dental pathogens and my gum health declined. ![]() Prone to gingivitis and periodontitis, I combatted these successfully for decades with conscientious dental hygiene, and in later years a low carbohydrate diet. My gums are fragile, and I've had exposed tooth roots throughout my mouth since orthodontia when I was 19 years old. ![]() I am in my 60s and have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a condition of abnormal collagen. For amazing results, use the Crest Cavity Protection Regular Paste that contains sodium fluoride, silica, and has no glycerin. Always select a high quality brush and be sure to have a new brush regularly (especially if you are fighting cavities or gum disease) and allow brushes to air dry for 24 hours between uses.Crest Cavity Protection Regular Paste is proven to help mineralize teeth and on the tube it is able to claim that it “helps stop cavities before they start.” This specific Crest formula is different from more modern formulations which are not recommended as part of this system. Providing that you protect teeth from abrasion damage by using the CloSYS pre-rinse, you will safely be able to use dense (a firmer) brush without fear. Most people are told to use a soft brush – but this is inadequate for this purpose and will not achieve the circulation and blood flow necessary for gum healing. The aim is to stimulate circulation in the gum tissues around teeth. The mechanical (brushing) component of the Complete Mouth Care System is not so much to “clean” teeth, but to achieve a gum massage.
