I highly recommend Dr. Ellie’s system of tooth care. After receiving a cleaning 3 years ago, I began to feel and notice rapid gum recession. I am 43 and hadn’t been to the dentist in several years (I’ve had trauma at the dentist), so I was hesitant to go back to the dentist for help with this issue, fearing some kind of crazy surgery on my gums. I’ve always been told I have strong enamel and do a good job brushing at the dentist and orthodontist, but was told at sixteen I had receding gums. It never bothered me for about twenty-three years with sporadic cleanings, until my last cleaning 3 years ago. The sensitivity I had from sweet, and even room temp, foods was getting unbearable. I would hold my jaw for several minutes waiting for the pain to pass if I happened to eat something that set it off. It’s been 3.5 weeks, and that notch in my gum on my front tooth is much improved (not sure which order they will upload in, but the clearer one is the “progress” photo), and my gums are much thicker. Also, my pain level is down about 80-85%. I can eat frozen yogurt, salads and cold granola cereal again. I really appreciate the logical and research-based approach to Dr Ellie’s dental care. I also appreciate that she’s not pushing some kind of snake oil remedy. Every product she recommends is produced by other manufacturers and even her own mints are not pushed as the only xylitol product that works. It seems to me she really cares about people’s mouth health and is not out to make a quick buck - which I do appreciate. Also, you can start this system with information she has available for free online. I purchased her book to go more in depth on the research and to check it as an easy recommendation to others. I purchase her mints to support her work, because, honestly, she’s saving me a lot of money and pain. I set up my bathroom with her proven system for ease of use and it takes no more time than if you brush and floss for every tooth cleaning. I found all the products here on Amazon (which can also be found here in Dr Zellies profile). I keep Zellies mints in these cute candy dishes around the house and a pack in my purse to make this step easily accessible in her tooth care system after eating. My mouth feels clean and my teeth feel slick, no longer “hairy” after eating. And I’m in so much less pain in just 3 short weeks with visible changes! Would not be surprised to find my teeth in no pain in no time. This book/system is a game changer in dental health - I highly recommend!

Just bought this book on Amazon, and spent the day reading it (after spending the past few days reading her website and watching her videos online). What I like about the book: * It covers a lot of ground. * It's well written. * It's specific. * It complements the information available online about Dr. Ellie's system, puts it in context and explains it in more detail. * The method Dr. Ellie proposes for saving and restoring teeth makes sense (with some caveats... see below). * It also contains helpful information for those of us who already have mouths full of fillings. * It explains how and why dentists have inadvertently contributed to dental disease, through the exam methods. * It explains why many people may start getting cavities for the first time AFTER getting a good dental cleaning. (Dr. Ellie explains that dental plaque contains both good and bad bacteria, and scraping it all off indiscriminately may be removing a protective film the teeth need to stay healthy and strong) What would make it better: * This is not so much a complaint about the book, which is clear and well written, but about some of the specific products she recommends. After reading her book, I would tend to believe that she's right, that these products taken in the order she suggests, really will halt tooth decay. What bothers me is that many of them (such as: Listerine, Crest toothpaste and ACT mouthwash) contain synthetic flavorings, dyes, artificial sweeteners, fluorides, and other chemicals that many people are trying to avoid these days. Re: fluoride, I'm sure she's right that topically applied fluoride (as contrasted to fluoride in drinking water) can help remineralize the teeth, if done in the way she describes. But there's some question about whether it's safe. It would be helpful if she could make recommendations about what to look for in alternative products, for those of us who are trying to avoid these sorts of products. But in a way, I realize that this may not be a fair criticism of the book. She's doing an excellent job of pointing out what really causes tooth decay. And no one person can know everything about all of the alternative products out there. * The book would be stronger if she added a chapter with more information about using super-foods like organic raw milk, grass fed butter, and fermented cod liver oil to fortify the teeth from within. She makes a good point that you can have healthy teeth even if you eat the standard American diet, which is crammed full of toxic junk, as long as you follow her key recommendations. But again, this may go beyond the scope of her focus in the book, so I'm not sure it's a fair criticism. All in all I think it's an excellent book, well organized and informative. If people understand and follow its recommendations I expect they will have * much * healthier teeth. It filled in some missing gaps for me, that I think will improve my tooth and gum care.

I think the system she recommends in this book is indispensable, however, the delivery of the message induced yawning (clear, but basic). I'm a teenager, first off, and I read books not to just better understand how to take care of myself (and future family) but to learn new vocabulary and to get a laugh here and there. I just finished In Defense of Food which is similar to this book in that: This book says, "If brushing and flossing kept all the people cavity free, there wouldn't be a problem." And the In Defense of Food book said, "If Americans were if not happier, at least healthier, on their new lowfat diet, I wouldn't have to even defend real food." However, the In Defense of Food was well-written and a New York Times best seller, this is just practical. No bells and no whistles (nice cover though). The funniest statement she made in the book said something along the lines of, "someone who is depressed has a higher risk for dental disease, and the last thing they need with their woes is a load of dental bills!" haha other than that, the vocabulary could be read by a 10-year-old and they'd comprehend it perfectly fine. I understand though that she is a dentist, so I was not going to hold the dull delivery, the repetitive statements, and the mention of all the gross dental diseases (i don't even have a cavity yet, much less dry mouth or rotting teeth or receding gums) against her. Just believe that this system works from all these stellar reviews, but don't waste your money on buying the book. Just purchase her pamphlet that describes the process. She does, like some others have stated, promote her products (her mints/gums and toothbrushes), and I wouldn't have minded that she boasts her toothbrushes are the best if they sold them individually. I went on the Zellies website to find the Zellies brand toothbrush that she spoke so highly of (her brand) and found that it could only be bought in packs over 30, and she hints in her book 'great stocking stuffers'. So of course, your family is going to be like, "A toothbrush?! Really? I know times are tough, but that's all you can afford?" haha and then you'll have to buy them the whole darn book to explain. She also mentions some other miscellaneous Walmart (affordable) brands, and the book was written for concerned mothers than for any other age group. Guys would probably lose interest half way through, kids wouldn't even bother, and as a teenager, I was a bit offended that she wants the mom to trick the student into proper oral health. Heck, Ms. Ellie, you could just sell me an individual toothbrush...I'm a college kid. I don't need no tricks, just a system that won't cost me 37 toothbrushes at a time. Lastly, she tries to make it sound so easy. It's almost feels like a gimmick. She says, you don't have to give up all your sugary drinks, just maybe cut back if you could. And you don't ever have to floss! And I don't go to the dentist, I've only gone once in twenty years! And I bleached my teeth only once! And then she goes on to say that she's not trying to boot dentists out of the system, but heck, I bought this book because I don't have the lovely "kind dentist slash patient" relationship she points out in the book. My dentist wouldn't even show me how to brush my teeth properly when I asked him! So, in saying "Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye" she doesn't simply mean kiss him while you're leaving because all is well, but yes, you can say goodbye for twenty years at a time. She just doesn't have the guts to say it or stick up for her system amidst strong criticism. It's perfectly fine with me to tell my dentist Ta-ta, I'm moving away for college and it's precisely what I wanted to do even if I weren't. This book is worth your time only if you can't get a hold of the method of her system elsewhere.

This book has been very enlightening for me. So nature does provide all we need but its the guidance to steer us toward the; herb, plant, salve, or Birch Tree juice to reap the benefits. Thanks to Dr. Ellie I now have the knowledge to remineralize my teeth and understand why my many crowns, root canals, fillings could have probably been avoided and my pocketbook left not so empty. Xylitol is nature's wonder to ward off tooth decay. Did you think it was come kind of bad sugar like; sorbitol, Erythritol, Mannitol.. like I did? Well it isn't. It's such a preventative substance for tooth decay that the US Military had Xylitol gum added to the soldiers packs for Desert Storm and Persian Gulf conflicts. The troops were returning with too many cavities due to dry conditions and dehydration which are causes of tooth decay as it diminishes one's saliva to bath the teeth. I'm giving Dr. Ellie's program a go and feel confident of its benefits. Her book can be a bit repetitive in places but bears repeating. My only unsettled concern is her recommendation of Crest regular toothpaste. I looked for some and it has Sorbitol in it! Which she covers in-depth isn't what we want on our teeth. So why this product?! Instead I'm using Uncle Harry's All Natural Alkalizing Toothpaste. The spearmint is good. It may be avail at Amazon but I found it at Lehman's Amish store site. As Dr. Ellie shares, our acidic mouths are in need of alkalizing for healthy teeth. This fits the bill better than Crest. As for the absence of Flouride in Uncle Harry's I feel the wash with ACT has it and will suffice my dose preferring to eliminate Sorbitol from my toothpaste a better choice. Buy The Book, it's an easy engaging read at good price. So much in this gem. You'll save your children's teeth and repair or preserve your's.

It is amazing that there's a treatment for teeth that if begun in infancy will protect teeth for the rest of your life. Personal experience: My parents were very interested in protecting my dental health from infancy. They did not allow me to eat candy, chew gum and drink soda for the first nine or ten years of my life. As a result I had perfect dental health! Then I got braces to straighten my teeth, went away to boarding school where I became addicted to chocolate candy and would buy it every chance I got and drank soda whenever available! I faithfully brushed my teeth, but still got a few cavities! This was before flossing was taught. In my adult years my oral health became worse and now I have caps on my back teeth and a bridge on four of my front upper teeth. I just discovered Ellie Phillips' mouth care system on YouTube about 2 months ago and have been trying to follow it ever since. It's rather late in life for me, I'm 73/74 years old, turning 74 this month. I didn't really understand it till I finished reading this book. At first I was doing everything she recommended except for the xylitol mints/gum and doing the system twice a day. I didn't know how to obtain xylitol at first, got my first bottle from Walmart, took about a week to get it, then I ordered it from Zellies, their largest offering, but they were backlogged and it took a couple of weeks, in the meantime I found it on Amazon and got it within two days! About halfway through this book I realized that I really needed to do the whole system twice a day and have been faithfully doing so for about 3 days. It is already making a difference! Even with doing it just once a day, at first, I noticed that plaque was not forming on my teeth and I was not flossing! My gums stopped bleeding. The worn parts of my bottom teeth were beginning to fill in and they are beginning to look whiter, this accelerated as I started doing it twice a day! The Cherry Berry flavor of Xylitol is my favorite so far, in fact I have a hard time not eating more than two at a time, not that eating more is a problem other than the fact that they are very expensive and eating more uses them up more quickly than otherwise! If there were affordable candy, muffins and drinks using only xylitol as their sweeteners I would definitely buy them, still have a sweet tooth! Perhaps Zellies could diversify in this area?!! Hint, hint!!! Learned in this book that the human body produces 15 grams of Xylitol every day so it is a natural sweetener for humans. Just remember, our pets are not human! Do not feed xylitol to them! It will make them sick! This book is definitely a worthwhile read! Enjoy!!!

Tooth pain is no fun and I have had a lot of it in the last 20+ years of my life (due to poor oral hygiene as a kid and young adult). I bought this book (and many others) to learn how to restore and remineralize my teeth to their former glory. I really enjoyed this book. Filled with great information. I have been actively doing the suggested dental routine recommended in the book by Dr. Ellie Phillips, DDS and its night and day in how my teeth feel. I no longer have tooth pain, shooting pain or stabbing in my gums, nor do I have bad morning breath anymore. I actually got over a sinus infection faster because of the dental routine suggested in the book. My teeth feel clean all the time now (like just after a cleaning) and I can't remember the last time I could bite into an apple without pain in all of my teeth, especially my front incisor which I have had 2 root canals on and 3 crowns. My gums have stopped bleeding and they stopped receding and are no longer inflamed and sore when I brush. I also recommend reading "Cure Tooth Decay" by Dr. Ramiel Nagel which is also filled with a lot of great information and helpful routines to rebuild tooth enamel. Practicing a Weston A Price Diet will also help restore and remineralize your teeth. Restoring and remineralizing teeth is a serious and long dedicated process, but I strongly feel it is worth doing. Best of luck to anyone wanting to wonder down this road to better teeth, and the journey is worth it!

I wish I had read this book, and/or known about the information provided years ago! I would have made drastically different decisions regarding dental treatments, and most likely have saved a tooth and loads of money by applying Dr. Ellie Phillips protocol. Though I'm late in the game, so to speak, I'm grateful to now have this information!
