Comments by "" (@SunrayStar) on "The Risk of Dental Implants" video.

  1. Dr. Ellie answered someone's question above about sensitivity after starting the program with this info: "In most cases they are not using correct products. Or they are not practicing any "mouth resting"...the 2 hours after xylitol when you do not eat or drink anything. Some have chewed the gum for too long. 2-10 minutes max - followed by no eating or drinking - not even water. Severe tooth sensitivity = a nerve problem. You should have that tooth checked by an endodontist - and this would have nothing to do with my system. You likely have a filling or a crown that upset the tooth - sometimes this happened as long as 5-10 years ago." This commenter wrote back to her about 2 weeks later: "The sensitivity has now completely gone. I rested my teeth as you recommend and also stopped the Listerine for a few days. Pleased to be back on track." Sometimes people keep Listerine in the mouth for too long. The usual time is 30-45 seconds, but the rule on Listerine is really to only keep it in until it starts to feel hot, then spit it out. For some people, this may only be a few seconds at first until their mouth gets stronger and they can gradually work their way up longer.

  2. Are you doing vigorous thorough gum brushing with the Mouthwatchers toothbrushes? 2 separate brushes, one for AM and one for PM? Doing enough mouth resting throughout the day? (Long periods of mouth rest time with no snacking or sipping liquids?) Keeping the Listerine in too long - past the point when it starts to feel hot?

  3. Dentures are always an option.

  4. She most certainly is a professional dentist, since around 50 years ago! So your view is that the patient should not know about the risks and dangers of implants?

  5. I did not misquote you. You did accuse her of not being a professional dentist, but she is one. If I misunderstood you, then what did you mean? You said she "scares a lot of people about dental implants." She doesn't mean for people to be scared, but rather to be informed about the risks so that they can make a good decision for themselves and not just be at the mercy of some other dentist and not understand what they are being told to do. When you said "you should keep quiet", this would be withholding valuable information from people. Why should she hear you?

  9. Dr. Ellie does not recommend that because coconut oil kills all bacteria, both good and bad, but you need the good kind there to protect the teeth and gums.

  10. You should be able to find 100% xylitol granules/crystals.

  11. You are referring to a very flawed study in 2024 paid for by businessmen to discredit xylitol because they were interested in marketing a competing product. Dr. Ellie has addressed this issue in articles on her site and also made a video on here on that subject. Xylitol is still safe.

  12. Why? She grew up there; she's British.

  13. Twice isn't enough. Dr. Ellie says you need at least 6-7 grams total per day, with at least 5 different exposures to it throughout the day. Getting less than 3 grams per day will give no benefit and is the same as not taking any at all. You don't have to just chew gum; it also comes in mints and 100% xylitol granules/crystals.

  14. OK, good to know!

  15. She knows about it and does not recommend it.

  16. Yes, ACT is the same formulation, even though they changed the shape of the bottle.

  17. Dr. Ellie said elsewhere "I do not ever suggest consuming erythritol (it's the cheap 'high fructose corn' substitute for xylitol) but erythritol can be an OK prophy paste for dental cleanings."
