Dr. Ellie challenges the traditional dental mantra that tells us to "brush and floss" because she believes it is dangerous advice and ineffective in light of our understanding that cavities and gum disease are bacterial infections. Oral health depends on the development of a bacterial balance in the mouth, and this cannot be achieved with a length of floss, by over-zealous cleaning, or indiscriminate killing of mouth bacteria. Our mouth ecology develops early in life as bacteria transfer between parents and their babies.

My teeth were getting loose, with bleeding, tender, receding gums last summer. I found DrEllie.com and watched some of her videos. Decided to give it a try one Friday evening at the beginning of August.
3 weeks later, first dental visit in at least five years (Covid) and my mouth was already significantly healthier! Been 11 mos since i began and i'm finally reading her two books. This is the second one - for deeper insight into her simple and miraculous approach to mouth care. It really does come clean! Brilliant!
