Dr. Russell P. Kim explains how to maintain optimal oral health throughout the day.

This is the exact same method as Dr. Ellie Phillips but she adds to massage the gums while you brush your teeth and no flossing needed.

Dr Ellie Phillips started this message 40 years ago and says NO to floss and I agree with her

[ao]

This is Dr Ellie Phillips method. I watched her video. This stuff works!

As for the xylitol sugar substitute, do not dissolve in water. Use a small amount such as 1/4 teaspoon and dissolve on tongue with your saliva which will give you the best effect.

Aloha, Dr. !!
You are the only doctor after doctor Ellie who talks about this great system. Also, you explain that it is 5 times a day using the xylitol. I was not using it 5 times a day. Now I understand.
It has helped me a great deal after I started using this sugar. Thanks fir helping and sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for your informative presentation. 🙂

This is more than 3 steps but is exactly the same as Dr. Ellie's oral care system, except for the flossing.

[redefv]

1. Floss 2. Closys 3. Brush and scrape tongue 4. Brush teeth 5. Rinse with Listerine 6. Use ACT 7. Xylitol mints. 3 steps?

Xylitol is deadly to dogs FYI.

[00:18] Dr. Russell Kim introduces a 3-step process for optimal oral health: flossing, rinsing with a neutralizing rinse, and brushing your teeth. [░]

[01:38] Brushing your teeth should be done after rinsing with a neutralizing rinse to remove mouth acidity. [░]

[02:33] 🪥 Brushing your teeth for at least two minutes at a 45-degree angle is recommended. [░]
[03:01] Crest Regular Cavity Protection toothpaste is recommended due to its sodium fluoride and mild abrasive content. [░]
[03:57] Listerine is an effective over-the-counter rinse due to its ADA seal and anti-bacterial properties. There are generic brands available. [░]

I’ve come across this system before but I really appreciate how you explained it all fully but simply & quickly. I saw a comment that says up cannot substitute the Listerine mint but that’s false. I have seen generic brands with the same ingredients including percentages on the essential oils for much cheaper. Same for ACT.

[DanielaRosenrot]

Better to use the Xylitol crystals after every meal and mix it with your saliva - only 1-2 minutes. Put 6 grams of Xylitol in a small container and use these 6 grams for that day - use small amounts of Xylitol in small intervals the entire day. Of course you need to do that for many months to see the healing of teeth and gums. These are the tips from Dr Ellie. Xylitol stimulates saliva + it gives your saliva a neutral ph of 7. You NEED a neutral ph or ph of 8 to truely remineralize the enamel. Your saliva is naturally mineral rich BUT if your saliva is constantly acidic (below 7) that saliva is not able to remineralize your teeth.

I wonder who that dentist was that you were inspired by 10 years ago. Credit where credit due

[gheckolady]

6 products so 6 steps. Very informative thank you. Aloha ❤

[arisk]

Many thanks, but can you provide alternative product labels for people living in Europe? There is not easy way to find the products you mention here, except Listerine! And is it ok to use other types of Listerine than the one you are showing us here?

[djamila]

Hi thank you!
Can you give us an alternative to Closys? Please❤

[dollyburton]

Can you suggest an alternative to the last mouth wash as it stains any work or restoration in resins on your teeth. It will be much appreciated

[rorscach]

But doesn't Listerine kill the good bacteria in your mouth?
The purpose of Closys is to help balance the ph level in your mouth. Do any of the products you use afterwards disrupt that balance?

[elainer]

Thank you! Please, what is the purpose of using the Act at the end? Remineralization? We use xylitol after the Act as the last step or after meals?
