Description
Enjoy the Mouth Health You Deserve
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. This exchange is important and continues throughout life as family and friends kiss, talk, or simply share food. Today we know that harmful mouth bacteria can impact our general health and that some are implicated in chronic inflammatory conditions. A healthy mouth will give you a brighter smile and provide special protection from cavities, gum disease, bad breath, sensitivity, and enamel erosion to ultimately limit your need for dental treatments--including cleanings, fillings, sealants, root canals, crowns, implants, and extractions.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Ellie shares her easy-to-follow strategies that put oral health under your control. She reveals how to:
- Stop and reverse cavities and gum disease
- Use diet and digestive health to influence saliva quality and promote tooth and gum healing
- Enjoy xylitol to control acidic damage and sensitivity
- End the discomfort of dry mouth and gum recession
- Avoid damage caused by flossing
- Evaluate sealants and their potential dangers
- Learn the dangers of artificial whitening and how to naturally whiten your teeth
Mouth Care Comes Clean can empower you and lead you to a new level of oral health. The strategies are simple but they can miraculously transform mouth health.
