No, not at all! But she is very sensible and you can learn a lot about how to keep your mouth healthy from her.

She isn't selling much - she's written some books, and she does have her own brand of xylitol gums and mints and sells little "starter packs" of her system.. and why shouldn't she make some money?

But you don't have to buy her mints - you can get a bag of xylitol online or at the grocery store, and just add a teaspoon to some water and sip it after meals.

I've used her system for years now, and my teeth and gums are always great.

How long have you used it.
Do you use her system once or twice a day ?

About 6 years, I think? Not quite sure.

Twice a day - I brush my teeth after breakfast and at bedtime.

And I do take the xylitol mints. I bought some xylitol powder but to be honest it just sits in my cabinet; I forget to add it to water and drink it.

Do you use the complete mouth care system with the mouth wash?

Yes, sorry - that is what I meant. I use her system twice a day when I brush my teeth.

I know it is possible to remineralize your teeth, including if you have small cavities that are forming. You can do it more cheaply than $100, but it might be more convenient to use this process if you aren't able to do it on your own. However if you have one cavity forming, that means your moth has the conditions to form more cavities - so it would be better to stop them from forming in the first place.

To understand how to keep your teeth and gums healthy, I highly recommend Dr Ellie and her recently updated book, Kiss Your Dentist Goodby. (although, no she doesn't recommend never having a dental checkup! It's just a catchy title.)

She would say, to remineralize your teeth - you need to promote the flow of saliva, which naturally remineralizes your teeth all day long.

Fight Back

If you want to stop a cavity or reverse one, you must do more than brush and floss. You need to:

1. Eradicate cavity-forming germs
2. Eat and drink well
3. Protect your teeth from acidity
4. Use products that strengthen enamel
5. Help teeth re-build themselves
6. Use an oral care system that makes teeth more acid-resistant
7. Know what may put you at greater risk

1. Eradicate Cavity Germs- xylitol after meals, when mouth is dry.

2. Eat and Drink Well- avoid sipping, even water, all day long.

3. Protect Teeth from Acidity- xylitol after meals or drinks.

4. Use Products that Strengthen Teeth- xylitol and fluoride

5. Help Teeth Re-build Themselves- promote healthy saliva; esp in the afternoons. After lunch, give your teeth a few hours where you don't eat or drink.

6. Use an Oral Care System that makes Teeth More Acid-Resistant- speeds up transfer of minerals from saliva to enamel

7. Know What May Put You at Greater Risk- dry mouth, poor saliva quality

Oh I sip water all day or even worse, lemon water or tea. I am my teeth's enemy.

But is #6 what the dentist is suggesting or something else?

Tea is bad for your teeth? Lemon tea too?

Anything acidic is bad for your teeth.
Green tea might be not be acidic and good.

All tea but green tea is acidic even like herbal tea?

I am pretty sure that most foods are acidic - meaning they have a pH level lower than 7 - when you put them into your mouth.

Here's a list I found:

You really don't have to worry about eating or drinking acidic foods. Your teeth can handle it! You just need to not ALWAYS be eating and drinking them. Give your saliva time to return to its natural pH level (of about 6.2 to 7.4 or so) so it can do its thing and remineralize your teeth.
