[quote=Anonymous]Someone on the flossing thread mentioned this dentist's web page and I checked it out.

http://www.drellie.com/

It seems sensible to me... and she doesn't seem like she is just trying to sell a bunch of her own special products or anything.   She's recommending certain types of name brand products, mostly, except she does sell her own brand of xylitol gum and mints I guess.

I googled around to see if people think she is a quack but mostly all I can find is people complaining that she says flossing isn't really that necessary/backed in evidence...which now it turns out might be correct.

She seems to say that sometimes cavities can be healed/reverse themselves... which I'd think was quackery, except I had two small cavities once that I never got around to filling (as an adult) and a year later we did xrays and they weren't there anymore (or weren't big enough to need filling) -- same dentist.   So I wonder about that too!

Anyhow, I was wondering if other people here besides the one poster who linked to her have tried or used her system, and what you think of it.  Any reasons NOT to try it?

She says xylitol is SUPER useful in preventing cavities and I never even heard about it.   My daughter gets cavities all the time despite pretty good attention to oral hygiene so I am looking for better ways to help her.
