Reverse a Cavity w/ This Easy System and Avoid Fillings Forever
Summary
TLDRThis script discusses the possibility of reversing dental cavities through remineralization using a complete mouth care system. It differentiates between a cavity and the decay process, emphasizing the importance of eliminating the bacterial cause of cavities to prevent further tooth damage. The speaker recommends using xylitol and specific mouth rinses to combat anerobic bacteria, harden decay, and potentially avoid or prepare for dental fillings more effectively.
Takeaways
- π¦· Cavity remineralization is possible, allowing minerals to restore the tooth's structure without necessarily needing a filling.
- π The difference between a cavity and caries (tooth decay) is explained, with a cavity being the physical damage and caries being the disease process.
- π Interproximal cavities, found between teeth, can be treated with a complete mouth care system to remineralize and repair the tooth.
- π‘ For cavities in the center or on the side of a tooth, remineralization is also feasible, potentially avoiding the need for a filling.
- π¨ββοΈ Dentists may prefer a tooth to be in better health before a filling, which can be achieved through a complete mouth care system.
- π¦ The importance of eliminating the bacteria causing cavities is emphasized, as fillings won't resolve the underlying disease.
- π§Ό Plaque is an infection, not a substance, and cannot be removed mechanically; it requires specific oral care strategies to manage.
- π©βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Streptococcus mutans bacteria, responsible for plaque, are shared among family members and friends, affecting oral health collectively.
- π± The growth of streptococcus mutans is influenced by sugar intake, which makes them stickier and more likely to attach to tooth surfaces.
- π‘οΈ The complete mouth care system, including xylitol and specific mouth rinses, can help inactivate plaque bacteria and harden decayed areas, preparing the tooth for potential fillings.
- β±οΈ Time is a factor in plaque and cavity development, with bacteria becoming more dangerous as they grow and multiply.
Q & A
Can cavities be reversed through remineralization?
-Yes, according to the script, cavities can be reversed through remineralization, where minerals go back into the tooth and reform its structure.
What is the difference between a cavity and the disease that causes a cavity, known as caries or tooth decay?
-A cavity is the actual caving in of the tooth structure, while caries or tooth decay is the disease process that leads to the formation of a cavity.
In which areas of the tooth is it easier to reverse a cavity using the complete mouth care system?
-It is easier to reverse a cavity in the interproximal areas where two teeth meet together or in the center of the tooth in the fissures and grooves.
What is the recommended approach if a cavity is in the center of a tooth or on the side of the tooth?
-The speaker encourages the use of the complete mouth care system before getting a filling, as it can potentially strengthen the tooth and make the filling process easier and less sensitive.
Why is it important to address the disease causing the cavity before getting a filling?
-Addressing the disease is crucial because if the bacteria causing the decay are not eliminated, they will continue to attack the tooth, potentially leading to further decay even after the filling.
What is the role of plaque in tooth decay?
-Plaque is an infection in the mouth caused by bacteria like Streptococcus mutans, which feed on sugars and multiply, creating an acidic environment that dissolves tooth surfaces and leads to decay.
How can the complete mouth care system help in preventing the spread of cavity-causing bacteria?
-The complete mouth care system, including xylitol and specific mouth rinses, can help inactivate plaque bacteria, making them immobile and unable to multiply or produce acids, thus preventing further decay.
Why is it recommended to dry the toothbrush for 24 hours between uses?
-Drying the toothbrush for 24 hours helps prevent the multiplication of Streptococcus mutans bacteria, which can become more dangerous when they are anerobic and multiply in a moist environment.
What is the process of plaque formation and how does it lead to tooth decay?
-Plaque begins with the attachment of bacteria like Streptococcus mutans to tooth surfaces after consuming sugar. They multiply and create an acidic environment that dissolves tooth surfaces, leading to deeper penetration and further decay.
How does the use of xylitol help in the process of reversing a cavity?
-Xylitol inactivates plaque bacteria, preventing them from multiplying and producing acids, which helps in stopping the decay process and potentially allowing the tooth to remineralize.
What is the significance of the 'scab' analogy used to describe the hardening of decayed tooth material?
-The 'scab' analogy signifies the hardening of decayed material due to the use of mouth rinses and other products in the complete mouth care system, which helps in creating a barrier over the decayed area, allowing the tooth to regenerate underneath.
Outlines
π¦· Reversing Cavity Formation with Complete Mouth Care
This paragraph discusses the possibility of reversing a dental cavity through remineralization, where minerals are reintegrated into the tooth structure. The speaker emphasizes the distinction between a cavity, which is the structural breakdown of a tooth, and the disease causing it, known as caries or tooth decay. They advocate for the use of a complete mouth care system to remineralize cavities, especially interproximal ones (those between teeth), and to strengthen teeth before dental procedures. The importance of addressing the underlying disease causing cavities is highlighted, as merely filling a cavity without treating the disease will not prevent new cavities from forming. The speaker also touches on the importance of oral hygiene practices in preventing the recurrence of dental diseases.
πΏ Understanding and Combating Plaque and Cavity-Causing Bacteria
The second paragraph delves into the specifics of plaque formation and the role of Streptococcus mutans, the primary bacteria responsible for plaque and tooth decay. It explains how these bacteria are shared through saliva during everyday interactions and can be passed down from parents to children. The paragraph also describes the life cycle of Streptococcus mutans, from its initial seed-like form to its more dangerous anerobic state, and the importance of maintaining a dry toothbrush to prevent bacterial growth. The speaker recommends a complete mouth care system to defend against external bacterial threats and to prevent the multiplication of Streptococcus mutans, thus reducing the risk of cavities.
π‘οΈ Preventing Tooth Decay with Xylitol and Effective Mouth Rinses
The final paragraph focuses on the decay process initiated by harmful bacteria that thrive in acidic environments and their ability to dissolve tooth surfaces, leading to cavities. It describes the transformation of plaque into a hardened mass known as calculus or tartar, which is a crusted form of plaque that attracts more harmful bacteria. The speaker recommends the use of xylitol and specific mouth rinses as part of a complete mouth care system to inactivate plaque bacteria, preventing them from multiplying and causing further damage. They liken the hardening effect of these treatments to the formation of a scab, which signifies the beginning of tooth regeneration beneath the decayed area. The paragraph concludes by encouraging the use of this mouth care system before any dental filling to ensure a cleaner, less painful, and more successful procedure.

Transcripts
you can get a cavity to remineralize
minerals to go back into it and re a
tooth it's quite easy to reverse a
cavity even if it's through into the
dental I want to explain the difference
between a cavity and the disease that
causes a cavity that we call carries or
tooth
decay a cavity is the actual caving in
of the structure of a tooth and up until
now we've always believed that if the
tooth caves in you need to have a
filling if you use my complete mouth
care system to some degree and
potentially completely you can get a
cavity to remineralize minerals to go
back into it and reform the structure of
the tooth now this will happen if the
cavity is in the area where two teeth
meet together it's called an
interproximal cavity and I encourage you
if you've been shown on x-ray to have an
area like this a kind of triangular area
between two teeth or on two teeth use my
complete mouth care system that I
recommend which is in detail on other
videos and on my website at Dr elli.com
and you can use the products that I
recommend and the
strategies to actually put minerals back
back into this vacant looking space and
repair so that you don't ever need a
filling in that area you can do the same
thing if your cavity is in the center of
the tooth in the fishes in the grooves
of the center of a tooth it's quite easy
to reverse a cavity even if it's through
into the Denton in the center of a tooth
or on the side of the tooth if you've
lost an enormous chunk of your tooth
then yes this may need a filling
eventually but I would still encourage
you to use my complete mouth care system
prior to having a filling done now your
dentist May cringe at this idea but he
will thank you because when he comes to
do the filling not only will the tooth
be less sensitive the tooth will be
stronger he's less likely to Chip Away
extra pieces of the tooth surface and
the gum if it's the The Filling involves
any gum area your gums will be healthier
will bleed less it'll be just generally
easier for your dentist to do a good
filling so everybody should be on board
if you have a cavity to unless there is
any nerve involvement and the tooth is
dying but if if there's just a normal
amount of of sort of lost tooth
encourage you to spend two or 3 months
cleaning up the tooth cleaning up your
mouth getting rid of the disease in your
mouth and then go and have the filling
done if the cavity didn't go away I
would do this with all my patients in my
dental office if you came in and you had
a small cavity between your teeth I
would recommend if you were interested
that you should go home use the xyl and
this this mouth rinses that I recommend
and try and reverse it
now what you're doing when you reverse
the cavity is the first thing is you
have to get rid of the
disease because it is a disease and
these little stars represent the
bacteria that calls the cavity in the
first
place if you don't do that even if you
have this cavity
filled those disease bacteria are still
in your mouth and they're simply going
to find the next tooth to attack
the disease doesn't go away unless you
make it go away and you don't make it go
away with floss you don't make it go
away with a dental cleaning think about
it if those bacteria are floating around
in your saliva if they're in your
mouth you can have a dental cleaning
before you're paying for the dental
cleaning they're back on your tooth
again and those are the bacteria that
form plaque now plaque bacteria need to
be talked about because most people do
not understand how to get rid of plaque
plaque cannot be removed from your mouth
mechanically you can't spit out plaque
you can't floss away plaque it's not a
substance it's an infection that is in
your
mouth and this infection will be not
only coating your teeth stuck tight
against your teeth
but it's also floating in your saliva
these streptococus
mutans is the name of the bacteria that
are the ring
leaders of the development of plaque in
your mouth and strep mutans floats
around when we talk to one another they
are sprayed out in our saliva if we
share food if we share drinking utensils
you're drinking soda and you share it
with your friends you may be sharing
your mouth bacteria with them and they
with you most people who live within a
family when we test their mouths they
have very similar
bacteria we know that a mother when she
kisses her baby directly spreads from
her mouth whatever bacteria in her mouth
if they're cavity forming bacteria she
will spread them share them with her
children so we need to do this as a
family as a community as as a group of
friends you you are going to be sharing
bacteria and how do you perhaps let's
start with how do you protect
yourself I had a hygienist who was
getting cavities and and dental problems
because her husband had bad oral
health he he was somebody wasn't
interested in changing his mouth health
and and she had tried all sorts of
techniques to try to stop the cavities
stop the disease in her mouth when she
started using my complete mouth care
system we were able to show that she
could prevent picking up the bacteria
from her husband so be very excited that
the complete mouth care system I
recommend is able to defend you
from bacteria that come in from outside
of
sources be also aware that these
bacteria they start life strept caucus
mutans as a small round seed a kind of
bacteria that looks a lot like a little
tiny seed a seed that you would grow
vegetable with and they have a hard
outer shell which is why they are so
difficult and if you pick them up when
you brush your teeth on your toothbrush
which you will if they get in the depth
of your toothbrush bristles they will
multiply Supply and become more anerobic
and when they're more anerobic they are
more
dangerous anerobic plaque is far worse
than immature plaque and this is the
reason that I recommend you dry your
toothbrush for 24 hours between
uses if you soak your toothbrush you're
going to make your toothbrush bristles
too soft if you actually dry the
toothbrush and air dry it
dry it away from your toilet area your
toothbrush should be clean the next time
you use it 24 hours
later but these little seeds the
streptococus mutans if they're allowed
to grow and they change they change
after 15 to 12 to 15 hours they
become meshed together with other
bacteria they actually feed on any
sugars in your mouth anything you're
eating or drinking that contains sugar
whether it's a carbohydrates like a
bread pasta a vegetable fruits any
sugars can feed these streptococus
mutans bacteria and make them stickier
that's what happens and when they are
sticky they will attach to the tooth
surfaces in your mouth and on tooth
surfaces streptococus mutans require a
hard non-shedding surface surf on which
to multiply so they can't multiply in
your saliva you're safe but the minute
they get some sugar and they stick
themselves to your
teeth that is when they get really busy
multiplying sticking to each other
sticking in layers to each other and
growing
three-dimensionally and that is the
material if you ever scrape white fluffy
stuff off your
teeth or if you go to the dentist and
are told you have tartter or calculus
this is a crusted form of this plaque in
your
mouth it begins with this infection and
it begins because it's allowed to stay
on your teeth growing multiplying
thickening and it attracts more of the
bad kinds of bacteria to itself so it is
a a process this Decay process begins
with bad bacteria liking each other
living together creating acidity in the
environment that they like they like to
be acidic and unfortunately those acids
are the acids that dissolve your tooth
surface and open it up for them to get
inside where they do the same thing over
and over again they create acids that
dissolves your tooth they creep in a bit
deeper they create more acids they go go
in deeper they literally bore through
your tooth as a plaque
entity and that combined with the soft
destroyed part of your tooth is what a
dentist will call
carries carries is basically a mush made
of it's almost like a porridge texture
of destroyed tooth with all these
bacteria mixed into it
as a dentist we pick up a drill or we
pick up a little tiny spoon-shaped tool
to scoop out this soften
material and the problem is if it's been
going on a long time the softened
material can go deeper and deeper and
deeper into your
tooth the really cool thing about the
pro program that I recommend is that it
the xylol that I recommend and the mouth
rinses that I recommend go into this
space in your tooth that's being
destroyed and the xyl inactivates plaque
bacteria it literally makes them
immobile they can't multiply they cannot
make acids anymore they cannot stick to
your tooth anymore they cannot generate
the damage that's being generated so at
least begin with taking Xylitol at
little intervals throughout the
day the other mouth rinses that I
recommend travel in to get rid of the
anerobic bacteria the ones that are
extremely
dangerous if you've had this Decay
happening for a little while these Anor
robic bacteria are harder to get rid of
the Xylitol may not be enough but the
products in my complete mouth care
system get into that hole and deal with
that Anor robic
bacteria the other products of my system
the the Listerine and the ACT they go in
there too and they will also help get
rid of the bad bacteria and harden up
the
carries harden up this Porgy softened
disgusting mass of bacteria and
dissolved tooth and the carries will
harden and it will go on hardening and I
liken it to a scab and this sometimes
frightens people because they look at a
brown area that was on their tooth and
that will become darker and they think
that must be worse but just like a scab
when you scab your knee you you graze
your knee it is the debris it is the
dying bacteria and the hardening tooth
that you are seeing in this blackening
area and as the area gets dark if you're
lucky underneath will be healthy tooth
regenerating itself and it basically can
regenerate itself underneath so that
when if you do need a filling for your
dentist he literally Scoops out this
kind of scabbed over Decay and
underneath is a clean part of your tooth
that is now solid healthy and ready
perhaps he wants to scoop out the the
carries the Decay and put in a little
filling it'll be quick it'll be less
painful and it will be a a nice tidy
well organized
filling when a dentist goes in and the
Decay just goes on forever it's so hard
to make sure that that tooth is truly
cleaned you'll lose a lot more tooth in
the process so that is the difference
between a cavity and the Decay process
that we call
carries and I highly encourage you to
get on my complete mouth care system
before any Dental visit for a filling
and try and get your mouth healthy first
and then even if you do need a filling
it's more likely to last for the rest of
your
life
