I read this book about a year ago and decided to give Dr. Ellie’s system a try. I am in my sixties and could be a poster child for dental nightmares. I have a mouthful of dental fillings, root canals, failed root canals, crowns a plenty and the last straw was a dental implant on a front tooth about a year ago. I can honestly say going to the dentist is traumatic for me. I wanted to wait to do a review until I really gave it a chance to work or not work. So, I’m coming up on my one year anniversary of following this system to the letter and I’m happy to report I have not been to the dentist for any procedures (including cleanings) for the entire year. My good friend is my dental hygienist and she has looked at my teeth and is convinced a cleaning would be a waste of my time and money (even at the loss of income to her!) I honestly don’t know what the long term affects of using the 3 rinses twice a day will be, but for me, not having dental issues trumps just about anything. I have recommended this system to my children, so I guess that’s the highest review I can give.
