Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye, First Edition
About
You brush, floss, use mouthwashes, and are concerned about the foods you eat, yet you still require fillings or lengthy cleanings at the dentist. In Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye, Dr. Ellie Phillips teaches how anyone can achieve and maintain a truly healthy mouth.
Oral health means working for the ultimate health of everything in the mouth—the teeth, gums, jawbone, tongue, saliva, and the skin inside the mouth. Saliva coats the surfaces in the mouth and main- tains the strength of teeth and the health of soft surfaces. With a healthy, nutrient-rich saliva bathing teeth each day, you will not only have cleaner gums and teeth but also improved general health!
Empower yourself as you improve the look and feel of your teeth between dental visits. Your dentist will be amazed at the changes he sees, and you will be thrilled as cavities and gum disease become a thing of the past. Traditional dentistry cannot prevent dental disease. But Ellie’s do-it-yourself daily routine can. Discover how easy it is to reduce plaque buildup, strengthen tooth enamel, repair small cavities, eliminate tooth sensitivity, and improve your overall oral health. Learn about products that hinder your efforts and the risks of bleaching, dental sealants and the wrong use of fluoride. It is time to achieve healthy, clean teeth and gums and wow your dentist at the next appointment.
