I was using the products for a while and it seemed like they helped but they are kinda pricey for what you get so I lost interest. Glad you are having successJanelle, I noticed that you were on a thread discussing the Calcium Therapy Institute in the past and I was wondering what your thoughts were on that in the end? I've been using the calcium water and just plain water to brush my teeth, I used the special toothbrush for a while, too. I haven't had a checkup in a long time and it's mainly because I know they'll insist on X-rays and there's never a day where I think, man I could really go for some X-rays today! I don't have any pain in my mouth and one cavity I could actually see forming on one of my molars has stayed very small and may have even gotten slightly smaller. My gums used to bleed all the time and now they do right around my period when my estrogen is at it's highest only. I rarely floss and that used to mean I'd have swollen gums if food got stuck between my teeth but I don't really have that issue anymore except, again, during that same time of the month. My teeth feel smooth.
I don't know, the whole philosophy sounds crazy but it seems to be working! I think I should get a check up just to make sure I don't actually have some major issues. I like how Dr. Ellie says that certain foods have the same effect as xylitol, leaving the mouth microbiome in a good space. I know she said cheese, but also some fruits like berries. I also read recently that blueberries are really good for teeth from a different source, but I notice that teeth whitening ads always focus on coffee and blueberries to make people feel self-conscious about their teeth, but I think I even read on here recently that coffee actually whitens teeth, too. I like to give my kids cheese or blueberries right before bed because they hate brushing! I notice they only have bad breath when they're sick.
