Dr. Ellie discovered early in her dental career that she could help patients reverse cavities and gum disease. Her first educational program launched in 1975 taught pregnant women how to improve their dental health and care for their children's teeth. Her never-ending goal is to impart confidence by explaining dental science and methods that can transform mouth health. Dr. Ellie's experiences in England, Switzerland, and the United States have given her a broad view of dentistry and an interest in many specialties and patients of all ages. She has worked in oral surgery, community dentistry, general practice, geriatric dental care, and cosmetic dentistry. She is a pediatric specialist and was the pediatric clinic director and faculty at the University of Rochester NY. Her lifelong interest in health and wellness led her to be a founding member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health and she shares her experiences as a consultant, speaker and author of articles and books. In 2005 she founded a company that produces xylitol supplements for oral health. Dr. Ellie lives in Austin, Texas, and is deeply involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren but she remains dedicated to her mission: to help as many people as possible achieve sustainable oral health and enjoy the whole-body benefits associated with a healthier mouth.
