American Dreams: The Moth Radio Hour

Speaker 10:00

Let me ask you something. When was the last time you felt genuinely confident about your health? Not just like, "I think I'm doing okay," but really solid, like you've got a handle on things. For me, a big part of that comes down to staying on top of my oral health. I tend to put off visits to the dentist, but promised myself recently that I'm going to make them a priority. I know that once I actually go in and get back on track, it'll change how I show up, and it'll be easier to keep it up. Because confidence isn't about being perfect, it's about momentum. It's about taking that step and knowing your health isn't holding you back. And something that really surprised me, the connection between your mouth and your whole body. Smile Generation talks a lot about this, how oral health can impact everything from your heart to your brain, even long-term conditions. It made me realize that taking care of my smile isn't separate, it's part of taking care of everything.
