A palestra, apresentada no TEDxUConn, aborda possíveis relações entre a saúde bucal, doenças cardíacas, sono, gravidez e saúde mental. Também questiona conselhos odontológicos desatualizados e apresenta hábitos preventivos. A TED ressalta que a palestra reflete as opiniões do palestrante e não substitui orientação médica.

NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk as a substitute for medical advice. Research around lifestyle, oral care products, and health remains an ongoing field of study and best practices remain debated. This talk reflects the speaker’s own views and interpretation. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf In my talk "How to Actually Brush Your Teeth", I'll reveal that oral health isn’t just about a bright smile - it’s a gateway to total body wellness, influencing heart disease, sleep, pregnancy, and even mental health. Yet, most of us are unknowingly damaging our teeth with outdated, incorrect advice. By revealing the hidden science behind oral care, I’ll empower people with simple, life-changing habits that can transform their health, longevity, and well-being - one brush at a time. Dr. Kami Hoss is an orthodontist, dentofacial orthopedist, entrepreneur, and leading voice in oral-systemic health. For three decades, he has challenged the long-standing belief that the mouth is separate from the body, advocating for a biologically driven, prevention-centered approach to health care. He is the co-founder of one of the largest multispecialty dental practices in the United States and the founder of SuperMouth, an innovative oral care company focused on age-specific, science-based prevention. He is also the author of the bestselling book If Your Mouth Could Talk, which explores the powerful links between oral health, pregnancy, airway and sleep, mental health, systemic disease, and longevity. Through his clinical work, research, and international lectures, Dr. Hoss encourages both professionals and the public to rethink outdated models of care and recognize the mouth not as an isolated system, but as the gateway to whole-body health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
