Let my words speak directly to your teeth. Teeth, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I haven't always loved the way you look. I'm sorry for ignoring you when you've needed attention. I'm sorry that sometimes I've eaten food that has harmed you. I'm sorry that I haven't always kept you clean. I'm sorry that dentists have sometimes treated you harshly. I'm sorry, Teeth. Teeth, I love you. I love your strength and resilience. I love the way you shape my face. I love the way you bite and chew my food. I love the way you connect me to my childhood and my ancestry.

Very loving meditation for respecting and appreciating your teeth.

Honestly the first time I feel listening to something on this app daily feels good and intuitive!

I really enjoyed listening to that and it opened my eyes to A New Perspective on my teeth. I will share and continue to listen and practice gratitude for my teeth

Again thank you for being here and addressing teeth and gums

Thank you so much for this meditation. I cried a lot because I just had oral surgery and I had to take two teeth out , my wisdom tooth and one unexpected tooth. The surgeon was very direct but very nice and caring. This morning, I just realize how much I’m grateful for having most of my teeth and being able to chew and sing and laugh. This meditation I sent so much love towards my teeth. Thank you for this.
