Talk Longevity and Oral Health with Miguel Stanley

Dr. Miguel Stanley is the founder and Clinical Director of White Clinic in Lisbon, established in 1999, where he leads a team of more than forty professionals. Unusually among international speakers, he operates almost every day, a practicing surgeon whose lectures are drawn from cases treated that same week.

For twenty-five years, he has treated patients who have taken care of almost everything, only to discover that the one part of the body nobody was watching has been quietly failing.

This talk explores that part of the body: why good restoration can last for decades, why poor restoration deteriorates in silence, and why most adults carry this history without knowing it. It also examines what the evidence shows about oral inflammation and its associations with cardiovascular and cognitive outcomes, breathing, sleep, and the markers that make these connections measurable. The mouth is in permanent contact with the bloodstream, the airway and the immune system, a connection medicine has been slow to act upon.
