Dr. Sameer Patel: The Hidden Link Between Oral Health & Your Body's Longevity
What if the secret to a longer, healthier life lies not in complex medical treatments or expensive supplements, but in something as simple as how you care for your mouth? While most of us think of dental health as just about having a bright smile, pioneering dentist Dr. Sameer Patel reveals it's actually a window into our overall wellness and longevity.
Dr. Patel, one of London's leading dentists, shares groundbreaking insights about how our oral health is intimately connected to everything from heart disease to dementia. From his years of experience at the forefront of preventive dentistry, he explains how the mouth acts as an early warning system for serious health conditions, and how simple daily habits can dramatically impact our healthspan.
In his fascinating conversation with Méline, Dr.Patel reveals the truth about common dental misconceptions, from when to really brush your teeth to why removing teeth for braces may be doing more harm than good. He shares practical wisdom about the oral microbiome, the surprising impact of warm versus cold water, and how modern stressors are literally grinding down our teeth. Beyond just dental advice, Dr. Patel illuminates the crucial connection between oral health and whole-body wellness, offering a revolutionary perspective on how taking care of our mouths today could help us live healthier well into our 90s and beyond.
