Dr Steven Lin is a board-registered dentist, writer, and TEDx speaker with work published in The Sydney Morning Herald and The British Dental Journal. He has also written for MindBodyGreen and About.com. Trained at USYD with a background in biomedical science, he is a passionate whole-health advocate, focusing on the link between nutrition and dental health. His mission is to prevent dental diseases instead of treating them. Steven’s journey began when, as a practicing dentist, he realized that today, we live with crippling oral disease. Whether it’s cavities, bleeding gums, crooked teeth or wisdom teeth impaction, there’s no doubt our modern mouths are very sick. Our current dental care is excellent at fixing these problems. However, it is failing to prevent oral disease. Steven soon became frustrated with the lack of answers for WHY dental diseases occur. When he discovered a book written by a dentist from the 1930s, he was inspired. The author, a pioneer in dental nutrition, seemed to have those answers. Today, Steven Lin focusses on helping his patients prevent dental disease and so avoid treatment. He looks for the root cause of disease, believing that the mouth-body connection is the best way to monitor our health. He is also convinced that our diet is the cause of the problems in our mouth, from crooked, rotten teeth to inflamed gums. The oral-systemic link means our mouths affect our body and our bodies affect our mouths. Healing Your Teeth Naturally Can Heal Your Entire Body Why have we never eaten a diet designed for healthy teeth? Nutrition and dental health go hand in hand.
