Dr. Steven Lin is a board-registered dentist, writer, and TEDx speaker whose work focuses on the intersection of nutrition and dental health. His writings have appeared in publications such as "The Sydney Morning Herald", "The British Dental Journal", "MindBodyGreen", and "About.com". He is the author of "The Dental Diet", a book exploring ancestral medicine, the human microbiome, and epigenetics as they relate to oral health. Published internationally in 2018, the book advocates for dietary changes to prevent dental diseases, drawing inspiration from the Weston A. Price Diet.
Trained at the University of Sydney with a background in biomedical science, Dr. Lin emphasizes preventive care over treatment, seeking to address the root causes of dental diseases. His approach integrates dental nutrition, airway health, functional orthodontics, and sleep science, highlighting the oral-systemic connection. Frustrated by the limitations of conventional dentistry, he was inspired by early 20th-century research on nutrition's role in dental health, which shaped his holistic philosophy.
Dr. Lin’s PACE-accredited Dental Nutrition course has educated healthcare professionals in Australia and the UK. As a speaker and educator, he promotes the mouth-body connection, aiming to reduce preventable dental conditions in future generations. His work continues to influence both clinical practice and public understanding of oral health.
