Melanie was very interested both personally and professionally with Nutrition and Dental Health. She was very fortunate to meet and listen to Dr Steven Lin the author of The Dental Diet. Mel now has his book. Dr Lin believes that nutrition and dental health go hand and hand. His program helps his patients solve the cause of dental disease. It merges dental nutrition, breathing, airway, and functional orthodontics and sleep health. The oral systemic link is clearer than ever.
Melanie returned very inspired and said it was one of the best conferences she had attended.
