This book is a revelation! Whilst very much motivated by the need to deepen his understanding of the relationship between teeth health and diet, the author, dentist Dr. Steven Lin, gives us a fascinating account of how food, eating and teeth are interdependent, and dynamically determine our health at a much deeper level than previously imagined. By establishing certain basic dietary habits, we can not only strengthen and even heal our teeth but we can also honour the role that mouth health plays in our overall wellbeing (the oral-systemic link) and start to take care of our dental health with a much broader understanding of the impact a poor diet, and not just the consumption of too much sugar, can have.

Written in an easy-to-read and light, informative style, Dr. Lin introduces us to an entirely different way of thinking about our teeth, drawing on both ancient and modern wisdom to create a way of eating that is easy to follow and sustain, and which promises not only give us better teeth and oral hygiene but to dramatically improve our overall physical, mental and emotional health in the process.
