Trudy Lin is a dentist but also an activist – and her primary measure of success is ensuring everyone has the capacity to eat, speak and smile. Trudy is one of only a handful of special needs dentists in Australia but she says the need in this underfunded area is huge. She makes a compelling case for oral health care as a human rights issue – as she puts it, she wants to create a world where a smile is no longer a barrier to feeling accepted, finding a job, and living to your full potential. For the 2022 Young South Australian of the Year, her professional passion comes from a very personal place. She joins us today.
