Have you ever witnessed an old man who sits on a dentist’s chair and says “Pull all my teeth out. I shouldn’t be eating from now on. I have two orphaned grandchildren, they should eat instead of me.”? Having witnessed that incident, Dentist Canan Aydın’s life changed as of that moment. So did the lives of hundreds, even thousands of people living in Isparta. The man who sat in her chair and told her to pull all his teeth out, because he could not afford to take care of his orphaned grandchildren and wanted them to eat instead of himself was the father of a martyr. She choked back her tears. That is when Dentist Canan Aydın set her mind to become a helping hand for those in need.
