She has been bitten and scratched by young patients with autism, but Assoc Prof Dr Ilham Wan Mokhtar, 42, remains committed to helping children with special needs receive the dental care they need.
Her motivation stems from a personal experience involving a cousin with autism who was struggling with an untreated toothache.
