Honored to have been invited to speak at HealthFest at UCSD. Thank you, Sai Gundavelli.

Our mouth is a true window to our overall health, a mirror reflecting what is happening inside the body every second.

Oral health is not about brushing your teeth twice a day or visiting the dentist twice a year. It is about respecting the brilliant intelligence of the human body, nature's original biotechnology, by avoiding habits that sabotage it: brushing too hard, chasing "whiteness" with corrosive toothpaste, or disrupting the oral microbiome that keeps us alive and well.

True oral health is systemic health. The mouth connects to our gut, brain, and longevity pathways. This conversation belongs not only in dentistry but in medicine, neuroscience, and behavioral health.

Grateful to have joined this thought-provoking panel with:
Manish Sheth, MD, PhD, Psychiatrist and Neurologist, Founder and President of Headlight Health, Anastasia Chemeritskaya, MD, MHA, Founder of Lyrana, ECFMG-certified physician and longevity concierge clinician pioneering personalized integrative medicine for women, Srividya Sunderamurthy, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at ColigoMed, building AI-driven platforms that streamline care coordination and delivery for providers and health systems.

Together, we explored how oral health, brain health, and longevity intersect and how our daily habits either nourish or erode that connection.

Teeth whitening strips can be a smart choice. 🦷✨They are affordable, easy to find, and gentler than many “whitening” toothpastes that rely on abrasive particles that wear enamel.

What to watch for: overusing strips can irritate gums, and lower over-the-counter concentrations sometimes lift stains unevenly.

For deeper, more even brightening, in-office treatments use higher concentrations under professional care.

Questions about which option fits your smile and sensitivity level? Book a consult.

I am so excited to share one of my favorite products — vVardis. I am not a sponsor and I do not have any financial benefit from this. I just love what it does. It helps regenerate enamel by using a peptide that binds to the tooth surface and attracts calcium and phosphate from your saliva. Dark spots can improve and look tooth-colored again.

The best part: no injections, no drilling, and a pain-free experience.

If you want to know more, please DM me, call our office, or email us. I am happy to answer your questions. If you do not like needles or the drill and want gentle options for early cavities, this is an excellent choice.

Thank you GritDaily.com for spotlighting ZERObrush! ZERObrush is the future of oral care and represents years of design, testing, and clinical collaboration to help people keep their mouths healthier with less effort.
,
Join me in this mission to protect millions from preventable enamel damage and oral disease.

If you're a healthcare provider passionate about longevity I need you on this team.

We're looking for:
✓ Investors who see the bigger picture
✓ Thought leaders who understand prevention
✓ Supporters who want to make real impact

Why this matters: ZERObrush isn't just another oral care product. It's clinically proven to remove 2x more plaque in 30 seconds than manual brushes do in 60 seconds and 5x more plaque from hard-to-reach areas where disease starts.​

The science is clear: poor oral health drives chronic inflammation throughout the body, increasing the risk of multiple chronic conditions by 15%. We're not just fighting cavities we're fighting systemic disease.​

The opportunity: Help billions of people achieve better oral health, spend less on preventable dental disease, and reduce chronic inflammation that fuels conditions far beyond the mouth.​

This is about fundamentally transforming how we approach oral wellness. Custom-fit technology that delivers dentist-level cleaning at home, designed specifically to protect not damage your gums and enamel.​

Your expertise and support can accelerate this mission. Let's talk about how you can be part of this transformation.

⚠️ PSA from a cosmetic dentist: Abrasive powders plus peroxide can thin enamel and irritate gums. Please do not do this to your teeth. Safer teeth whitening options exist, and they are tailored to your specific tooth shade, sensitivity, and goals. We can help.

Reflecting on the journey — from nervous beginnings at Boston University's Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine to a thriving practice built on trust — I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. 🦷

Every day, I’m inspired to deliver not just good care but the very best, because my patients deserve nothing less.

To my mom, who steered me toward dentistry instead of architecture — thank you for helping me blend both worlds.

To my uncle, Happy Walia, for introducing me to UW, where I discovered the power of precision and got my first teaching job.

To my husband, Akash Pai — your love and sacrifice (selling Microsoft stock to fund my education and ZERObrush) will always stay with me.

To my brothers, Vrishab and Visham, and Chandni Trehan S — thank you for your love and inspiration.

To my mentors and supporters:
💡 Dr. Edward J. Zuckerberg
💡 Walter M. Turner, Ann Milligan, Patterson Dental, Dentsply Sirona, Dexis
💡 Olga, my rock in Palo Alto for two decades

When I faced gum recession from over-brushing, ZeroBrush became a new chapter in my journey.
Dreaming was easy. Making it real took a village.

Special thanks to:
💸 Javier Olivan
🙏 Judy Citron, Melinda Rogers-Hixon, Eric Hixon
🦷 Alex Anderson, Spencer Morse, Josaiah Clark, Mark Newsome, Peter Middleton
🌱 Chamath Palihapitiya, who opened the doors to Social Capital
🤝 P&G Ventures
⚙️ HP
🌟 NuFund Venture Group, Serhat Pala, Zeynep Ilgaz, Dr. Jo Polich, Dan Rosen

Now open in Del Mar, CA — with the Bay Area coming soon.
Thank you for helping me find my true calling. The best is yet to come. ✨
