Tip: Wetting it after helps spread the paste more easily and creates better foam for a thorough clean. But both ways work, what matters most is brushing for 2 full minutes!

Dr. Lau shares that when it comes to his own son’s dental health, he keeps drinks simple — water, whole milk, and yogurt drinks like Yakult. As both a dentist and a self-proclaimed food nerd, he’s noticed something interesting:

🌍 Cultures that consume more dairy and fewer candies/refined carbs often have fewer cavities.

A small shift in what we drink and eat can make a big difference in protecting our smiles! 😁

Our Story

Dr. Matthew Lau was born and raised in Alameda, CA. He went to Alameda High, played in the band, and learned jujitsu. He was the kid that swore never to be a dentist...he was the nerd that loved technology.

He left Alameda to go to UC Davis on a Regent’s Scholarship as a computer engineer, but soon was called to dentistry after a Missions trip in Mexico. He got into the University of California School of Dentistry in San Francisco with the intent to help people.

After graduating dental school with an award in craniofacial pain management, Dr. Lau worked all across Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Mateo. He did extensive training in dental implants and earned his fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantology under Dr. Carl Misch. He was on the board of directors with the Alameda County Dental Society. He served with the Berkeley free clinic. He was the webmaster for the Northern California Asian American Dental Association.

When he had the chance in 2014, he bought a practice....to return to Alameda...to return home. Dr. Lau passionately seeks the bleeding edge of quality of care. He obsessively searches for the best techniques and approaches from multiple disciplines and multiple countries. He is obsessed with quality control, and dreams about dentistry.
