Dr. MANUJA KATUWAL
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I promise not to drill you too much—unless, of course, you ask about cavities!
I'm Dr. Manuja Katuwal, a dental surgeon with 5 years of experience in Nepal. After spending years helping patients keep their smiles healthy, I've decided to create this platform to stay connected with people like you, even as I prepare to further my dental education in the USA.
This website is my way of continuing to serve and support my community. It's free of charge because everyone deserves access to good dental advice, whether you need help with a pesky toothache or just want to know if you're brushing correctly (spoiler alert: most of us aren't).
I may be across the world soon, but my commitment to helping you maintain your oral health is as strong as ever. So, feel free to ask questions, seek advice, or just stop by to learn something new. Your smile is still my priority, no matter where I am.
