A small cavity ignored today becomes a root canal or extraction tomorrow. At Dr. Liwo Dental Clinic in Ngeme, Limbe, we help you protect your teeth before damage happens. Affordable, fast, and stress-free.
Most people only visit the dentist when something hurts. By that point, a small problem has already become a big and expensive one.
Cavities do not announce themselves. They grow silently under the surface until one day you feel that sharp pain and suddenly you need a filling, a crown, or worse, an extraction.
At Dr. Liwo Dental Clinic, we catch decay early. We clean the buildup your toothbrush cannot reach. We identify weak spots in your enamel before they turn into holes. And we teach you exactly what to do at home to keep your teeth strong between visits.
Two visits a year is all it takes to avoid most of the dental problems that cost people serious money and serious pain down the road.
Prevention is not a luxury. It is the cheapest dental treatment you will ever invest in.
Yes, and here is why. Even if you brush and floss every day, plaque builds up in areas your toothbrush cannot reach. Over time that plaque hardens into tartar which only a professional cleaning can remove. Without regular cleanings, tartar leads to cavities and gum disease. We recommend coming in at least twice a year.
Absolutely. Most cavities and gum problems have no pain in the early stages. By the time you feel something, the damage is already done. A routine checkup catches problems while they are still small and easy to fix. Waiting until it hurts always means more time, more money, and more discomfort.
We start by examining your teeth and gums for any early signs of decay or disease. Then we remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces and between the teeth. We finish with a polish that leaves your teeth clean and smooth. The whole process is gentle, quick, and completely painless for most patients.
Every three months or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush does not clean properly and can actually scratch your gums. If you have been sick, replace it immediately. A soft bristle brush is what we recommend for most patients.
The most common early signs are gums that bleed when you brush, gums that look red or swollen, and persistent bad breath. In later stages you may notice your gums pulling away from your teeth or teeth that feel loose. If you have any of these signs, do not wait. Come in as soon as possible because gum disease gets worse quickly if left untreated.
