Parashar Dental Clinic

This dental clinic is located in Kallo Ka Maholla, which is part of Badi Basti. It’s a very local neighborhood with narrow streets and houses close together. We are right in the middle of it. You can hear the sounds of the neighborhood all day—kids playing, people talking, and the occasional motorbike squeezing through. Our clinic isn't very large. We have the dental chair in one room and a small space for people to wait. It can get a bit cramped if three or four people show up at the same time. The walls are painted a light color to make it feel bigger. We spend a lot of time cleaning the tools and making sure everything is ready for the next person. Most of our patients live just a few houses away. They walk over when they have a toothache. It’s a community feel. We don't have a receptionist, so we just come out and talk to whoever is waiting when we’re done with a patient. Sometimes the electricity goes off and we have to pause for a bit. We know everyone’s name and their family history. It’s just how things work in Badi Basti. If you’re coming to Kallo Ka Maholla, you’ll find us easily by asking anyone around. We’ve been here for quite some time now, fixing teeth and chatting with neighbors.
