Pearl Dental Centre

Arun Vihar is a quiet enough place, and that’s where we are at number 1545 in Sector 37. Noida gets pretty busy, but this corner feels a bit more settled. I usually get here around nine, open up the shutters, and start the kettle. The waiting area isn’t huge, just some chairs and some old magazines that people actually read sometimes. Being in a dental centre means you hear a lot of the same sounds all day, like the water running and the chair moving up and down. We’ve been at this address for a while now. Patients come in from around the neighborhood, some walking over from the nearby blocks. It’s mostly just routine stuff like checkups and fillings. The lighting in here is quite bright, which you need for this kind of work. Sometimes the traffic outside gets loud, especially when people are rushing home in the evenings. We keep the patient files in these big metal cabinets that have seen better days. It’s not a fancy place with marble floors or anything like that. It’s just a regular clinic where people come when their tooth hurts or they need a cleaning. We know most of the people who walk through the door by their first names. It’s a job like any other, keeping things clean and making sure the equipment is ready for the next person who sits in the chair. The day usually ends with a lot of tidying up before heading back home.
