Mehra Dental Clinic

Mehra Dental Clinic is situated on Kanpur Road in Lucknow, right across from Lal Hospital. Being opposite a big hospital means there’s always something happening outside our door. The traffic on Kanpur Road is almost never-ending, so there’s a constant hum of engines. Our place is tucked in there, a bit smaller than the buildings around us. We spend a lot of time cleaning the equipment and making sure the chairs are ready for whoever comes in next. It’s a dental clinic, so there’s that specific smell of cleaning supplies and whatever else we use. We’ve got a small window that looks out toward the road, but we usually keep the blinds halfway down to block the glare. People usually find us because they saw the sign while heading to Lal Hospital or they live in the nearby colonies. The floor is tile and it’s seen better days, showing some wear and tear from all the feet walking over it. We don't have fancy coffee machines in the waiting room, just a water cooler that sometimes leaks a little on the rug. It’s just a place to get your teeth looked at without a lot of fuss. Most of our day is spent leaning over chairs and talking to patients about their day while we work. It’s a steady life here in Lucknow. We keep the doors open and do what needs doing.
