Sheetal Dental Clinic

Our dental clinic is tucked away in Sheetal Nagar, not too far from the Western Express Highway in the Ghartan Pada area of Dahisar. You can usually hear the hum of the highway traffic if you listen closely, but we’ve mostly tuned it out by now. The clinic isn't very large, but we’ve managed to fit everything we need into the space. We have the main chair and all the tools laid out on the trays. Every morning begins with checking the autoclave and making sure all the mirrors and probes are clean and ready. The floor is a light tile that shows every bit of dirt, so we are constantly mopping it. People from the local apartment buildings around Ghartan Pada usually stop by in the evenings after they get off work. We have a small desk where we handle the billing and book the next visits. The light in the room is quite bright because we need to see what we are doing, but it can feel a bit clinical. We keep a few plants in the corner to try and make it feel more like a home, though they don't always get enough sunlight. It is a simple job, really—just looking at teeth and helping people feel a bit better. We aren't part of a big chain, so it's just us here most days, managing the schedule and seeing whoever comes in with a toothache or a broken filling.
