Smile Essentials Dental Clinic

We’ve been here at Laxmi Niwas for a while now. It’s on Hindu Colony Road No. 4 in Dadar. You know how it is in Dadar, always busy outside, but once you step inside the clinic, it’s a bit quieter. My name is here on the door and we spend most of our mornings getting the instruments ready and checking the schedule. It isn't a huge place, just a few chairs and some cabinets where we keep all the files. We see people from the neighborhood mostly, folks who live in the nearby buildings or walk over from the station. The fan hums in the corner and sometimes we have the radio on low. It's just a regular workspace where we handle teeth stuff every day. Usually, we're here from morning until the evening rush starts. It’s a plain office, nothing fancy or shiny. We have some plants by the window that I try to keep alive, though they don't always look great. People come in with their problems, sit for a bit in the waiting area, and then we do what needs to be done. It’s a job like any other, really. We just try to get through the day and help the people who walk through the door at plot no 114. Sometimes the tea guy comes by and we take a quick break. That's pretty much the vibe here. We don't do much talking about ourselves, we just get on with the work.
