Family Dental Clinic

You can find us at Shop No 3 in Zensar Chowk, which is right across from the More Supermarket in Kharadi. The spot is near the supermarket, so there is always a lot of activity outside. People are usually carrying groceries or waiting for rickshaws right near our front door. The clinic isn't very large. We have the main work area and a small section for the reception. The floor is a greyish color that is easy to keep clean. We have some plastic chairs in the waiting area; they are pretty easy to wipe down compared to the fabric ones. There is a small clock on the wall that is always a few minutes fast, but we never seem to fix it. We usually start the day around ten and stay until the evening. The sound of the traffic at Zensar Chowk is pretty constant, so we usually have a little radio playing in the background to mask the honking. We keep all the dental tools in these metal trays that we sterilize after every use. It’s a very routine way of living. Sometimes we run out of space for all the files, so they end up stacked on the edge of the desk. The neighborhood has changed a lot with all the new buildings, but we have stayed in this same shop for a good while. It's a humble spot but it works for what we need to do. We keep the kettle going for tea during the slow afternoons. Every now and then, we have to chase a stray pigeon away from the doorway.
