Anand Dental Clinic

If you’re over in Tigris Colony near the Mother Dairy, you’ve probably seen Anand Dental Clinic at C150. We’re right there in the middle of the neighborhood. Teeth can be a real pain, so we spend most of our time looking at cavities and helping people who have toothaches. It’s not a very big place, just enough room for the dental chair and some equipment. The sound of the drill is pretty constant, which I know some people don't like, but that’s part of the job. We try to keep the atmosphere relaxed, though. We’ve got some old magazines in the waiting area and the air conditioner hums away during the Delhi summers. Being near Mother Dairy is helpful because everyone knows where that is. We see a lot of kids who are nervous about their first check-up and older folks needing some help with their dentures. It’s a mix of everything really. Our staff is local, so we end up talking about the neighborhood news while we work. The floors are white tile and we spend a lot of time mopping them to keep things clean. It’s a busy little spot, especially in the evenings when people get off work. We don't use any fancy talk or complicated systems. We just look at what’s wrong with someone’s teeth and try to fix it. It’s hard work, but someone’s got to do it. The sink is always running and the cabinets are full of supplies.
