Seeing a dentist without losing a working day
Dispur is the seat of the state government, and for many people here the hardest part of dental treatment is finding the time. A tooth that starts aching on a Tuesday tends to be managed with painkillers until the weekend — which is how a straightforward root canal turns into a tooth that cannot be saved.
The clinic's timings help. It opens in the morning before most offices, stays open into the evening, and is open on Sunday as well, so an appointment either side of the working day is realistic.
Treatment is also planned so that visits are short and few. A root canal is often one appointment and a crown is two, and you are told the number of visits at the start so you can plan any leave.
