Why Did You Decide to Become a Pediatric Dentist?
Dr. Ramlal always knew she wanted to work in the healthcare field. After talking extensively with her childhood dentist during her senior year in high school, she realized dentistry would give her the perfect mix where she could practice medicine without having to be away from her loved ones.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Ramlal studied at Baylor College of Dentistry, graduating with her dental doctorate in 1990. She was later accepted into a one-year program of Advanced Education in General Dentistry with the United States Army. Upon the completion of the residency program, she served the dental needs of U.S. servicemen and women (and their dependents) in both Oklahoma and Germany for several more years before leaving the military.
Following the years she spent providing dental services in the Army, Dr. Ramlal went on to practice family and cosmetic dentistry in Irving, TX for seven years before deciding to join our pediatric dental office. Today, she is very experienced in caring for children of all ages, including teenagers and young adults. As a proud mother with four children of her own, she is definitely skilled at accommodating the needs of younger patients and helping them feel genuinely comfortable!
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Ramlal’s family keeps her very busy when she isn’t at Barefield Pediatric Dentistry. She loves creating wonderful times and new experiences with her loved ones, and she even earned the prestigious title of “Grammy” for the first time in 2024. In her free time, she enjoys reading, listening to live music, gardening, and being an active member of her church community. Spending time outdoors is always a must for her, and she’s excited about satisfying her travel cravings and exploring new cultures whenever possible.
