Services
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child visit a pediatric dentist within 6 months of the eruption of your child's 1st tooth. Early examination and preventive care will protect your child's smile now and in the future. At this visit, you will hold your child in your lap and Dr. Avni Rampersaud will examine the mouth to make sure the teeth and gums are developing normally. We will discuss proper hygiene. In addition, we will address fluoride supplementation, healthy diet, finger or pacifier habits, and dental trauma.
Brush your child's teeth daily as soon as they start to grow in. We all know this can be a struggle, but just like any hygiene routine, it is a struggle you must win!. Try sitting on a bed or sofa and and cradling your child's head in your lap. That way you have better vision and control. Sing a song- ABC's for the top and Twinkle Twinkle for the bottom.
The scheduled appointment is reserved specifically for your child. As a courtesy, our office will attempt to contact you for confirmation 1-2 days prior to your child's appointment. However, we do ask that the parents/guardians assume responsibility for their child's appointment time. If a 24 hour notice is not given, a fee will be charged.
If your child has an accident, please call our office as soon as possible. If it is an after-hours emergency, a pager number for the doctor-on-call will be given on the answering machine. If a permanent tooth is knocked out of the mouth, locate the tooth, as soon as possible. Please do not scrub the tooth under water.
If the procedure was in the upper jaw. the teeth, lip and surrounding tissue will be numb or asleep. Often, children do not understand the effects of local anesthesia, and may chew, scratch, suck, or play with the numb lip, longue, or cheek. These actions can cause minor irritations or they can be severe enough to cause swelling and abrasions to the tissue.

We are so grateful to neighbors who referred us to Chapel Hill Pediatric Dentistry when we moved to the area a few months back. The whole practice is thoughtfully kid-centered from intake forms (great questions for parents) to prize baskets, and their COVID-19 protocols are very reassuring. Our three patients aged 7, 10, and 12 couldn't give more positive reviews.
From reception to cleaning to consultation, each member of Dr. Rampersaud's team was positive, professional, friendly, and very encouraging of good dental hygiene. For each of our children, we got detailed analysis of X-rays and assurances all is on track developmentally as well as advice for how to continue with home dental practices. Add Chapel Hill Pediatric Dentistry to the list of many reasons we are thankful to be here!

I've been taking my boys for the past 6 years, and have had nothing but positive experiences. Efficient communication; up-to-date user-interface; friendly hygienists; Dr. Avni's straightforward and thorough. My boys are still small, but I see teenagers in the waiting room. some indicator of loyalty!

We absolutely love this office. From the front desk staff to our hygenist to Dr. Rampersaud herself, we feel very well taken care of. In particular, it definitely feels like all practice staff take an interest in getting to know our family. I never thought our kids would look forward to going to the dentist (I never did), but they do! Thank you for your excellent care.

Chapel Hill Pediatric Dentistry is the best in the area! Their staff and Dentist is so great with their bedside manners for kids AND great skill! This is the third dentist we've tried with the kids and the left wanting to go back! They've had to pull a tooth, several fillings, etc. and both my six and eight year older have done great! I can't say enough about how great they are.
Keep in mind my six year old didn't even want a teeth cleaning the first time he visited. They matched and paced with him and got him comfortable to the point of eventually having to pull a tooth visits later.

Dr. Avni and her staff were incredible with my children. She took all the time they needed to feel comfortable and to trust her. She did exceptional work. They even called to check on my children twice post appointment. Her office is welcoming and happy. Her staff is kind and attentive. I couldn't imagine using anyone else!

Dr Rampersaud and her team have always been amazing when it comes to my child's dental needs. However, in times of Covid-19, I am particularly impressed. Their service and knowledge is still top-notch, but I have been especially pleased with their safety protocols and the care with which they run their practice. When I called prior to my child's appointment, voicing my hesitation about coming in for our visit, the receptionist explained, in detail, the measures they take to keep everyone safe and healthy during their appointments.
My expectations were set on the phone and I was not disappointed when we arrived. I am so thankful that I can trust Chapel Hill Pediatric Dentistry to get it right, no matter the circumstances!

We have had three excellent experiences so far with Dr. Avni Rampersaud and the team of hygienists in her office. She and her staff are SO warm and patient with toddlers! Our 3 year old son actually had fun on his most recent visit to her office in Aug 2020 (impressive considering that he is wary of haircuts or the pediatrician's office); they were able to do a thorough cleaning and exam. Very clean office and safe practices. The front desk staff has been helpful when I need to reschedule or have questions. We have total confidence in Dr. Avni and her team.

Such an amazing dentist! Staff is always so friendly. My youngest has autism and they are absolutely so accommodating and helpful! They are so great with him! Wanted to add- My son came in hating the dentist and was terrified for anyone to look in his mouth! This office has been outstanding in helping him feel more comfortable! He is now able to sit in the chair and get his teeth cleaned! Such a great feeling! We drive an hour to this office and I wouldn't change it for anything! So thankful for these amazing ladies!
