They focus on individualized care, tailoring treatment plans based on each child's age, medical history, extent of treatment needed, and anxiety level. The staff is specially trained to work with children, including those with complex medical conditions or special needs, ensuring a patient and understanding approach to care. Riverside Pediatric Dentistry aims to not only treat existing dental issues but also to educate parents and children on proper oral hygiene practices and nutrition to prevent future problems.
