Children's Dentistry in Park Ridge

"Dr. T is the most incredible pediatric dentist! My kids went from hating the dentist to look forward to go!"

"Dr. T is absolutely amazing. After having gone to two pediatric dentists who didn't make us feel comfortable about putting our 3 year old under general anesthesia for dental work we found ourselves in one of the worst situations. Hoping the baby teeth would fall out and the cavities wouldn't get worse (horrible decision), we put this off as long as we could. Once my son told us his tooth was bothering him we knew we had to act fast. Dr. T was able to get us in on very short notice as I explained my son's situation. She was so good with him as was her entire team. She took the time to explain everything to us, was not pushy or judgemental, and made us feel at ease with the procedure that had to be done. She gave us enough time to make the decision on where we felt more comfortable getting the dental procedure done. She makes herself available at all times and really cares about her patients. We ended up choosing to have the dental work done at Children Luries with her and a team of fantastic pediatric anesthesiologists. Everything went so smoothly and I cannot be more grateful. I feel so lucky that we found her and I cannot recommend her enough. Truly one of a kind pediatric dentist!"

"Dr. Tehemina (Dr. T) & her team go above & beyond in caring for her young patients. We are so grateful to have her as part of our daughter's care team. She amazes us with her kindness, compassion, patience, knowledge. She's stepped up to the plate on numerous occasions in treating our daughter, and never disappointed. Both Dr. T and her dental assistants and office personnel seek to help and solve problems, and when not able to they try to provide other resources. We highly recommend this practice for all dentistry needs. Thank you Dr. T & team for a GREAT job; keep up the good work!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Richardson. Our son had an injury at school on a Friday afternoon. Although her office was closed- she met us at the office to take care of him. She is great with patients, has great patient rapport and our son adores her. I hated everything about going to the dentist as a kid- Dr. Richardson has made sure that this is not the case for our child."

"Dr. Tehemina is the BEST! She is so great with children. Her team are all so kind and comforting. My son had a cavity filled and I was so nervous! But Dr. T made the whole process calm, easy, and even a bit fun for him! She also called that evening to check in on him which was really nice. My son has nothing but positive feelings about going to the dentist. I highly recommend this practice!"
