Honestly, finding this pediatric dentist in Park Ridge was a game-changer for us. My son was so scared of dentists after a bad experience elsewhere that he wouldn't even go near the chair. Dr. Richardson and Lana have been incredible—they're so kind and professional, and now my kid actually looks forward to appointments. Couldn't be happier with the pediatric care here in Park Ridge, IL.

My son saw both Dr. Richardson and Dr. Davenport for exams and treatment in Park Ridge, and he had no complaints at all—actually liked visiting them. Even though we don't live in Park Ridge, they worked with me to get convenient appointment times, which I really appreciated. The after-treatment consultations with Dr. Richardson were super informative and sincere. For pediatric dentistry in the area, this place is definitely great.

This review's been a long time coming. My 8-year-old son, who's autistic, has been seeing Dr. Richardson for almost two years now over in Park Ridge. From the very start, she's been wonderful and caring every single appointment. Dr. Richardson is hands-down the best pediatric dentist I've come across in Park Ridge, IL—she just gets it.

Had a great experience with this dentistry in Park Ridge! They're genuinely thoughtful and never try to take advantage. Last year, my son hurt his tooth in a scooter fall, and a year later an infection meant he needed a root canal. Lana was incredibly helpful—answered all my questions thoroughly with honest advice. They even reviewed an X-ray from another office over the phone at no charge. It's rare to find a pediatric dentist in Park Ridge, IL that puts patient care first like this.

When my little guy showed signs of cavities, my pediatrician recommended Dr. T in Park Ridge, and it was the best decision. Everybody treats you so nicely, and Dr. T is always good at explaining everything—from what she'll do to how we can prevent things from getting worse. She's very understanding and listens, always putting the kids' well-being first to make it comfortable and safe. My kids love her for their pediatric dentistry in Park Ridge, IL.

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!

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.

We love everyone at Children's Dentistry. My daughter had severe dental anxiety when we first came to Dr T. She is so amazing with her and is so good at making her comfortable. A little extra tlc means so much to my daughter. She tells everyone how much she loves her dentist. We never feel rushed. Lana the receptionist is so sweet as well. So happy and thankful we found them.

We had such a wonderful experience with my almost 3-year-old daughter at this pediatric dentist in Park Ridge. She was a bit nervous about going to the dentist, but warmed up to the friendly staff right away. Dr. Richardson was so good with kids—explained everything in a kid-friendly way, eased her anxieties, and made the whole thing fun. Now my daughter can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this practice in Park Ridge, IL for little ones.

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!

Dr. T is awesome! Both of our children (ages 9 and 11) love going to the dentist. Due to orthodontic work, both of our children have needed to have teeth pulled. Our son had 5 and our daughter had 2 pulled. Dr. T made the process both painless and...dare I say...fun! I would recommend her to anyone. Lana in the front is also fantastic as she is extremely personable and finds a way to accommodate busy schedules.

We have been with Dr. Richardson since 2009. We have been through a potentially traumatic experience with my then six year old son, when he had to have two front teeth pulled. He ran into her office to see her, without a bit of fear. She has made the dentist a fun and safe place for my son to go. She's warm and bubbly and a top- notch pediatric dentist. I highly recommend her to everyone who asks me!

Dr Tehmina is one of the most competent and compassionate dentist I have come across in my entire life! Our 5 year old had a dental emergency which required immediate attention- her staff and herself made every possible effort to accommodate her treatment in a timely manner, while making sure they don’t compromise on the quality of care our daughter received. Lana is amazing and super helpful with scheduling appointments that worked for us. Truly amazing people.
