Dr. Rick Nichols, DDS - Pediatric Dentist
Pediatric dentistry is the most rewarding profession in the world. The difference I can make in a child’s life is fulfilling beyond words. I love it when a child who was once very fearful of the dentist gives me a huge hug and a smile at the end of the appointment! When a children take time to color me a picture, or send me a picture of themselves in their team’s uniform or ballet costume, it makes my day! I love what I do, and I love the children and the parents I serve.
I am so glad that God chose me, and directed me to be a pediatric dentist, 20 years ago. We have been providing great care in Redlands for those 20 years, and now we are excited to begin a new chapter here in Riverside!
