Providing Exceptional Dental Care in Nantwich

Autism Friendly Practice

We are a autism friendly dental practice. We understand that going to the dentist can be a very stressful experience for those on the autism spectrum. At Riverside Dental we aim to make all dental appointments as stress free as possible for both the patient and the carer.

Below you can find some useful information that can help prepare the patient for the dental appointment. You can also take a look at our storyboard that we have specially created to reduce stress and to enable patients to understand exactly what is to be expected at the time of the appointment or visit.

Rachele Morgan is our Autism champion and is on hand if any patient requires any assistance.

 Dementia Friendly Practice

At Riverside Dental, we are proud to be a dementia friendly dental practice. We understand that visiting the dentist can become increasingly challenging for people living with dementia, as well as for their families and carers.

Our team is committed to providing compassionate, patient-centred care in a calm and supportive environment. We take the time to understand each patient’s individual needs and adapt appointments wherever possible to ensure a comfortable and positive experience.

We recognise that dementia can affect memory, communication, confidence and routine. Our team aims to make dental visits as straightforward and stress-free as possible by working closely with patients, family members and carers throughout their care journey.

Our Dementia Champion

Chloe Greenbank is Riverside Dental’s Dementia Champion and is available to provide support, guidance and assistance for patients, families and carers. If there is anything we can do to make your visit easier, please let us know before your appointment.

If you or a loved one is living with dementia, we encourage you to contact our team before your visit. This allows us to understand any specific requirements and make appropriate arrangements to ensure your appointment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
