Meet Dr. Rich Nehring

 Hi there! I’m Dr. Rich, a certified pediatric dentist in Great Falls.

I’ve been providing pediatric dental care and calling Great Falls home since 2019. I’m thrilled to be introducing you to my new practice, Mountain View Pediatric Dentistry.

I’m really just a big kid at heart, in the office you might catch me breaking into song, sharing a joke, or performing magic tricks. My goal is to provide the best pediatric care for your little ones by making every dental visit both comfortable and fun.

A bit about me. I grew up in a small town in Indiana, where I juggled sports, faith, early morning newspaper deliveries, and a passion for music. I played Division 1 football at Brigham Young University and graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2012.

While working as a general dentist for five years, I discovered my love for working with kids. I decided to pursue specialized training in pediatric dentistry through a two-year residency with NYU Langone Health in Hawaii. I had the honor of serving as chief resident and working with children at Shriners Children’s Hospital.

What I love most about being a pediatric dentist is the incredible joy and satisfaction that comes from making a difference in a child’s life. It’s deeply rewarding to see kids leave our office with smiles on their faces and to know that we’ve made their dental experience a positive one.

My greatest joy is my family—my wife, Lindsey, and our five amazing kids. We have chosen Great Falls as our forever home and love adventuring around Montana. When I’m not in the office, you might find me snowboarding at Showdown, coaching football and wrestling, attending theater productions, hunting in the fall, or mountain biking along the Missouri River Trails.

I can’t wait to meet you and your children and welcome you to the Mountain View Pediatric Dentistry family!

P.S. If you’ve made it this far, you rock!
