Mr Joshua C. Reid,

Dr. Joshua C. Reid was born and raised in St. George, Utah. As a lifelong patient at Riverside Dental Care, he is honoured to now serve the same community that helped shape his passion for dentistry. From a young age, Dr. Reid was drawn to medicine—he even dressed up as a dentist for Halloween when he was seven. But it was a personal experience in his teenage years that inspired him. After chipping his front tooth, he was treated by Dr. Stevens at Riverside Dental Care, whose expert care restored more than just his smile. Dr. Reid similarly aims to help all of his patients achieve a smile they are proud of. Dr. Reid earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Brigham Young University before pursuing his dental degree at LECOM School of Dental Medicine in Florida. There, he received extensive training with a strong emphasis on patient-centred care. One of the most meaningful moments in his dental education came while serving an underserved community. Dr. Reid helped transform the life of a man who had been homeless for years and battling addiction. The years of substance abuse caused tremendous damage to his oral health and this patient was ready to change. After extensive surgeries, full mouth extractions, and new dentures, he had a new smile and more confidence than ever. Providing dental care for underserved communities in Florida further reinforced his commitment to compassionate, personalised treatment for every patient.
