About Shine Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry

Shine Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry provides dental care on West Union Hills Drive in the Arrowhead Ranch area of Glendale, Arizona. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

What does a paediatric dentist do differently?
They complete additional training focused on children — how teeth develop, how to manage anxiety and behaviour in the chair, and conditions specific to young patients. The practical difference is usually as much about handling the visit as the treatment itself.
How do I stop my child getting cavities?
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, supervising until they have the dexterity to do it properly, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear during the day. Frequency of sugar matters more than the total amount.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

This office was recommended to us by a friend. We were out of town visiting for a funeral and we had an emergency situation, my son fell on a furniture piece and busted his teeth The office fit us in right away. It was the best experience. We were greeted with smiles. They were so very helpful. Anyone who has children and needs a good pediatric dentist Go here you won’t be sorry.

Shine exceeded my expectations even after hearing great things from the friend who recommended them for my daughter. The staff are friendly. The Dentist we met with was both knowledgeable and informative. There is so much for kiddos to do to make them excited to go to dental appointments. Exceptional play areas and prizes. Truly the best pediatric dental office I have ever seen.

Love taking my kids here. My son (only 2.5) of course struggles with the exam but they make it as smooth as possible that I really don’t dread it, I enjoy it too. My son loves getting a ball afterwards. Dr. Tinker and all staff we have interacted with have been wonderful. We were referred here by Dr. Navaratte at Cactus Children’s. It’s really nice having 2 great experiences for my kids, right next to each other.

Shine has exceeded my expectations for a pediatric dental office. Everyone is friendly and great with my daughter. She looks forward to visiting the dentist and I feel that Dr. Tinker and his staff truly have her best interest at heart. I never worry that they are recommending unnecessary treatments or interventions and I feel so lucky to have that peace of mind in regards to my daughter’s oral health and wellbeing!

Got braces as an adult and have had the absolute best experience with Shine and Dr. Jon. Everyone is always SO kind. They are incredibly understanding and willing to go the extra mile. Still have chosen to go back after 10 years to get minor things with my retainers fixed. So grateful to have found Shine!
