Biocompatible & Holistic Dentistry
At Shine Pediatric Dental Co., we believe your child deserves the most advanced and biocompatible materials available — designed not only to restore teeth but also to support their long-term health and development.
We offer modern, metal-free restorative options using three top-tier materials:
- EQUIA Forte® (glass hybrid restorative)
- Admira Fusion® (ceramic-based ORMOCER®)
- Ketac™ Nano (resin-modified glass ionomer)
Each of these materials is BPA-free, tooth-colored, and thoughtfully selected to match your child’s unique needs — whether they’re cavity-prone, undergoing orthodontic treatment, or need a gentle option for sensitive teeth.
Biocompatible Pulp Therapy with Biodentine®
At Shine Pediatric Dental Co., we believe that the best dental materials should work with the body—not against it. That’s why we use Biodentine®, a next-generation, bioactive dentin substitute designed to protect and heal the living dental pulp.
Unlike traditional pulp capping or base materials, Biodentine® is made from high-purity, monomer-free mineral ingredients that are both biocompatible and non-toxic to delicate pulp cells. Its unique composition creates an alkaline, healing environment that encourages the pulp’s natural ability to repair itself. Clinical research shows that Biodentine® reduces inflammation, helps regulate the balance between tissue inflammation and repair, and even promotes the transformation of immune cells toward a more healing-focused state.
By supporting the pulp’s natural vitality and reducing post-treatment sensitivity, Biodentine® allows us to preserve more of your child’s healthy tooth structure. It also avoids the concerns associated with traditional resin-based or staining materials, offering a clean, safe, and biomimetic approach to vital pulp therapy.
In simple terms—Biodentine® helps the tooth heal itself, while protecting it for the long run.
Why Biocompatible Fillings Matter in Children
Children’s teeth and bodies are still developing, so the materials we use should:
- Support remineralization
- Avoid unnecessary chemical exposure
- Offer gentle adhesion without aggressive drilling
- Protect against future decay
That’s why we avoid amalgam (silver) fillings and focus on minimally invasive, fluoride-releasing, and tissue-friendly materials instead.
Povi‑One™: A Fluoride-Free Option for Healthier Smiles
Looking for a fluoride-free way to protect your child’s teeth?
Povi‑One™ is an iodine-based oral rinse we offer as a gentle, effective alternative. It helps reduce cavity-causing bacteria and supports healthy gums — without using fluoride.
- Safe for young children
- First dose applied in-office
- 5 consecutive home applications
- Ideal for kids with higher cavity risk or families avoiding fluoride
- No adverse side effects
- No staining of teeth

This trusted formula uses povidone‑iodine, commonly used in hospitals, now adapted for pediatric dental care.
10% Povidone-Iodin interferes with bad bacteria's ability to stick to the tooth. Bad bacteria are responsible for many unhealthy oral outcomes like cavities, periodontal disease and bad breath.
