At Tatum Pediatric Dentistry, our mission is simple: to make dental visits fun for kids and stress-free for parents. Every child is treated with compassion, kindness, and respect because we believe in nurturing strong teeth and confident smiles.
A Place Kids Love
Imagine kicking back in the dental chair with a movie on the ceiling, Bluetooth headphones in place, and maybe a bit of laughing gas to help with any jitters. Our dental office is packed with kid-friendly amenities, including an iPad play area to keep young minds entertained while they wait. We also offer conscious sedation and general anesthesia to make sure even the most anxious patients have a comfortable experience.
Giving Back to Our Community
Dr. Guymon and our team believe in sharing smiles far beyond our dental office. From supporting local schools and athletic teams to contributing to missions, we’re proud to help our Scottsdale and Phoenix communities thrive.

He completed dental school in Maryland, specialty training in New York, and has been practicing dentistry in Phoenix since 2011.
He and his wife Rachel, who is also an AZ native, have been happily married for more than 15 years and have four beautiful daughters. He loves his family, his church, volleyball, music, nature, and being a pediatric dentist.

Dr. Marytza Rios

When not caring for patients, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their two boys. She loves cooking, practicing yoga, snowboarding, and exploring new restaurants with her family.
