A Love for Dentistry as a Means of Helping People
I knew I wanted to be a dentist at a very young age. I grew up in my mother’s dental practice and started working in the front office filing records at age 12. Once I was older, I started working as her dental assistant and developed a love for dentistry and all it entails.
I believe that being a dentist is about helping people. It’s getting someone out of pain, restoring function, ensuring a smile is bright and healthy — and it’s about caring for the person as an individual. I appreciate the opportunity to serve my community and to get to know so many remarkable people.
Spending my days talking with, listening to, and learning about people’s lives is rewarding. Everyone has stories, experiences, and dreams to share and I learn about the world from these conversations. My patient family teaches me and, I think, makes me a better practitioner and individual.
In turn, I hope I show my patients that I care about them personally, and want only the best for them. I want people to take their oral health seriously, to understand the connection between oral and overall health, and to develop practices that lead to a lifetime of health and smiles!
Dental School, Continuing Education, and Professional Affiliations
I obtained my Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Dentistry. Dental school was rigorous and wonderful, and it gave me a solid foundational understanding of oral health: diagnosis, treatment, options, and outcomes.
However, like all areas of healthcare, dentistry is a constantly advancing field. Research leads to innovative technologies, development of new materials, and changes in methodologies. It is my responsibility to stay current on the latest developments and study new options.
I am an active member of the American Dental Association and Mississippi Dental Association. These organizations offer numerous avenues for me to learn from leaders in dentistry. Through continuing education (CE) — attending meetings, seminars, lectures, and reviewing publications — I stay abreast of changes. This ensures I am providing the highest level of dentistry, using an evidence-based approach, for the ideal treatment and outcome. My patients deserve the best, and with ongoing CE I strive to deliver it.
Beyond the Practice
I grew up in Cleveland, Mississippi, a small Delta town near the Mississippi River. I moved to the Jackson area for college and dental school and now live in Madison.
When I go home in the evening it’s to spend time with my family: I have two beautiful children, Olivia and Harrison, and a fur baby, Daisy. I love playing with my kiddos, hanging out with family and friends, and cooking, sewing, and exercising.

A Love for Healthy Smiles
Dentistry is a way of life for my family and me. My uncle was a dentist and my daughter is Dr. Trevor Tindle. I am so thankful to have a calling that allows me to use my God-given artistic abilities and concern for others in this way. Each of my patients has a friend in me and knows they can call on me in or outside of work.
I enjoy getting to know people from different walks of life. I am humbled by the trust they place in me and strive to exceed their expectations. Seeing a person’s reaction when we’ve finished a procedure, and it has made them feel better and improved their smile, is rewarding. I love the hugs I get when a patient is thrilled with their care experience and results.
It warms my heart to see my patients who want to stop by and visit even when they don’t have an appointment. They are my extended family. I have a personal as well as a professional commitment to each of them to provide the best dentistry has to offer.

This ensures my patients are provided with the most effective, up-to-date, and high-quality care.

Personal Life
I grew up in Shelby,Ms. and attended college at Delta State University. I moved to Jackson for dental school, then back to Cleveland where I practiced dentistry for 35 years at Tindle Family Dentistry. Dr. Trevor Tindle helped in my practice in all aspects until she obtained her Doctorate in dentistry. Now I am proud to be helping her in her dental practice. Tindle Family Dentistry has been serving our patients for over 30 years!
I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister. My husband Allen and I have been happily married since 1987. He teaches automotive service technology at Mississippi Delta Community College.
I come from a family of teachers: my husband, mother, and aunt all have taught. My father and grandfather were in the hardware business. My sister is an emergency room nurse. I am very proud that Dr. Trevor Tindle, my daughter, followed in my footsteps to become a dentist. We were the first mother-daughter team to graduate from the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Dentistry.
When I’m not working, I enjoy playing with my granddaughter and grandson, hanging around with Trevor, and camping with Allen. Allen and I have taken some awesome trips exploring national parks out West. My mother Philene and I enjoy walking together. My sister and I go to our Mom’s house for great food and family visits.. I love reading a good book, doing artwork, cooking, and outdoor activities. I have a sweet goldendoodle named Trixie.
Growing up, I had more than twelve years of piano and organ lessons, and used to be the organist and pianist for various churches. The piano I had as a child is still sitting in my home and I enjoy playing all types of music.
