Gurvinder Kaur, MDS
Please take a moment and let us know how your experience was.
REVIEW USDr. Kaur believes in providing inclusive care to her patients and keeping herself up to date with the current developments in pediatric dentistry by attending continuing education programs and staying on top of new scientific literature. She can often be seen being an absolute goofball with her patients and looks forward to a good joke from her little patients.
Education and Continuing Education
Dr. Kaur graduated from the pediatric program at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine in New Jersey and completed a Master’s of Dental Science program there. Prior to moving to the US, she completed dental school and got a Master’s degree in Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, and practiced pediatric dentistry in hospitals and private practice settings in India for 8 years.
Besides providing dental care to healthy children, she was also heavily involved in the dental care of children with special health care needs with a special focus on children who required dental rehabilitation prior to bone marrow stem cell transplants and those with complications of such transplants.
She also held a full-time faculty position in the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry at SGT University, India for over 2 years. She was actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate clinical and didactic training and research projects. Her research interests include treatment outcomes in pediatric dentistry, pediatric endodontics, and restorative dental materials.
She was recently awarded the Richard C Pugh award for exemplary achievement on the May 2021 American Board of Pediatric Dentistry qualifying examination. She is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and a life member of the Indian Association of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry.
Outside the Office
In her free time, Dr. Kaur channelizes her inner Martha Stewart and can be found cooking up a storm in her kitchen. A coffee connoisseur and a self-proclaimed nerd, she spends a lot of time at coffee shops, reading with a cup of joe.
