Dr. Kashmira Pawar is a highly experienced pediatric dentist with over 10 years of dedicated clinical experience in treating infants, children, and teenagers. She focuses on creating positive, stress-free dental visits where children feel safe, parents feel informed, and treatment is delivered with patience and precision.
Her approach is centered on prevention, early diagnosis, and behavior-guided care. Every child is different, and she adapts her communication and treatment style to match the child’s age, personality, and comfort level.
Educational Background and Clinical Training
Specialist Pediatric Training Focused on Children’s Dental Care
Dr. Kashmira Pawar’s clinical approach is shaped by advanced specialty education focused entirely on children’s oral health, growth, and preventive care. She completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from D. Y. Patil University, India, and went on to earn her Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), India. This formal postgraduate training is dedicated to understanding the dental, emotional, and developmental needs of infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents.
Her MDS program provided extensive clinical exposure in diagnosing and managing dental conditions at different stages of childhood. This allows her to plan treatment in a way that not only resolves current dental problems but also supports proper jaw growth, healthy eruption of permanent teeth, and long-term oral function.
Her advanced specialty training enables her to manage:
- Early childhood dental caries and nursing bottle decay
- Growth and development of teeth and facial structures
- Preventive pediatric treatments and risk-based care
- Pulp therapy for primary teeth
- Dental care for anxious, very young, and special needs children
This structured training helps her recognize dental issues at an early stage, often before they become painful or complex, allowing for more conservative and child-friendly treatment.
In addition to her clinical expertise, Dr. Kashmira is a published researcher, reflecting her commitment to evidence-based dentistry. She continuously updates her knowledge with modern pediatric dental protocols and global preventive guidelines so that every child receives scientifically proven and current care.
Certifications and Advanced Safety Training
Safety and emotional comfort are central to every pediatric dental visit. Treating children, especially those who are anxious, very young, or medically compromised, requires advanced clinical preparation beyond routine dental training.
Dr. Kashmira holds internationally recognized certifications in:
- Nitrous Oxide Conscious Sedation
- Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
- Basic Life Support (BLS)
Her certification in nitrous oxide conscious sedation allows her to help children remain calm and relaxed during dental procedures. Her PALS and BLS training ensures that she is fully prepared to handle pediatric medical emergencies with confidence and precision.

Dr. Kashmira creates a gentle, friendly environment where children feel safe, relaxed, and unhurried, helping them gradually build trust and confidence in dental care.
Dr. Kashmira is specially trained in:
- Behavior management techniques
- Tell–show–do communication
- Positive reinforcement methods
- Conscious sedation for anxious patients
These methods allow her to introduce treatment in a child-friendly and non-threatening way, using simple explanations and step-by-step guidance so children know what to expect and feel more in control.
This allows her to treat:
- Very young patients and fearful children
- Children with past dental trauma
- Children with a strong gag reflex
Her focus is not only on completing the procedure comfortably but also on ensuring that every child leaves with a positive experience and the confidence to return for future dental visits without fear.
