About This Provider
Dr. Gary Kushner is a dentist with 20 years of experience who specializes in keeping children's teeth healthy and strong. Rather than waiting for families to visit his office, Dr. Kushner brings dental care directly to schools throughout Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, where he works with hygienists to screen children and apply protective sealants that stop tooth decay before it starts. As the Dental Director for Mecklenburg County and a leader in the state's dental sealant program, he believes that tooth decay is completely preventable when kids get the right care early. Dr. Kushner is known for making dental visits fun and comfortable for children—he uses a cheerful voice and calls the curing light a "special magic light" to keep kids engaged and calm during their appointments.
