Dr. Elizabeth Kain grew up in Kennebunk, Maine, where her love of the outdoors, close-knit community, and hands-on creativity first took shape. She believes that great dentistry begins with great communication and enjoys listening, building trust, and explaining care in a way that empowers each patient.

Outside the office, Dr. Kain spends her free time hiking, paddle boarding, practicing yoga and pilates, and cooking. She has a creative streak that runs through pottery, crochet, and wood carving. When she’s not working on a craft project, she’s rewatching The Lord of the Rings or working through a good book.

Travel is another great love. Ireland holds a special place in her heart and an African safari sits at the top of her bucket list. As a kid, she dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer, and that fascination with the natural world has never left her. “You can always find something amazing if you look closely.”

Dr. Kain finds the most joy in her dog Poppy, spending time with nature, good food, and laughing with friends. Her goals are simple and grounded: live a comfortable life in a place she loves, nurture lasting friendships, and making a positive difference in the lives of her patients.

One last thing: ask to see a picture of Poppy and you’ll make her day.
