About SLim Dental Kids
SLim Dental Kids is a pediatric dental specialty practice on York Avenue in Manhattan, founded and led by Dr. Stephen Lim. The practice operates as a children-only dental office rather than a general dental practice that occasionally sees kids — meaning the appointment experience, equipment scaling, and decor are all tuned for younger patients. Toys, silly sunglasses, ceiling-mounted TVs for distraction during procedures, and games in the reception area create the kid-friendly atmosphere that suits anxious children and first-time dental visits.
For routine pediatric care, the team handles cleanings and checkups with fluoride application, dental fillings using BPA-free and mercury-free resin, dental sealants for cavity prevention on molars, and pediatric dental exams. Restorative work covers tooth extractions when teeth need to be removed, plus space maintainers to preserve gaps for incoming permanent teeth. Dental bonding repairs chipped or cracked teeth from sports or playground accidents. Tongue-tie release (frenectomy) is offered for infants and toddlers whose tongue mobility affects feeding or speech development. Sedation dentistry options include nitrous oxide for anxious children and deep sedation for procedures that need a deeper level of comfort, alongside orthodontic options for kids whose alignment needs early attention.
If you live on the Upper East Side and want a children-specialty dentist with kid-tuned amenities and BPA-free, mercury-free materials, this fits.
Modern diagnostic tools including X-rays support the everyday workflow, with the materials-safety positioning suiting parents researching low-chemical-exposure pediatric dental care. The York Avenue location serves Upper East Side and Lenox Hill families, with appointment scheduling tuned for kids' school schedules. Searches that bring patients here include pediatric dentist on York Avenue NYC, kids dentist with sedation in Upper East Side, mercury-free pediatric dentistry in Manhattan, frenectomy tongue-tie treatment in NYC, dental sealants for kids in 10075, and orthodontics for children on UES.

Fantastic with kids! Great people throughout, 100 percent recommend as a dentist for your kids!
We saw Dr. Tracy Kim today and she was so patient and caring with our son, who has a strong gag reflex and sensitive to dental appts. The hygienists are always excellent. Would highly recommend.
The friendliest front desk staff!! And at 9am ! Thank you!!!
Dr. Naco was lovely and very affectionate with my daughter, just like all the staff who attended us. They have a lot of tact and are very professional with children. Thank you 🙏
Great service, great staff! Clean, pleasant environment. And my daughter loves the toys they give once she finishes her cleaning!
I love Dr. josh. He is smart, kind, humble. I have seen my son mature in the three years we have been going there from a scared 3 year old to maturing 6 year old. Dr. Josh never missed a best, never complained, never made me or my son feel bad. He was really wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. josh and slim dental in general.
Always a great experience. For my kids and me
Our family has been patients at Slim Dental Kids for the past five years for both routine dental care and orthodontic treatment, and our experience has consistently been excellent. The entire team is incredibly kid- and family-centered. Every staff member we have encountered has been friendly, courteous, professional, and efficient. They do a wonderful job helping children feel comfortable and at ease, while also keeping parents informed and involved in their care. Appointments are well organized, wait times are minimal, and the staff always take the time to answer questions and address concerns. It is clear that they genuinely care about their patients and strive to create a positive experience at every visit. A special shout-out to front desk specialists Marcela, Juliana, and Anita, and dental assistant Rita. Their warmth, kindness, patience, and professionalism have made a lasting impression on our family. Dr. Wu has provided truly outstanding care and has always taken the time to make our children feel comfortable and confident during their visits. Dr. Kim and Dr. Naco are pros at working calmly and swiftly and ensuring children feel absolutely no pain. Together, this wonderful team has consistently gone above and beyond to make our entire family feel welcome, cared for, and happy. We are very grateful for the exceptional care our children have received over the years and would highly recommend Slim Dental Kids to any family seeking outstanding pediatric dental and orthodontic care.
