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.
