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.

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
My twins love Slimdental. All the dentists and staff are super nice, patient with my kids and do a fantastic job! Highly recommend
The clinic is truly wonderful. The staff is very polite and professional, and they took the time to explain everything in detail, which I really appreciated. Dr. Kim was especially attentive and caring — she made sure we understood every step and answered all our questions with patience. Most importantly, my son felt safe and comfortable throughout the visit, which means a lot to me as a parent. The overall atmosphere of the clinic is warm, welcoming, and reassuring 😍
What my daughter loves about this place is the options of toothpaste. lol. What I love about it, is the thoroughness of explanation. They take their time. They talk to the kids. They show so much love and care. They make a scary experience fun. My son loves the TV option. lol
They were wonderful with my 2 year old! Would recommend to anyone!! The dentist can be a stressful experience, but somehow my kid had fun and the whole office was so warm and inviting!
My two young grandchildren go to Slim Dental for their dental care. The staff are caring professionals. They are great at making little kids feel comfortable during their exams and procedures. When a four year old and a two year old look forward to a dentist appointment, you know the staff are doing things right!
Dr. Kim was absolutely amazing with my daughter, Madison. She was so gentle and patient every step of the way. Madison didn’t feel the needle or even hear the drilling — it was incredible how comfortable and calm she felt throughout the entire visit. Choosing gas was definitely the right decision, and Dr. Kim made sure she felt completely safe and relaxed. I’m so grateful for the care, kindness, and skill Dr. Kim and her team showed us. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a dentist who truly knows how to make kids feel at ease!
Dr. Walsh is an amazing pediatric dentist with magic hands ! She’s gentle, kind, and truly great with kids. Her entire team is warm, professional, and makes every visit a positive experience. Highly recommend Dr. Walsh and her wonderful staff!
