New Rochelle Kids Dental

New Rochelle Kids Dental is a dedicated pediatric dental practice located at 77 Quaker Ridge Rd, New Rochelle, NY 10804. The clinic is led by Dr. Moonsun Kim, a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. She completed her two-year pediatric dental training at Interfaith Medical Center and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, holding memberships in professional organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association. The clinic’s philosophy revolves around establishing a trusting and lasting relationship with children and their families. Their mission is to provide personalized, high-quality dental care in a supportive and nurturing environment, emphasizing early prevention and proper oral health education. The practice follows the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry to establish a "dental home" for children by one year of age, promoting routine and preventive care over emergency visits. New Rochelle Kids Dental is designed to be a comfortable and welcoming space for children. The office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including digital x-ray and imaging equipment, which reduces radiation exposure and eliminates the need for harmful film development chemicals. The practice is also "paperless" and environmentally friendly. Notably, the clinic does not use mercury fillings. The staff is trained to use pleasant, non-frightening language to help children overcome apprehension. Parents are invited to stay with their child during the initial examination, and for subsequent appointments, they can choose to be present or allow the staff to build rapport with the child independently. The clinic offers flexible hours, including some Saturday appointments, to accommodate family schedules.
