"We had our first appointment at the clinic yesterday. We are very grateful that I was able to get through by phone at 9:50 a.m. They answered right away. We had a complicated and urgent situation, and they agreed to see us without an appointment. We didn't have to wait long inside. The doctors are very good. Thank you all for being able to see us so quickly."
Meet Dr. Yury Slepak: Expertise You Can Trust
When it comes to your child's dental health, experience and credentials matter. Dr. Yury Slepak is a board-certified pediatric dentist with over 20 years of specialized experience. After graduating NYU College of Dentistry with Honors, he completed a rigorous pediatric residency at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.
This advanced training means Dr. Slepak has mastered caring for children of all ages, from infants getting their first tooth to teens. Parents often praise his gentle touch and friendly approach; he and our team know how to make kids laugh, feel safe, and even enjoy their dental visits.
As a father himself (and a Brooklyn local), Dr. Slepak treats every young patient like one of his own with patience, warmth, and genuine care for their well-being.
Our experience was great! Doctor was amazing, he explained everything he would do with my child. It was her very first appointment and she wasn't scared at all. I highly recommend this office.— Ekaterina Shergunova
Special Needs Dentistry, In Office or in the Hospital
Some children need more than a standard visit, and the office is set up for that. Routine care can include extra time, sensory-friendly tools, and visual schedules. Children with stronger anxiety can be treated in the office with nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. When a child needs extensive work, or cannot be treated comfortably in the chair, Dr. Slepak schedules care at a certified hospital, where a pediatric anesthesiologist administers and monitors general anesthesia while our team completes the treatment. Extended appointments, quiet rooms, and pre-visit familiarization sessions help your child get used to the office before anything happens.
"It was the first time my son on the autism spectrum relaxed during a dentist checkup, he was comfortable and the staff was amazing."
"I want to say that Dr. Yuriy Slepak, the anesthesiologist, and the entire team did an amazing job. Thank you so much for the excellent care and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. We felt truly supported. I highly recommend them to everyone. Choosing this doctor for my daughter was the best decision we made."
Calm Visits for Nervous Kids
A lot of kids walk in nervous, and that's normal. Our dentists explain each step in plain words before it happens and introduce the tools so nothing feels like a surprise. You are welcome to stay in the room the whole time. We go at your child's pace, with toys, videos, and plenty of praise along the way. When anxiety runs high, laughing gas is available, and for severe cases we talk through mild sedation first. Most of the time, a calm and patient approach is all it takes.
"My son was over the top because he was getting a filling in his Cavity but the doctor was Amazing and his assistant. My son was soooooo scared they made him feel safe. I love that they were not annoyed by his behavior being scared and over the top"

Zumrad HonimkulovaFrequently Asked Questions
When should I start taking my baby to the dentist?
We recommend starting at age 1 or as soon as the first tooth erupts. Dr. Slepak recommends checks every 6 months from that point so we can assess jaw growth, teeth alignment, eruption patterns, and oral habits like thumb-sucking early on.
What is an appropriate diet for my child?
A daily diet should include the major food groups of meat/fish/eggs, vegetable/fruit, bread/cereal as well as milk and other dairy products for proper tooth development.
When do babies go to the dentist for the first time?
By age 1, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. At that first visit we evaluate eruption patterns and oral habits, and give parents personalized oral hygiene education.
Can my child's diet affect their dental health?
Absolutely. A balanced diet helps teeth develop appropriately. A diet high in sugar and other carbohydrates may increase the probability of tooth decay.
How long does it take for back teeth to come through?
It differs for every child. We track eruption patterns during development checks with photos, X-rays, and growth charts. Typically around age 6 children start losing their first tooth.
How do I create a diet safe for my child's teeth?
Initiate a balanced diet and limit starch-based foods. Try replacing jelly with fresh fruit slices. All types of sugars can promote tooth decay.
What do they use to numb your mouth at the dentist?
We use numbing gels, laughing gas, and distraction techniques like storytelling. We introduce tools in a non-threatening way with praise and positive reinforcement.
Should I eliminate all sugar and starch from my child's diet?
Of course not. Many of these foods are important for your child's health. Starch-based foods are safer for teeth when eaten with an entire meal. Talk to our staff about your child's diet.
Can my child be seen the same day for a dental emergency?
Yes. We prioritize emergencies and aim to see patients the same day during business hours, and we take weekend emergency visits. Call (718) 998-2424 and we assess the urgency right away. After hours, leave a voicemail and we will follow up.
Is sedation safe for my child?
For mild anxiety we offer laughing gas in the office. When a child needs extensive work or cannot be treated comfortably in the chair, care happens at a certified hospital, where a pediatric anesthesiologist administers and monitors general anesthesia while our team treats the teeth.
Do you treat children with autism or other special needs?
Yes. We offer extended appointments, quiet rooms, sensory-friendly tools, and pre-visit familiarization sessions so your child can get used to the office first. Children who need it can be treated in a hospital setting instead.
Can a parent stay during the visit?
Yes, parents are welcome to stay. We explain each step in simple terms, introduce tools in a non-threatening way, and proceed at your child's comfort level.
