Welcome to the Manhattan's Upper East Side pediatric dental practice

Dr. Sara Babich, DDS

The first dental visit for your child is designed to create a zone of comfort, safety, and fun. The goal is to have your child visit our pediatric dentistry office in NYC as early as possible in their tooth development to create a warm, inviting, anxiety-free first visit.

Acclimating your child to our NYC kids-friendly office and Dr. Sara’s gentle care is the key to future happy smiles. As a leading pediatric dentistry office, we understand that a young child can feel uncomfortable when introduced to strange surroundings. We turn this around to be a positive reinforcement as long as the parent is on board, by assuring the child that by the end of the first visit, no harm came to the child, he met nice people, played with new toys, and was made comfortable.

Experienced New York City pediatric dentist Dr. Sara encourages parents to bring the child for a visit at about 18 months old. We, of course, see any child at any time when there are particularly pressing issues or questions. However, do encourage non-adversarial, non-emergency visits. Following this protocol makes all other future visits much more pleasant and anxiety-free. Welcoming your child with our smiles is the formula for many future visits of happy and healthy smiles for years to come.

Our Upper East Side children’s dentistry practice has been welcoming young patients for two decades. Dr. Sara Babich, a university and hospital-trained specialist in pediatric dentistry, is committed and dedicated to providing comprehensive dental treatment for infants, children, adolescents, and special needs patients.

Testimonials Fantastic pediatric dentist! My 3 teens have been going to her since the beginning and they are cavity-free with beautiful healthy teeth. Dr. Babich is marvelous and her staff is professional, friendly and generous. She has all the latest technology (cool glasses, videos to distract kids during procedures, incentive toys for the little ones, even cool teenager gifts!) With Dr. Babich, going to the dentist is FUN! Karina Åberg My two boys (7 and 5) have been seeing Dr. Babich for years. I have found her consistently thoughtful in her suggested treatments, technically skilled, and a comforting presence for all involved. I asked my boys to provide something I could include in this review, and they both answered with a single word, "Awesome". As I believe is evident from the included photo, my 5 year old could not be more at ease and comfortable in her care. Steven Silverstein read all testimonials
