York Kids Smile Pediatric Dentistry
Gentle Pediatric Dentistry in Yorkville
York Kids Smile is Dr. Rachel Margariti's pediatric dental practice in the Yorkville neighborhood of the Upper East Side. We care for kids from their very first tooth through the teen years, including children who feel nervous about the dentist and children with special health care needs. Every visit moves at your child's pace.
Dr. Rachel trained in a hospital pediatric dental residency, and she still teaches there as an attending. That shapes how the office runs. Appointments are calm and unhurried, with extra time for the kids who need it, and your family is welcome exactly as you are.

Meet Dr. Rachel Margariti
Hi, I'm Dr. Rachel! I opened York Kids Smile to give kids on the Upper East Side a calm, friendly place to take care of their teeth, especially the ones who get a little nervous or need some extra patience.
I trained as a pediatric dentist in a hospital residency and I still teach there. What I care about most is simple. I want your child to feel safe with me and actually want to come back. I'd love to meet your family!
From First Tooth to Teen Years
We cover the routine and the involved, from cleanings and sealants to fillings, crowns, and care for children with special health care needs. When a child needs extra comfort, sedation is available.
