Dr. Jay Kim is a board-eligible pediatric dentist. She was born in Korea and moved to the Bay Area at a very young age.

Dr. Kim completed her undergraduate studies in 2 years and continued with the accelerated dental program at the University of the Pacific. She then went on to serve in the United States Navy as a Lieutenant and dental officer.

After Dr. Kim’s honorable discharge from the Navy, she decided to focus her dental practice on children. She wanted to be fully confident that she was providing the best services and treatment to her patients, so she committed to further learning in a pediatric dental residency program.

At Oregon Health and Science University, Dr. Kim learned to achieve clinical excellence and provide quality care catered to a child’s medical, psychological, and dental needs.

Dr. Kim focuses her care on prevention, minimally invasive techniques, and creating positive memories for children in the dental setting. She utilizes advanced pharmacological behavior management techniques that some children may need to achieve good oral health.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Kim enjoys jogging, cooking, crafting, and exploring the Bay Area with her fiancé.
