Caroline Chun D.D.S

Associate – Pediatric Dentist

Originally from Houston, TX, Dr. Caroline Chun earned her undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from New York University in just three years before continuing her dental education at New York University College of Dentistry. There, she received the Dean’s Student Award for academic and clinical excellence and service to the College and community, the International College of Dentists Student Humanitarian Award for leadership and exemplary character in humanitarian service, and Best Clinical Case Report at New York University Research Day for her presentation, “Interpreting Risk Factors for External Cervical Resorption in Vital Dentition.”

Dr. Chun went on to complete a general practice residency, followed by a pediatric dental residency at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. There, she received advanced training in treating children of all ages, with a special focus on those with complex medical conditions and special healthcare needs. She also gained extensive experience in multidisciplinary care, working alongside medical teams to provide comprehensive, coordinated treatment. Right after graduating, she stayed on at Mount Sinai as the youngest attending in the pediatric dental residency program. She is currently board-eligible in pediatric dentistry.

Dr. Chun has a natural ability to connect with kids and ease their fears, turning dental visits into calm, fun experiences. Her approach is rooted in intentional care: she believes early, gentle treatment builds not just healthy teeth but real confidence, and she takes the time to explain every step clearly to both children and parents so nothing feels like a surprise. Each visit is thoughtfully paced to help children feel safe and comfortable, while parents are included as partners in their child’s care. Parents trust Dr. Chun for her warmth and patience, and for helping even the most nervous first-time patients leave with a big, bright smile. She treats every child with the same care she would want for her own family, and she hopes every visit leaves a child a little braver and a lot more excited to make dental visits a lifelong part of their routine.

In her free time, Dr. Chun loves traveling, trying new foods, and always spending time with her fiancé, family, friends, and her silly fluffy corgi, Bagel.
