Welcome to Our Practice

Dentistry for Children and Adolescents is conveniently located in the Lakewood Ranch area of Sarasota, Florida.  Dr. Maribel Santos-Cordero is a board certified pediatric dentist dedicated to the oral health of children, adolescents and children with special healthcare needs. We are delighted that you have considered us to care for the dental needs of your child.

At Dentistry for Children and Adolescents, we believe that a dentist and a patient become a team for treating an individual's dental needs.  A child that loves going to the dentist will be an adult that enjoys oral care. It is our goal to provide your child with positive pleasant experiences.  Our office is cheerful and our team is friendly.  We enjoy long lasting family-dentist relationships and look forward to sharing many years of healthy happy smiles with our patients.

Prevention begins with education.  We want you to be informed about your child’s dental needs.  Informed parents are better prepared to make decisions about their children's health and wellbeing. That is why we've included an extensive section on this web site covering the full array of topics associated with pediatric dentistry.  We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern about your child’s dental needs and care.

In these web pages you'll find information about our office, our doctor, our practice philosophy, our location and appointment scheduling procedures. We hope you find this web site useful and invite you to contact us with your questions at any time.
