Dr. Manav Malik

Manav Malik, DMD
Diplomate, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry
A native of Sarasota, Dr. Malik ("Dr. M&M"... as the kids call him!) is proud to bring his talent and expertise in treating children back to his hometown. He is the only Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist in the City of Sarasota.  Dr. Malik comes from a family of dentists, his father has been a Dentist in Sarasota for over 30 years and his sister is an Orthodontist.  
Dr. Malik attended Temple Emanuel (pre-K), Julie Rohr Academy (K-1st), and Pine View School (grades 2-12) before embarking on his dream to become a pediatric dentist.  He received a Bachelors in Biology from the University of Miami.  In his freshman year of college, while volunteering at Miami Children's Hospital as in-house DJ for Radio Lollipop, Dr. Malik realized that his passion involved working with children of all ages and backgrounds.  He then left for Gator Country to attend dental school at the University of Florida College of …Dentistry, where he graduated with highest honors--in the top 5% of his class--and received the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's Outstanding Student Award.   
After dental school, Dr. Malik completed his pediatric dental residency at one of the nation's top
programs--the Baylor College of Dentistry in association with Children's Medical Center of Dallas and
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.  Dr. Malik then went beyond residency to complete his board certification in pediatric dentistry and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.  
Having worked in private practice for a few years, Dr. Malik decided to move back to Sarasota and
open up a one-of-a-kind pediatric dental practice in his hometown.  
Dr. Malik is fluent in Spanish and English.  He has lectured nationally and internationally on various
topics in pediatric dentistry and has led pediatric dental mission trips to help educate parents and children around the world.  He enjoys teaching and is excited to now have the opportunity to
give back to the community in which he was raised. 
In his free time, Dr. Malik and his wife, Dr. Anu Malik, enjoy traveling, photography, cooking, playing sports, practicing yoga, and spending time with family and friends.
