Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
On a more personal note, Dr. Santamarina enjoys outdoor sports in his free time and is an avid fisherman and free diver. He donates time at his local church of Saint Thomas More and offers his dental services locally and on medical/dental mission trips to Central America.
