Meet the Clearwater FL Healthy Body Dental Team
Anthony J Adams DDS PA
My name is Dr. Anthony J Adams. I was raised in the Clearwater/Dunedin Community. I married my high school sweetheart 54 years ago and am lucky to have done so. I treasure every day we have together. We were blessed with 3 sons and now have one granddaughter and four grandsons. Of course, my grandchildren are the most beautiful, well-behaved, intelligent kids on the planet (but I’m sure yours are too).
With a life-time interest in the mind-body connection, I was destined to have a career in health care. I’m grateful to have had the following training and education: St. Petersburg Jr. College, University of Florida, University of South Florida, University of Maryland School of Dentistry, plus countless hours of dental courses over the years. I am devoted to continuing education to the benefit of my patients. By taking a more natural, less invasive approach to your care, I can minimize the use of pharmaceutical drugs, surgery and other potentially toxic applications. I love to study medicine, alternative medicine and state-of-the-art dentistry. Even more fun, is taking patients to a higher level of health than any of the three disciplines can do alone. The goal of my practice is to share this knowledge with you – specifically how oral health directly impacts overall body health.
My staff and I love our patients as individuals and enjoy the reciprocal love they show us. I’m blessed to have been able to do so for over 45 years and counting. I have no intention to retire since practicing my brand of dentistry is so enjoyable and beneficial to others. I never tire of helping others achieve optimal health. My goal is for you to have a full and healthy life. I am committed to ensuring you receive only the best quality, health-enhancing care.
I would like you to meet my very qualified team:
Kayanna S Beckmann DMD
My name is Dr. Kayanna Beckmann and I am proud to be a dentist here at Healthy Body Dental. I was drawn to dentistry at a young age, having to go through many years of orthodontics and oral surgery to straighten my teeth. I have pursued the medical field with an appreciation for the connection of oral health to the overall health of the body. I completed my Bachelor’s in Molecular Biology and Microbiology in 2009 (Magna Cum Laude) from the University of Central Florida. I worked full time throughout my Bachelor’s at a level-one trauma center and obtained the highest training as a pharmacy technician. This pharmacy knowledge has proven invaluable throughout my dental career. In 2014 I attended the University of Florida College of Dentistry graduating with high honors (OKU-Magna Cum Laude) finishing fourth in my class. I furthered my education in nutrition becoming a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and wellness coach. I also received my Mastership in Aesthetic Laser Training from the Advanced Laser Institute. I am dedicated to bringing the best dentistry has to offer to my patients to ensure the highest level of care. I am very passionate about working with Integrative Medicine Doctors and Physicians to reach the health potential of my patients.

Tink Adams
My name is Tink Adams. I have worked alongside Dr. Anthony Adams (aka Tony) in many different positions: receptionist, event planner, office coordinator, “gofer” and partner. Being partner with my husband Tony is the position I am most proud. I was born in Clearwater and went to school in Dunedin. Tony and I met in high school, and we were married in 1967. While Tony was serving in the US Army in Germany, I worked at American Express Bank in Munich. I had the opportunity to travel extensively all over Europe. We returned home to Dunedin in 1970. Shortly after, Tony was accepted to the University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore. Two months before we moved to Baltimore, we had our first son. While in Baltimore, I worked for an orthodontist as a certified dental assistant. After Tony’s graduation from dental school, we were stationed in Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. Tony served as a dentist for the 101st Airborne and we were blessed with two more sons. After six years in Kentucky, we moved back to Clearwater where we opened our dental practice. I enjoy working together to create our caring and competent atmosphere. Patients not only feel comfortable, but know they are getting excellent dental care. I retired from working full time last year and enjoy keeping up with our five grandchildren.
Jennifer Noguez
My name is Jennifer Noguez and I am the Office Manager. I have had the privilege and pleasure to work with this practice for the past 28 years. I moved here from Queens, New York in 1991 and started working with Dr. Adams in 1994. I started as a sterilization tech as I awaited my certification as a chairside dental assistant. With the encouragement of Dr Adams, I furthered my education and career goals and became a dental hygienist. I graduated from St. Pete College Hygiene Program in 2005. I am grateful everyday I get to come to this office and be surrounded with positive, hard working, and talented people who care about others. I am also blessed that after 28 years the patients and staff are more like my extended family.
Colleen
My name is Colleen Fraker and I am the Hygienist. I began my career in Dentistry in 1982 in Orthodontics. I spent the next 18 years expanding my knowledge of occlusion, parafunctional habits, obstructed airways, and reconstruction due to trauma and/or head and neck deformities. In 2000, I graduated with my degree in Dental Hygiene. I have been active in teaching our Special Needs community about the importance of “brushing and flossing”. I have had the pleasure of being a guest speaker at group homes, and center schools to not only demonstrate good oral hygiene, but to spark enthusiasm about oral care. My passion is not only in healthy mouths, but also in nutrition. This life-long learning journey is ever evolving. A little peek into my personal life, I grew up on a local farm and showed horses competitively all over the Southeastern United States.
Iliana
My name is Iliana Babadjanova and I am the lead assistant. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Adams for going on 20 years. I attended Dental Assistant School, and graduated in 2003 with Honors being awarded “Best Student of the Year”. I was fortunate to have my internship assigned to Dr. Adams dental practice and the rest is history. Upon completion, he offered for me to join his team and I have been a part of Healthy Body Dental ever since. My lifelong beliefs in a holistic lifestyle are right in line with our office vision. Under the doctors’ guidance and passion for learning, I was privileged to attend numerous seminars, workshops and trainings. This has kept me current with the latest methods and advancements in Dentistry including laser dentistry. As dental assistant, my personal goal is to set a welcoming and friendly atmosphere where every patient feels relaxed and well cared for. As an interesting deviation from my career in Dentistry, I was a professional ballerina. I danced with the Sofia National Opera and Ballet Company in my native country Bulgaria and still teach to this day. I am fluent in Bulgarian and English and understand Serbian and Russian.

Testimonials
Dr. Adams & Staff:
I want to take this time and say thank you to an amazing dentist and his staff. I became a new patient of Dr. Adams when our old dentist retired. They reached out to us to let us know that he forward our file to Dr. Adams office. My husband visited Dr. Adams office first. He came home talking about how wonderful his staff was and how Dr. Adams took time to explain everything to him in detail of what needed to be done and the cost. Dr. Adams took the time to chat and get to know you on a personal level, not just another patient.
I am one that don’t really like going to the dentist but it was time for my cleaning. I told them how sensitive my teeth are and I don’t do pain. He said he could work with that to make me feel comfortable and that he did. I didn’t have any problems whatsoever. He was very honest and up front with me about the dental work needed to be done on my teeth. He didn’t try to fix what wasn’t broken to make money. As a matter of fact he said that everything was good I just need a few things done.
I can say Dr. Adams takes the time to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. I would recommend you make an appointment with his staff and get to know how a real dentist office should work. There customer service is outstanding. Thanks you Dr. Adams and Staff for the wonderful work you do. You make coming to your office a very pleasant experience.
Kim B- Looking forward to my next visit.
Dr. Adams & Staff;
I’m grateful to my mom for finding your billboard in the mall and even more grateful for all of your restoring my confidence in dentistry. I still have fear of procedures but my experience with your office made my “ordeal “really pleasant. That is saying a lot, coming from a true chicken.. See you in January.
Deb G. – A very pleasant office
Dr. Adams & Staff:
To tell the truth I was a little apprehensive about going to a “new “dentist, but from the time I walked thru the door I was impressed! The friendliness & efficiently of everyone was refreshing. I have been to several dentists and have had extensive work done on my teeth, but this was the 1st time I have not felt any pain. Thank you I have recommended several friends and family and I expect them to have the same friendly and caring experience I have had.
Sincerely Peggy W. – 1st time I have not felt any pain!!!
I came to Dr. Adams office for a second opinion. My first impression was that he listened to what I hoped could be accomplished. He explained what I could expect from him and his staff. I was hesitant at first but there was something sincere in Dr. Adams manner that helped me make my decision. I was very impressed with Dr. Adams and his staff. I am so pleased I decided to have Dr. Adams as my dentist. My teeth have never looked as good. I highly recommend Dr. Adams
Sincerely Pat J. – My teeth have never looked as good
Dear Dr. Adams,
I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of Beth and I. As I am and sure you may know, we will not even consider a dental plan that doesn’t allow us to use your office. Your staff is very professional and they are enjoyable to be around. What a great crew you have. I also wanted to remind you of the date we selected to go do some fishing. I have already spoke with my father and Saturday , November 13th is good for him to. I will contact you a couple days prior to see if this is still a good day for you. If the weather is good to us, I am pretty sure we will bring home some fish. Possibly even some Kings! Looking forward to getting out.
Sincerely Campbell J S. – Your Staff is Very Professional
