If you feel a sense of fear and anxiety when visiting the dentist, you are not alone. Its estimated that three out of every four people in the United States have a fear of going to the dentist, and its no wonder.
Most of our irrational fears stem from childhood experiences, a time when medical practices were still rudimentary and most of us were told by our parents that there was nothing to be afraid of. But if our parents were so brave, how come so many of us never saw them going!
The truth is simply that dentists used to be a scary place, but arent any longer. Dentists have been the beneficiary of many medical advancements that make procedures less painful and much faster than before. Add to that the fact that dentists are now aware of the sensual stimuli that evokes so much anxiety in their patients and you can see how finding a Staten Island dentist that specializes in eliminating fear can be so refreshing.
Now, theres a specialist in Staten Island; a dentist who understands how the smell of rubber surgical gloves and anesthetics, the sight of the white lab coat and the entire feel of your average dental office can incite anxiety in a patient. Even the word patient can be enough to set people off! The old vision of a dentist as a cold figure who imparts pain on people has now been eliminated.
Dr. Mariana Savel, DDS has created the first dental practice of its kind in the dental industry. Taking a page out of the alternative medical approach which is currently applied to the most advanced general medicine practitioners, Dr. Mariana Savel, DDS has revolutionized the dental world forever. By placing the emphasis on the patients state of mind, her innovative approach to dentistry has brought a new look at traditional practices.
By putting the body at ease through a manipulation of the senses, Dr. Mariana Savel, DDS has managed to provide the most effective way for relieving tension, anxiety and fear. People who visit her office often come in with a fear of dentists, but leave with the reassurance that their oral health has just changed forever. This is because many people only wait for dental emergencies before visiting the dentist. Now, they can enjoy the preventative services and treatments that allow them to visit the dentist on a regular basis: their fear is cured forever.
But perhaps the best news comes in the research that backs Dr. Marianas practice, showing that relaxation techniques such as music, aroma therapy and meditation increase recovery rates. This means that if youre looking for a Staten Island dentist that will alleviate your fear and help you get your oral health back on track with as little interruption to your schedule as possible, Dr. Mariana is the only choice.
In addition to the typical cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments and routine cavity fillings, Dr. Mariana Savel, DDS also provides a number of other services that make visiting any other Staten Island dentist unnecessary. Her no-waiting policy and state of the art equipment provide the most stress-free and relaxing atmosphere you will ever find.
And should you require a specialist, Dr. Mariana Savel, DDS connections and associations with some of the most gentle and professional specialists in the New York City and Tri-State area will place you in the right hands.
Gum diseases, or periodontal diseases are serious health concerns, and if you think you may have a gum disease, please see your dentist immediately. With that in mind lets have a look at what the most common signs of gum disease are. The most frequent or common signs of gum disease are inflammation on a daily or consistent basis.
To clarify even further; puffiness, swelling, increased sensitivity, (even while eating and drinking) or even bleeding of the gums, especially just after brushing your teeth. Sometimes although a puffiness or swelling may not manifest itself, you may just feel soreness or an irritation/ sensitivity in your gums that seems to be always present, and was not there before.
Another indicator to look for is the color of your gums; they should be a relatively consistent pink color. Be aware that if these symptoms present themselves on a consistent basis, (not just occasionally), you need to see your dentist as soon as you possibly can.
Gum disease results from a build-up of plaque on the teeth and gums, or more specifically the bacteria in plaque. If left unchecked, the plaque bacteria will attack the gums and the bone underneath them, often resulting in bone loss that leads to tooth loss as time progresses.
Plaque build -up is also very detrimental to the health of your other major organs; heart, kidney, liver etc., so it is essential that proper gum and tooth care is practiced. Really, periodontal disease is bad news, and as you age it can cause serious problems for you, so pay attention to consistent aches and swelling in the gums.
See your dentist at least two times a year, more if it is determined by you and your dentist that more frequent visits are necessary. Make sure to have your teeth cleaned every time you see your dentist, and tell her if you are experiencing ANY symptoms of possible gum disease
Brush your teeth regularly, no less than two times a day, and if you can, three times a day. Especially after meals. Take the time to learn how to brush your teeth correctly; there is definitely a right way, and a wrong way and you need to know the difference. Ask a dentist about the best toothbrushes available, and buy them.
Floss your teeth regularly, at least once a day. Generally it is best to floss at night before you go to bed, if you plan to floss only once a day. If you are a happy two times a day flosser, morning and night are the best times. Always use un-waxed floss, and do not floss so aggressively that you make your gums bleed, really; we are trying to avoid that. Be good to your mouth and teeth, they are going to be with you for your whole life.

I saw a man in the video and it looks like Mikhail Khayot. If that's him you might as well just close your business now. He's had too many problems with too many people look what happened to his own office. Anyone who comes to this dentist just don't see that guy that's all he's real bad news and this dentist should get rid of him

If you like a fair and helpful dentist office. This isn't the place for you. I have had three dentist appointments that the office cancelled on me. First off, They didn't even bother to call me and tell me they were cancelled. Luckily I called the day before the appointments both times. And found out. Otherwise I would've wasted two trips. I was very understanding and went along with the changes. But the day before the third appointment. They called to say they had the wrong info for my account. I didn't answer their initial phone call. So they cancelled the appointment the day before without even telling me. Now I am stuck because I just got layed off and my insurance expires this week. They have screwed my over 3 times. And now I can't get a dentist appointment before my insurance runs out. I called them to tell them my situation. And the lady's response was we can't do anything for you because you are not one of our Patients yet. This dentist office clearly doesn't care about its patients or future patients. If you need a dentist appointment. Try going somewhere else!

I had a very good experience with Dr. Savel. Her dental assistant is very nice and compliments the partnership. Dr. Savel performed fillings for cavities that I had. She was very thorough, neat, and precise with the work that she did.
