fear-of-dentitstIf you feel a sense of fear and anxiety when visiting the dentist, you are not alone. It’s estimated that three out of every four people in the United States have a fear of going to the dentist, and it’s 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 aren’t 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.

The New Approach To Dentistry on Staten Island


Now, there’s 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 patient’s state of mind, her innovative approach to dentistry has brought a new look at traditional practices.

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. Mariana’s practice, showing that relaxation techniques such as music, aroma therapy and meditation increase recovery rates.
