Dr. Norman D. Jacobskind DDS graduated from Hofstra University in 1976 where he earned a bachelor of arts in biology. Motivated by a desire to apply his passion for science in a clinical setting, he enrolled in the University of Maryland School of Dentistry where his academic achievements earned him entrance to the Gorgas Odontological Honorary Society. After graduation, he completed a yearlong residency at the Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY before opening his own private practice in East Rockaway, NY. In 1995, the practice was relocated to Oceanside, where he has since been practicing.

Dr. Jacobskind has built a reputation founded upon respect and professionalism. He aims to fulfill his professional creed- "patients first"- by applying his clinical expertise towards educating his patients and sharing their visions for treatment. After more than thirty years in practice, he is proud to have earned the trust and friendship of so many patients.

A lifelong resident of Long Island, Dr. Jacobskind currently resides in Oceanside, NY with his wife Esta. They are active members of the local community, and enjoy spending their free time in the company of their children.

Angela Blankstein RDH forayed into the world of dentistry at the young age of 15, when she began working as a dental assistant in her hometown of Saint James, New York. Intrigued by the career of her mother- also a hygienist- and wishing to become more involved with patient care, Angela pursued an associate’s degree in dental hygiene at Farmingdale State College. Soon after completing the program in May of 2007, she joined the team at Jacobskind Dental, where she has since been practicing.

In addition to being a skilled clinician, Angela excels at easing her patients’ anxieties about dental care. In her own words, "My goal is to eliminate patient fears so that patients can feel comfortable returning without hesitation." She prides herself on building strong and enduring relationships with her patients.

In August 2011, Angela met Mike Blankstein on the front lawn of Jacobskind Dental. Four years later, they were married and now live happily together in Queens, NY.
