Sedation Dentistry
Anxiety and fear of visiting the dentist are quite common. There are many people who would prefer to live in discomfort and pain instead of visiting the dentist for treatment. Fortunately, technological advancements and sedation dentistry allows you to relax and enjoy your visits to the dentist.
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry allows the patient to be sedated using various methods to ensure a quick and painless procedure. Sedation can be minimal, which allows you to be awake but very calm. Or, it could be general anesthesia that makes the patient completely unconscious.
Types of Sedation Dentistry
There are different types of sedation dentistry that can be used during your visit.
- Oral Sedation – involves the use of an oral sedative pill to reduce anxiety. Oral sedation is more suitable for short-term dental procedures.
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation – Also known as “laughing gas”, nitrous oxide is administered using a mask on the patient’s face. The use of nitrous sedation helps you to relax while remaining co-operative. Nitrous oxide sedation is preferred for mild to moderate anxieties and wears off quickly.
- IV Sedation – IV (intravenous) sedation is recommended for patients with high anxiety. IV sedation requires special preparation and licensing by your dentist, who will monitor your vital signs during the procedure to ensure everything goes well. IV sedation is preferred for more complicated dental procedures.

Testimonials
Dr. Souriel is the best! ( From Google)
We found Dr. Souriel after our long-standing dentist retired we went to one in Hudson. He seemed good but he retired within a month. Dr. Souriel took over his practice in Hudson. We started our relationship with a molar extraction. As luck would have it she has turned out to be the best dentist I have ever had. The procedure went off without any problems of pain.

Always an excellent experience
I have been coming to this office for nearly 20 years. I liked and trusted the previous dentist and was anxious years ago when he retired and sold his practice. From the moment she took over his office at that time, Dr. Sourial has met or exceeded my expectations. She has been professional, kind, thorough, and skilled in her care of me and of the other members of my family who also use her office. Her staff is also friendly, personable, and engaging. For someone like myself, who has anxiety about dental care from previous bad experience, knowing I am in good hands is very important. I can now come to the dentist with trust and calm, knowing I am in good hands
