Sedation Dentistry – Franklin, TN
Comfortable, Relaxed Dental Care
Each year, millions of patients report avoiding dental visits due to fear or anxiety. This can be a rational fear stemming from a traumatic dental experience or an irrational phobia caused by an unpleasant sound, smell, or feeling when visiting the dental office. At Radical Wellness, we go above and beyond to make sure you are free from stress and pain throughout your time in our dental office. For those patients in need of added help relaxing during dental procedures, we also offer sedation dentistry in our Franklin, TN dental office. We may recommend sedation for anxious patients as well as those with any of the following concerns:
- Sensitive teeth, gums, and gag reflexes
- Desire to complete numerous or complex restorations in a single appointment to reduce visits or minimize time away from work
- Impairment that makes it unsafe or severely uncomfortable to undergo a dental procedure
Call our team to find out more or schedule an appointment with Dr. Paige Prather.
We now have options for anesthesia groups
Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation
Oral Conscious Dental Sedation
Intravenous Dental Sedation
Intravenous (IV) sedation is the deepest form of dental sedation we offer at Radical Wellness. Dr. Prather had to undergo years of additional training in the administration of IV sedation as well as monitoring vitals and performing emergency interventions when necessary. Our team is one of the few to offer IV sedation. Administered through an IV, this sedative is fast acting and easily adjustable like nitrous oxide, but the resulting level of sedation is much deeper and longer lasting than even oral conscious sedation. Following treatment, a friend or family member should drive patients home and monitor their recovery for the first twelve hours following treatment.
