Description
It's completely natural to feel anxious about visiting the dentist, but Chattanooga Family Dentistry can help you relax. Dr. Andrew Lunn and our team offer three types of sedation—oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide, and IV—to soothe all levels of anxiety. These options can ensure you experience little to no pain and feel relaxed throughout your care.

We offer conscious sedation
here at this practice.
[00:00:12.292]
A lot of patients come in here with a lot
of anxieties due to past dental problems.
[00:00:17.983]
A lot of people come in here
with gagging problems.
[00:00:20.280]
They cannot tolerate
anything done in their mouth.
[00:00:22.783]
Or they have a physical condition
in which they can't sit still.
[00:00:26.275]
And so we have to take them
to a comfortable and safe level
[00:00:29.376]
to get their work done.
[00:00:30.625]
If you ask any of my patients
that have had sedation dentistry,
[00:00:33.225]
they have come here,
they have remembered waking up
[00:00:36.675]
taking their pills.
[00:00:37.775]
They might remember showing up here,
and the next thing you know,
[00:00:40.259]
they woke up at home going,
how did I get here?
[00:00:42.483]
That's the kind of reaction
you want to have,
[00:00:44.976]
is they were asleep
throughout the procedure
[00:00:47.133]
and didn't remember
anything of the procedure.
[00:00:50.033]
That's the best benefit,
[00:00:51.410]
especially if they've had
some trauma in the past
[00:00:53.925]
and we can provide that for them
[00:00:55.916]
so they can relax
and they can have their dentistry done
[00:00:58.675]
and feel confident
that they can have this taken care of.
