Sedation Dentist Raleigh
We Care About Keeping You Comfortable
Many patients who avoid regular oral healthcare often admit they neglect treatment out of fear of the dentist’s office. Children and adults alike can suffer from dental anxiety, resulting in declining oral health over time. Dr. Thore aims to provide an alternative solution – one that keeps patients comfortable from beginning to end – oral conscious sedation. With the help of a small, ingestible pill, you can receive the dental care you need without feelings of anxiety getting in the way. If you would like to know if you’re a candidate for sedation dentistry in Raleigh, call our office today.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Typically, Dr. Thore will recommend oral conscious sedation dentistry if:
- You had a past traumatic experience at another dental office
- You have sensitive teeth or a strong gag reflex
- You suffer from mild or moderate dental anxiety
- You have a disability that makes it hard to sit still in the treatment chair
- You are preparing to undergo multiple dental treatments in one visit
- You are fearful of needles
You may not be eligible for sedation dentistry if you are pregnant, have a respiratory condition, or are taking certain medications.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is a prescribed pill medication that Dr. Thore will instruct you to take at a designated time before your appointment. Its effects can cause grogginess, so having someone drive you to and from your appointment is essential. As a more moderate form of sedation, it can be ideal if you struggle with dental anxiety or need more than one treatment during your visit. A few of its many benefits are that you’ll find it easy to stay relaxed throughout your appointment, and Dr. Thore will be able to deliver greater results more efficiently.
