Why Baltimore Patients Choose Us for Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety is the most common reason patients postpone the care they need. The right sedation approach turns the appointment from something you dread into something that helps you feel better about caring for your smile. Three things put our dentist in Baltimore, MD, in a different category for sedation work.
Sedation-Specific Training
Dr. Mohamed Saccoh is a member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation. Sedation is not a routine area of training for every dentist; DOCS membership reflects specific, ongoing training in the protocols, dosing, and safety practices that keep oral conscious sedation comfortable and predictable.
Making Care More Efficient
Sedation at FCI Dental Care can be used for everything from cleanings to restorative care. We use it for dental implants, bone grafting, tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and full mouth reconstruction. Patients who have avoided big procedures for years often complete their full plan in a few appointments.
Thorough Candidacy Screening
Before sedation is scheduled, Dr. Saccoh personally reviews your medical history, current medications, and any past reactions to anesthesia or sedation. Patients with heart or respiratory conditions are screened carefully. Sedation is only recommended when it is safe for your specific case.

Cost and Financing
The cost of sedation dentistry at FCI Dental Care depends on the procedure being performed and the dosage required. Dr. Saccoh provides a precise quote at our Baltimore, MD, office after reviewing the dental work you need and the sedation plan that fits your case.
For patients who would like to spread payments across a manageable monthly schedule, we accept CareCredit® financing. Insurance coverage and any additional financing options are discussed during your consultation so you can plan around the full cost before the appointment is made.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses prescription medication to induce deep relaxation and ease the anxiety many patients feel in the dentist's chair. It is especially helpful for adults who are anxious about dental work, who have difficulty sitting comfortably for long appointments, or who have other special needs that make traditional dentistry challenging. Dr. Saccoh uses sedation to make the necessary care accessible for patients of every age and background.
Unlike general anesthesia, oral conscious sedation does not put you to sleep. You stay aware enough to hear and respond, but the anxiety, discomfort, and time-perception of the appointment fade for quicker, more efficient care.
Are You a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Most adults who feel anxious about dental work are good candidates, including patients who have postponed care for years, those who struggle to sit comfortably through a long appointment, and patients with special needs. If dental fear is the reason you have avoided the dentist, sedation is worth a conversation.
Sedation is not the right answer for everyone. A history of certain heart or respiratory conditions, some medication interactions, or a past reaction to anesthesia can make sedation more risky. Dr. Saccoh sees sedation patients from across the Baltimore, MD, area, and he talks through your health history with you to explain whether oral conscious sedation is a safe fit, what an alternative might look like, and what happens on the day of treatment.
